Description

 							
  
 
Publication Date: May 5, 2015
  
  A few million years ago, our ancestors came down from the trees and
began to stand upright, freeing our hands to create tools and our minds to grapple with the world around us.
  
  Leonard Mlodinow takes us on a passionate and inspiring tour through the exciting history of human progress and the
key events in the development of science. In the process, he presents a fascinating new look at the unique
characteristics of our species and our society that helped propel us from stone tools to written language and through
the birth of chemistry, biology, and modern physics to today’s technological world.
  
  Along the way
he explores the cultural conditions that influenced scientific thought through the ages and the colorful personalities
of some of the great philosophers, scientists, and thinkers: Galileo, who preferred painting and poetry to medicine and
dropped out of university; Isaac Newton, who stuck needlelike bodkins into his eyes to better understand changes in
light and color; and Antoine Lavoisier, who drank nothing but milk for two weeks to examine its effects on his body.
Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, and many lesser-known but equally brilliant minds also populate
these pages, each of their stories showing how much of human achievement can be attributed to the stubborn pursuit of
simple questions (why? how?), bravely asked.
  
  The Upright Thinkers is a book for science lovers and for
anyone interested in creative thinking and in our ongoing quest to understand our world. At once deeply informed,
accessible, and infused with the author’s trademark wit, this insightful work is a stunning tribute to
humanity’s intellectual curiosity.
  
  (With black-and-white illustrations throughout.)
  
 
From the Hardcover edition.
  
  Review
  
  “Mlodinow never fails to make science both
accessible and entertaining.” —Stephen Hawking, author of A Brief History of Time
  
 
“Powerful. . . . Breath[es] new life into science history. [Mlodinow] frames narratives of great thinkers with
serial scenes of his father’s great courage and curiosity.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
  
  “[An] amazingly compact yet satisfying history. . . . [Mlodinow] is a whiz of a popular-science
writer. . . . Amateur science mavens couldn’t ask for a better brief, introductory text.” —Ray
Olson, *Booklist
  
  “How did we move so rapidly from caves to cars, from the Savannah to skyscrapers,
from walking on two legs to bounding on the Moon? Follow Mlodinow on an astonishing tour of our species’ journey;
with each new stop, you'll discover how our unceasing progress is driven by something very special about human brains:
our unslakable thirst for knowledge.” —David Eagleman, PhD, Neuroscientist, New York Times bestselling
author of Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain*
  
  “[A] bracing work of scientific history. . . .
Don’t worry if quantum physics and the theory of relativity leave you quaking. . . . Mlodinow knows how to talk
to the science-challenged.” —Library Journal 
  
  “Endlessly fascinating . . .
consistently thought-provoking. . . . A selective, guided tour of the human accumulation of knowledge . . . [and] the
striking characters who pioneered scientific discoveries. . . . A breathtaking survey.” —Kirkus Reviews
(starred review)
  
  “Mlodinow vividly traces the revolutions in thought and culture that define our
civilization and, as a bonus, presents a stimulating overview of the history and majestic sweep of modern
science.” —V. S. Ramachandran, author of The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist’s Quest for What
Makes Us Human
  
  “An enjoyable and readable introduction to the history of western science, beginning
with the first stone tools and ending in the era of quantum physics. Mlodinow takes us on a tour of some of the high
points of scientific discovery from Egyptian and Mesopotamian mathematics, to Pythagoras and Aristotle, to the classical
era of Galileo and Newton, and finally to the strange worlds of Einsteinian relativity and the uncertainty principle,
which taught us how to study worlds beyond the reach of our everyday senses.” —David Christian, co-author
of Big History: Between Nothing and Everything, and professor, Macquarie University, Sydney
