About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager begins questioning how the world works or feels frustrated by the slow pace of making a discovery. This narrative history is perfect for students who need to see that brilliance is often the result of decades of quiet observation, messy failures, and the courage to challenge established norms. Joy Hakim transforms scientific theory into a human drama, following thinkers like Darwin and Wallace as they piece together the puzzle of life. By focusing on the 'story' of science, Hakim makes complex biological concepts accessible and deeply engaging. This volume covers the shift from a static view of the world to a dynamic, evolving one, highlighting the resilience and curiosity required to change the course of human thought. It is an ideal choice for the intellectually curious teen who values logic, history, and the natural world, offering a sophisticated look at how ideas are born and refined through time.
