520    "From the Pythagorean theorem to DNA's double helix, from 
       the discovery of microscopic life-forms to the theory of 
       relativity--the big ideas of science and technology shape 
       an era's worldview. Open this book, grasp the newest ideas
       from thought leaders of today, then spring off from them 
       to move back through the past, one big idea at a time. 
       Meet the people who gave birth to these ideas--and those 
       who fought against them. Meet the MIT electrical engineer 
       currently developing a way to turn on the lights 
       cordlessly, then move back through Nikola Tesla's 
       visionary concept of the wireless transfer of energy, 
       Thomas Edison's groundbreaking work in developing a 
       nationwide electrical grid, Ben Franklin's experiments to 
       capture electricity, all the way back to ancient Greece, 
       where Thales of Miletus described static electricity as a 
       property of naturally occurring amber.  Ingeniously 
       organized and eminently browsable, this richly visual 
       volume is divided into six big sections--medicine, 
       transportation, communication, biology, chemistry, and the
       environment. Words and images that work together to 
       explain such fascinating and elusive subjects as cloud 
       computing, sunshields to cool the Earth, and self-driving 
       cars. What did it take to get to these futuristic 
       realities? Then, turn the page and follow a reverse-
       chronological illustrated time line of science and 
       technology. This remarkable illustrated history tells the 
       story of every Big Idea in our history, seen through the 
       lens of where science is taking us today - and tomorrow.  
       With an irresistibly cutting-edge look and original 
       illustrations created by award-winning Ashby Design, 
       paired with the reliable authority and comprehensiveness 
       that National Geographic's world history books always 
       offer, this is a one-of-a-kind trip to the future and back
       through all time all in one"--|cProvided by publisher.
