On a damp November evening in 1660, a small group of men gathered to her a twenty-eight-year-old - and now widely famous - Christopher Wren give an astronomy lecture. as they listened to him speak, his audience decided to create a society to promote he accumulation of useful knowledge. and with that, the Royal Society was born. Since then, the Society's fellows have split the atom, discovered hydrogen, the double helix and the electron. They've invented the World Wide Web and developed profound theories on evolution, gravity and motion. they've tested the very limits of knowledge itself. Introduced and edited by Bill Bryson, Seeing Further is filled to the brim with contributions from some of today's most eminent writers: Richard Dawkins on Darwin, Margaret Atwood on mad scientists: Richard Holmes on ballooners, and many more. Closing with the reflections of the Society's former President, Martin Rees, Seeing Further forms a truly remarkable and unique celebration of one of the greatest scientific forces in history.
