Science has many branches like Astronomy, GeoScience, Embryology, Genetics, Microbiology, Optics and Clinical trials, to name a few. But, have you ever wondered how these branches developed into independent fields?

This book covers some of the elegantly simple, few first path setting experiments of Science, all carried out, not in sophisticated laboratories, but in barns, boats and backyards. Enjoy the startling simplicity of Science in this book.
