Features: This book introduces the lives and achievements of more than 40 scientists, from ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle to modern physicist Stephen Hawking, as well as the resumes of more than 300 related scientists. It encompasses thousands of years of hard work and significant contributions by outstanding individuals to the development of science and technology and the progress of human society. Without their endeavors and accomplishments, it can be said that humanity would not have reached the level of civilization and development it enjoys today. The advancement of science and technology is inseparable from the efforts of the scientific community and individual scientists, but it is also closely tied to social, economic, and cultural contexts. One of the features of this book is its presentation of the development of science and technology as an integral whole with social, economic, and cultural backgrounds. Another feature is its focus on explaining the laws of scientific and technological development and the scientific thinking and methods of scientists engaged in research. The third feature is the emphasis on both the individual contributions of scientists and the continuity of scientific and technological development, as well as the contributions of other scientists.
