Instability rules : the ten most amazing ideas of modern science / by Flowers, Charles,1942-(CARDINAL)679645;
Hubble and the expanding universe -- Einstein and the wonder of light -- Bohr and the puzzles of the quantum world -- Wegener and the dance of the continents -- Big bang, big crunch, and big bore -- Fermat, Godel, and fuzzy math -- Mendel, Watson, Crick, and the human genome -- Hominids, humans, and the search for origins -- Turing and the brain as computer, and vice versa -- Freud, the unconscious, and other views.Publisher's description: A century of remarkable scientific discovery "We learned that the continents are forever slipping and sliding around the globe, like clothing on a teenager, and the mountains are forever rising, the oceans widening, the volcanoes stoking their furnaces for the next blast. "Our bodies are a fever of change as our minds perpetually rewire themselves and our genes make uncountable decisions, renewing or growing or misfiring to produce the runaway cancers that may kill us, initiating the instability of mortal decay ..." "Within tiny atomic universes, particles pop in and out of being, impossible as that may be to conceive, while atoms collide and meld, buzzing continually in their electrically charged states. "This, then, was the truth behind many of the defining discoveries of the twentieth century: existence is constant activity."

A little history of science / by Bynum, W. F.(William F.),1943-(CARDINAL)518947;
In the beginning -- Needles and numbers -- Atoms and the void -- The father of medicine : Hippocrates -- 'The master of those who know' : Aristotle -- The emperor's doctor : Galen -- Science in Islam -- Out of the darkness -- Searching for the philosopher's stone -- Uncovering the human body -- Where is the centre of the universe? -- Leaning towers and telescopes : Galileo -- Round and round : Harvey -- Knowledge is power : Bacon and Descartes -- The 'new chemistry' -- What goes up-- : Newton -- Bright sparks -- The clockwork universe -- Ordering the world -- Airs and gases -- Tiny pieces of matter -- Forces, fields, and magnetism -- Digging up dinosaurs -- The history of our planet -- The greatest show on Earth -- Little boxes of life -- Coughs, sneezes, and diseases -- Engines and energy -- Tabling the elements -- Into the atom -- Radioactivity -- The game-changer : Einstein -- Moving continents --What do we inherit? -- Where did we come from? -- Wonder drugs -- Building blocks -- Reading 'the book of life' : the Human Genome Project -- The Big Bang -- Science in our digital age."Science is fantastic. It tells us about the infinite reaches of space, the tiniest living organism, the human body, the history of Earth. People have always been doing science because they have always wanted to make sense of the world and harness its power. From ancient Greek philosophers through Einstein and Watson and Crick to the computer-assisted scientists of today, men and women have wondered, examined, experimented, calculated, and sometimes made discoveries so earthshaking that people understood the world--or themselves--in an entirely new way.This inviting book tells a great adventure story: the history of science. It takes readers to the stars through the telescope, as the sun replaces the earth at the center of our universe. It delves beneath the surface of the planet, charts the evolution of chemistry's periodic table, introduces the physics that explain electricity, gravity, and the structure of atoms. It recounts the scientific quest that revealed the DNA molecule and opened unimagined new vistas for exploration.Emphasizing surprising and personal stories of scientists both famous and unsung, A Little History of Science traces the march of science through the centuries. The book opens a window on the exciting and unpredictable nature of scientific activity and describes the uproar that may ensue when scientific findings challenge established ideas. With delightful illustrations and a warm, accessible style, this is a volume for young and old to treasure together"--

The greatest capitalist who ever lived : Tom Watson Jr. and the epic story of how IBM created the digital age / by McElvenny, Ralph Watson,author.(CARDINAL)878496; Wortman, Marc(Marc Josef),author.(CARDINAL)550258;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Thomas Watson Jr. drove IBM to undertake the biggest gamble in business history with a revolution no other company of the age could dare--the creation in the 1960s of the IBM System/360, the world's first fully integrated and compatible mainframe computer that laid the foundation for the information technology future. Its success made IBM the most valuable company in America. Fortune magazine touted him as "the greatest capitalist who ever lived." Time named him one of the "One Hundred People of the Century." Behind closed doors, Watson was a multifaceted, complicated man. As a young man, he was a failed student and playboy, an unlikely candidate for corporate titan. He pulled his life together as a courageous World War II pilot and took over IBM after his father's death. He suffered from anxiety and depression so overwhelming that he spent days prostrate and locked in a bathroom at home while IBM faced crisis after crisis. And he carried out a family-shattering battle over the future of IBM with his brother Dick, who expected to follow him as CEO. But despite his many demons, he laid the foundation for what eventually became the global information technology industry, which dominates today's world. His story, and the industry he created, is equal to, ifnot more important than that of Rockefeller and Standard Oil, Vanderbilt and the railroads, and Morgan in finance"--
