Too many boring asides about the researchers and other key figures.

Revisado: 09-09-24

Unlike Al-Khalili's usual focus on the awe and wonder of the science, this book keeps sidetracking itself with boring asides that I think are intended to make the story more human and appeal to a broader audience. It also spends a lot of time on the history of our understanding of the science in a typical past to present sequential manner. Anyone who has taken a science class (hopefully this has changed now) will be familiar with the approach of starting at the beginning and following the development of the field, stopping to praise the individual discoverers by name and telling a memorable anecdote about them. I think this is an archaic way to present a topic and I could care less what a total stranger to me was doing in their spare time many decades ago. .
