What is History's Greatest Discoveries And The People Who Made Them about?

Wherever man turns his attention, new horizons and possibilities are to be found. When William Herschel looked to the sky he discovered a new planet, Uranus; when Vasco da Gama took to the sea he sailed around Africa, opening a new trade route to the East; and when Antony van Leeuwenhoek looked through his powerful microscope it revealed a previously unseen world. Some discoveries, of course, are not glamorous - but where would we be without Napier's logarithms? History's Greatest Discoveries tells the stories of 50 of man's most pivotal discoveries, from basic technological advances such as the first stone tools to modern medical breakthroughs such as Fleming's discovery of the antibiotic properties of penicillin.
