Synopsis
The original words announcing great scientific discoveries, from the first 'Eureka!' to the cloning of Dolly the sheep, can all be found in this fascinating addition to the world-famous Oxford Quotations series. An essential reference tool, put together over fifteen years with the assistance of a distinguished team of specialist advisers, it includes full author descriptions, exact sources, and a word-finding index for easy reference. Scholarly but accessible, it also presents the human face of science, as scientists reflect on achievements and failures in their own lives and those of others. For example, you've probably already hear Darwin's own thoughts on natural selection, but how about his assessment of the pros and cons of marriage? From Archimedes to Einstein and beyond, the Oxford Dictionary of Scientific Quotations charts the progress of the great ideas of science. It is an engaging and surprising read for all lovers of science, history, or wit., The original words announcing great scientific discoveries, from the first 'Eureka ' to the cloning of Dolly the sheep, can all be found in this fascinating addition to the world-famous Oxford Quotations series.

'Schrödinger's wave-mechanics is not a physical theory but a dodge - and a very good dodge too.' Arthur Eddington 'I have little patience with scientists who take a board of wood, look for its thinnest part and drill a great number of holes where drilling is easy.'

Rosalind Franklin'I do not feel obliged to believe that that same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.'

As always, Thrift Books delivers perfection and happiness to my door and I'm thrilled! The extra discount for multiple items ordered on top of the already very low prices makes me very happy and a loyal customer because I trust this company 100%. They have an awesome website too with fun features - I just like Thrift Books overall! The book came in better condition than listed (most of the time, that's the case with this awesome business) and it came very fast for economy mail. A++++++++++++++++

These are the old recipes I've been looking for. It reminds me of the food mom used to make. I'm looking forward to making some of them. I have a very good experience all around. Thanks!
