The Oxford Illustrated History of Science

Science is a universal and global endeavour with developments shared and interpreted among cultures, across language and throughout history.
Witness the story of science in both East and West from antiquity to the Enlightenment that effortlessly translates the work of ancient Mediterranean, Chinese, Islamic and Christian scholars.
This event will explore why understanding the history of science as a human endeavour matters so much to the way we live and think in the modern world.

Iwan Rhys Morus is Professor of History at Aberystwyth University working on the project Unsettling Scientific Stories: Expertise, Narrative and Future Histories. He has drawn on collaborators from across the globe to produce the first ever fully illustrated global history of science, from Aristotle to the atom bomb – and beyond.
