«Grandes ideas de la ciencia» is Isaac Asimov's popular science essay, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
The book surveys the great hypotheses and discoveries that marked the history of science, using as a thread the contributions of figures such as Thales and Pythagoras in mathematics, Hippocrates in medicine, Linnaeus and Darwin in biology, and Galileo, Russell and Wöhler in astronomy, among others. Through these cases, Asimov explains how scientific knowledge evolved and how each advance drove its field until laying the foundations of modern science.
It belongs to the El libro de bolsillo - Ciencias collection from Alianza Editorial. Translated by Miguel Paredes Larrucea.
