Description
The book introduces readers to the lives and works of twenty famous figures in French science, spanning the period from the 16th to the early 20th century. This book should be read primarily by educators in scientific fields. They will find little-known moments of happiness and misfortune in the lives of those who shaped our understanding of the surrounding world. They will then be able to better explain to their students that the current scientific image of the world and the universe did not emerge without struggles, without victories and defeats, with the latter often being much more numerous. Examples from this book could help evoke in young people the feeling that they too can embark on the great adventure of science without fear. At a time when the scientific approach is in decline and deeply sectarian dogmas, superstitions, and pseudosciences are gaining ground, this would be particularly desirable.
