Llorente, Ignasi

Immerse yourself in the life and legacy of the great scientists of history. How did they live? How did they change the course of humanity with their ideas and discoveries? How did they deal with a society that often dismissed them as crazy? Ignasi Llorente transports us to the most outstanding moments in the history of science, recreating the most exciting episodes in the lives of these geniuses. With a human approach, he dismantles myths, reveals his advances, helps us understand the historical importance of each one and the essence of his theories. We will discover how Thales of Miletus was able to avoid a war thanks to his mastery of astronomy. We will observe the vast sky together with Brahe, Kepler and Galileo, pioneers who revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos. We will feel the suffering of Lavoisier during his unfair death trial, illustrating the struggle of many visionaries in the face of resistance to changes in society. We will witness Darwin's burial in the majestic Westminster Abbey, next to Newton, honoring those whose ideas changed our way of understanding the world; We will even attend, excited, the laboratory of Robert Dicke, who tuned into his television the oldest sound in the world... the unusual echo of the big bang. Through these compelling stories, Llorente reveals to us the intimate lives and lasting legacy of these exceptional scientists. His insightful and humane approach invites us to challenge misperceptions, appreciate genius, and understand the impact they have had on our society and on the progress of humanity. A unique look to enjoy the fascinating world of the history of science.
