The book "Six Great Scientists" reviews Albert Einstein, Cobernicus, Charles Darwin, Galileo, Isaac Newton and Marie Curie.
At a mere 269 pages, it is a light reading; well suited for a short flight, or overnight hotel stay.
The book describes their life, and how the struggled to get where their made their contributions to the world of science. Some sad and some funny stories about the brains that got us here today. It is more of a biographical review then a scientific text. Definitely there are some interesting topics discussed, but well within the laymen's reach.
I recommend this light reading to anyone with a bit of a science interest. Might be even good for a good gift to a new college kid, looking at science as a general direction.
