Synopsis "El Canon Científico (in Spanish)"

¿Existe un "canon científico", una lista de los libros y personajes básicos, esenciales, en la historia de la ciencia , de obras y autores que mantienen su vigencia a pesar del paso del tiempo y que todos deberíamos conocer si pretendemos considerarnos "educados"? El profesor José Manuel Sánchez Ron, distinguido historiador de la ciencia y académico, responde a esta cuestión proponiéndonos, por primera vez, una "canon científico" de textos con los que todos ?jóvenes y adultos, profesionales de la ciencia y de la tecnología o legos en estas materias- deberíamos estar familiarizados. En este volumen, que abre la colección CLÁSICOS DE LA CIENCIA Y LA TECNOLOGÍA, los lectores encontrarán ese canon, pero también podrán acceder a la esencia de la historia de la ciencia; esto es, del desarrollo científico que ha hecho posible que seamos lo que somos y vivamos como vivimos.
