I have a translated version of this book-Hebrew. It was a wonderful feeling to scan through 200 years of scientific events and how they are connected. In some cases it seems un-believable, childish, and politicized. I did not like the superlativity in the book, sometime I felt it was like a religous sermon. Generally, this book provides execelent summary of the famous scientists; and a young person, with interest in science, will understand there is nothing absolute, and the negative/positive compatetive world exist also in the science communities. Final note, a successful new theories should have friends in the circle of the decision makers-to secur funding and emotional support.
