Archimedes To Hawking

Cliff Pickover is well known as webmaster of Reality Carnival and Reality Carnival Unleashed of which I am a co-blogger. Cliff is also a prolific writer of books about science, art, and creativity.

His latest book is called 'Archimedes to Hawking.' It's on my coffee table at the moment and it offers an interesting look into the world of some of the most brilliant, quirky, and passionate scientific minds in history. From Archimedes' Law of Buoyancy to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and from Newton's Law of Motion to Hubble's Law of Cosmic Expansion, Archimedes to Hawking is a fascinating read.
