Archimedes to Hawking takes the reader on a journey across the centuries as it 

explores the eponymous physical laws--from Archimedes\' Law of Buoyancy and 

Kepler\'s Laws of Planetary Motion to Heisenberg\'s Uncertainty Principle and 

Hubble\'s Law of Cosmic Expansion--whose ramifications have profoundly altered 

our everyday lives and our understanding of the universe.

Throughout this fascinating book, Clifford Pickover invites us to share in the 

amazing adventures of brilliant, quirky, and passionate people after whom these 

laws are named. These lawgivers turn out to be a fascinating, diverse, and 

sometimes eccentric group of people. Many were extremely versatile 

polymaths--human dynamos with a seemingly infinite supply of curiosity and 

energy and who worked in many different areas in science. Others had 

non-conventional educations and displayed their unusual talents from an early 

age. Some experienced resistance to their ideas, causing significant personal 

anguish. Pickover examines more than 40 great laws, providing brief and cogent 

introductions to the science behind the laws as well as engaging biographies of 

such scientists as Newton, Faraday, Ohm, Curie, and Planck. Throughout, he 

includes fascinating, little-known tidbits relating to the law or lawgiver, and 

he provides cross-references to other laws or equations mentioned in the book. 

For several entries, he includes simple numerical examples and solved problems 

so that readers can have a hands-on understanding of the application of the law.

A sweeping survey of scientific discovery as well as an intriguing portrait 

gallery of some of the greatest minds in history, this superb volume will engage 

everyone interested inscience and the physical world or in the dazzling 

creativity of these brilliant thinkers.
