## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A must read if you want to know how Science works!
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2013*

This book helps to answer the question, "How we know what we know?"  It is designed for scientists and non-scientists alike - giving a glimpse of the logic and thought processes that have gone in to the most important discoveries of our human existence.Have ever wondered how we figured out the earth was round and went around the sun before we could fly?  Have you pondered how we went so quickly from earth, air, fire and water to thinking about the world in terms of atoms?  This is just a taste of what you will find.These questions and much more are handled in a sensitive, easy to read manner in a book which is part science text, part history lesson and part tall-tale.  Expect details on the lives of some of the most famous scientists in history, fascinating information on how they designed and implemented their famous experiments, and remarkable discussion on the implications of that work.Although the book is a bit dated, the histories described haven't changed.  The illustrations are quite useful, if again, a bit old.

    This Truth doth Ring True
  

*by V***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2012*

When this series was on TV in the late 80s I watched it over & over (I had taped it)& loved Morrison's graphic demonstrations of science principles.  He was so good at boiling things down to their most basic essence which showed you exactly why those truths were undeniable.  I owned this book
  
The Ring of Truth: An Inquiry into How We Know What We Know







  
  
     for a long time but when my house burned I lost it so went looking for it online-found it on Amazon's website & ordered it! Now I am looking for a few hundred other books also lost in the fire.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
