Anthologies in this series focus on the pivotal science and medical discoveries that changed the course of human history. Including both primary and secondary sources, each anthology traces the progression of scientific thought that made the discovery possible, chronicles the challenges faced by those now working in the field, and includes predictions about future developments and applications. Each book also provides opposing views on the most controversial aspects of the discovery. Finally, volumes in this series provide additional research tools, such as an annotated table of contents, an introductory essay providing important context, a detailed chronology, extensive bibliography, and an index to make finding topics easier.
