Cádiz: The Story of Europe's Oldest City

The author of the story of a science must be guided by the constraints and demands imposed on him by the definition of "science" itself. A science is more than a body of knowledge expounded in original papers and collected in books; it is the active pursuit of this knowledge by a dedicated group of people ( scientists) who are devoted to this '' great adventure'' by an inner drive that they cannot deny.

The authors discuss the history of physical science, from the ancient Greeks until modern times.
