A History of Science
by Henry Smith Williams
Publisher: Project Gutenberg 2009
ISBN/ASIN: B000859KA8
Description:
We shall best understand our story of the growth of science if we think of each new principle as a stepping-stone which must fit into its own particular niche; and if we reflect that the entire structure of modern civilization would be different from what it is, and less perfect than it is, had not that particular stepping-stone been found and shaped and placed in position.
