This is part of the series covering the "Golden Age" of science, an era when science seemed to be at the forefront of human activity and scientists were making great and exciting advances, both applied and theoretical. This volume represents a survey of the most significant discoveries of a turbulent period of world history and a period of extraordinary scientific activity including: the discovery of the function of DNA and the process of genetics; the discovery of radioactivity and X-rays; the development of the atomic bomb; great advances in pharmacology with the development of new drugs to conquer formerly lethal diseases; and much more. - from Amzon
