Exploring the amazing discoveries of Aristotle, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, and Einstein, this book claims to tell \u201cthe most remarkable story in all secular history.\u201d Far from being just a simple recounting of the scientific details, this book explains why the culmination of these men\u2019s work is\u201dthe greatest single intellectual success which mankind has achieved.\u201d<\/span>\n\n<\/p> <p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"body_Drop-Cap CharOverride-3\">We explored how \u201ctheir discoveries changed the character of man\u2019s habitual mental operations even in the conduct of the non-material sciences while transforming the whole diagram of the physical universe and the very texture of human life itself.\u201d Through the reading and discussion of this work, faculty fostered cross-disciplinary connections and gained a renewed excitement for the incredible development of thought and scholarship, of which we are all a
