This book is an encyclopedia that introduces the history of science from the Stone Age, 6,000 years before the birth of chemistry, to the present day.
Around the Egyptian civilization, humans began to use art and religion as motifs for more and more items, and by the Greek and Roman civilizations, anatomy, medicine, and astronomy had developed.
The Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci demonstrated his talent in other fields, including art (Mona Lisa), anatomy, geology, geography, architecture, engineering, and even as a military engineer.
In the 14th century, people in Italy began to take an interest in the Greek language, and the city of Renaissance Florence became the world's center of learning.
The reason why chemistry has developed to the present day all stems from human curiosity.
I would like to follow the example of the scientists who came before me and always cherish my curiosity and take on new challenges.
