Isaac Newton
One day Sir Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree, when an apple fell onto his head. That apple sparked a journey into science and physics and became a gateway for human wisdom. In this book, you can follow Newton on this path of discovery and exploration throughout his life. Perhaps just like Newton, you will stumble upon inspiration and open additional doors for science!

Galileo
Galileo always challenged authority, whether in his dull classrooms or around the other monks. His resistance allowed him to develop wisdom and insight, and he became known as one of the “rebels of the times.” His discoveries and exploration had a major role in the scientific revolution during the 17th Century.

Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin always asked the hard questions about the origins of life. His mother didn’t always have the answer for him and said, “When you grow up, you will solve them one by one!” On his journey to discover the theory of evolution, he sailed the sea for five years, collecting fossils and other specimens. Learn about the mysteries of life and Darwin’s journey to success.

Nobel
After witnessing a quarry accident caused by gunpowder, Alfred Nobel was determined to invent a safer alternative for gunpowder—eventually creating “Nobel’s Safety Powder,” also known as Dynamite. However, Nobel questioned the morality of his new invention as it also had potential to become a powerful weapon. Out to right his regrets, Nobel donated to create the Nobel Prize for human progress and peace.

Thomas Edison
“I did not fail. I have just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” These famous words come from the inventor of the light bulb, Thomas Edison. After dropping out of school, Edison created thousands of patents for numerous inventions—to become the famous American inventor and businessman.

Stephen Hawking
Hawking’s physical disabilities never stopped the pace of his exploration and discoveries for science and theoretical physics. Some say he’s the Albert Einstein of our time, and he’s truly an inspiration to us all. Follow his journey to success and get a glimpse into the life of Stephen Hawking.
