Настоящая история науки представляет собой отнюдь не триумфальное шествие. На этом пути встречаются бесчисленные ответвления, боковые пути и даже тупики. К тому же те, кто движет науку вперед, ученые, руководствуются не только стремлением открыть вечные истины. Будучи прежде всего людьми, они бывают обуреваемы страстями, заблуждаются, ревнуют к успеху коллег.

В книге Великие противостояния в науке рассказывается о десяти самых захватывающих диспутах в ее истории: это и процесс над Галилеем, инициированный Папой Урбаном VIII, и непримиримая полемика между великим английским математиком Джоном Валлисом и не менее великим философом Томасом Гоббсом, и всколыхнувшая весь научный мир вражда Ньютона и Лейбница, и многое, многое другое.

Написанная в увлекательной манере но при этом очень содержательная, книга будет интересна широкому кругу читателей.
