Summary
"In 1950, no one had heard of quarks, no one knew the structure of DNA, and no manufactured object had left the gravitational pull of Earth. Now these are all commonplace. This work details the people and discoveries that brought disease eradication, desktop computers, close up looks of outer space, and a sense of wonder at what the human mind can accomplish. This is the age of science, this is the book to present that age to the reader."--BOOK JACKET
