Pang, Camilla

£18.99

Science helps us to understand ourselves in a world where we often feel like strangers – but what we know about the world around us, what has already been explored and discovered is only half of science’s story. This book will explore the frontier between what we do and don’t know about the world: where knowledge meets mystery, complexity overwhelms certainty, and the vastness of our universe unspools the logic of science’s established laws. Dr Camilla Pang will teach you to embrace the beauty in the unexplained and fall in love with the search for unknown answers. Camilla will look at some of the biggest mysteries facing science today, and more importantly, how some of the best scientists in the world are exploring them.

Description

A scientist’s journey from observation to discovery is anything but straightforward. It is littered with failure, unexpected diversions and joyous realizations. Science helps us to understand ourselves – but what we know about the world around us, what has already been explored and discovered, is only half of science’s story.

Dr Camilla Pang will look at some of the biggest mysteries facing science today and how some of the best, most cutting-edge scientists can illuminate our own approaches to observation, hypothesis, exploration, troubleshooting and discovery in our own lives. Breakthrough explores the frontier between what we do and don’t know about the world: where knowledge meets mystery, complexity overwhelms certainty, and the vastness of our universe unspools the logic of science’s established laws.

There’s a scientist hidden inside all of us. Science’s greatest gift to us is not formulae but enabling the urge to discover that makes us truly human.
