The history of science is the history of great minds building upon the ideas of their predecessors. In 1676, Isaac Newton wrote to Robert Hooke, If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. The five-volume On the Shoulders of Giants set chronologically presents those giants and their work. By showing how science evolved from the philosophies of ancient Greece to today's high-tech science, these volumes convey the importance and the excitement of scientific discovery.
