Science today often seems incomprehensible to the general public, filled with specialized jargon and baffling math that eludes most readers. Consequently, science is often held in low esteem, despite being the foundation of all modern advancements.

Written in an informal, readable format, it presents an imagined dialogue between the reader and the author. The book explains the thought processes of some of history's greatest minds without heavy use of math or technical jargon. It includes numerous images and sketches to illustrate concepts and portrays the lives of famous scientists, showing that they too struggled with everyday problems just like everyone else. Engage with this accessible guide to scientific thinking and discover how the great scientific minds developed their groundbreaking theories.
