Download Out of the Shadow of a Giant: Hooke, Halley and the Birth of British Science AudioBook Free
What if Isaac Newton had never lived? Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley, whose place ever sold has been overshadowed by the gigantic amount of Newton, were pioneering experts within their own right and instrumental in establishing the Royal Culture. Whilst Newton is extensively regarded as one of the biggest scientists ever and the daddy of the English scientific revolution, John and Mary Gribbin uncover the amazing tale of Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley, whose technological achievements neatly adopt the hundred years or so where science as we realize it became set up in Britain. They claim persuasively that even without Newton, technology in Britain could have made a great revolution in the next 50 percent of the 17th century, going by two incredible men, Hooke and Halley.
