A Century of Nature: Twenty-One Discoveries That Changed Science and the World Paperback - 2003 - 1st Edition
by Laura Garwin (Editor); Tim Lincoln (Editor)
First line
In the early twentieth century, the prevailing view was that humans had originated in Eurasia.
From the rear cover
Many of the scientific breakthroughs of the twentieth century were first reported in the journal Nature. A Century of Nature brings together in one volume Nature's greatest hits--reproductions of seminal contributions that changed science and the world, accompanied by essays written by leading scientists (including four Nobel laureates) that provide historical context for each article, explain its insights in graceful, accessible prose, and celebrate the serendipity of discovery and the rewards of searching for needles in haystacks.
