About the Original Book:

From Kepler in the sixteenth century to Carson in the twentieth, Popova’s narrative attempts to seamlessly weave together the personal lives of a cast of characters who would indelibly change society with their work. The overall journey is one from the beginnings of the Enlightenment to spiritual transcendentalism and feminism in the nineteenth century, finally leading to the environmentalist movement of the twentieth.
