The scientific history is set in the 1600s but is as current as the debate over global warming. Unfortunately, the scope is too vast, the reader's patience may wear thin, and may (gasp) not even finish. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/911195?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
