In 1769, inspired by the scientific ferment in Britain, botanist Joseph Banks set sail in search of new worlds, landing in Tahiti. Other voyages of discovery follow in this exciting account of the second scientific revolution. Through the lives of William Herschel and his sister, who changed the public conception of the solar system; Humphry Davy, whose gas experiments revolutionized chemistry, and the great Romantic writers, from Mary Shelly to Keats, who were inspired by scientific breakthroughs of their day, Holmes brings to life the era in which we first realized the incredible possibilities of science.
