“Leaving gaps on purpose takes nerve: Mendeleev saved spaces in his table for elements nobody had found yet. One of a hundred true stories that make science an adventure worth joining.”
Chimps named Flo and Frodo, and a periodic table from a dream.
The Amazing Discoveries of 100 Brilliant Scientists is an illustrated non-fiction book about 100 scientists and the world-changing breakthroughs they made.
Each discovery is told as a short, illustrated story with a playful headline. The stories range across centuries and fields, taking in Marie Curie, Albert Einstein and Jane Goodall's years with wild chimps in Tanzania. Diagrams, like a colour-coded Periodic Table, keep the science clear.
What they'll discover
- How Jane Goodall's chimps fished for termites with twigs, surprising experts who believed only humans used tools.
- Why Dmitri Mendeleev left gaps in his Periodic Table for elements not yet found.
- Speech bubbles where scientists speak up, like Mendeleev pointing out that mendelevium is named after him.
