Product Description

Product Description

As it is impossible to rank them in order of importance, they are listed chronologically from as far back as 35,000 BC to the discovery of Oetzi, the Ice Man in 1991. Each article goes into detail about who the discoverers were, how the discoveries came about and their significance. For example in 1543,while on his deathbead, Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus published his theory that the Sun is a motionless body at the centre of the solar system. To make reference easier the book is divided into five sections: 1. Early Discoveries 2.The Great Age of Discovery 3.The Age of Enlightenment 4.The Nineteenth-CenturyWorld 5.The ModernWorld

5.0 out of 5 stars A WORTHY GIFT TO A NON READER, 3 Oct 2009
By D. Ellis "jacules" (wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I give this title considerable thought as it was to be a gift to a (NON -READER) what i mean by this can be attributed to laptop technolgy.which has many uses.To be able to gain different types of knowledge at a young age is crual for a deleveloping mind, and to be able to dicuss them later can be very rewarding. Hence this book answers many aspects of learning which many adult would find beneficial.

A dumbed-down book for a dumbed-down generation - don't waste your time or money on this book.
