Weighing the soul : the evolution of scientific beliefs
Fisher, Len2005
Books
Len Fisher tells the stories of scientific experiments and ideas that appeared bizarre, peculiar or daft at the the time but which led to a greater understanding of nature's disobedience of a 'common-sense' view of the world. He takes us from Galileo to Newton, from Ohm's Law to Frankenstein and from Einstein to 'The Water Babies'.
