HORIZONS: A GLOBAL HISTORY OF SCIENCE (PB)

In this major retelling of the history of science from 1450 to the present day, James Poskett explodes the myth that science began in Europe. Here, for the first time, Poskett celebrates how scientists from Africa, America, Asia and the Pacific were integral to this very human story. We meet Graman Kwasi, the African botanist who discovered a new cure for malaria; Hantaro Nagaoka, the Japanese scientist who first described the structure of the atom; and Zhao Zhongyao, the Chinese physicist who discovered antimatter.
