About this product
Product Information
A sickly child, a poor student, and a medical school dropout, Léon Foucault seemed an unlikely candidate for greatness. But his ingenious experiment--simple, beautiful, and stunningly original--changed how we see the world. Scientists knew that the earth turned on its axis. But how could they prove it? Countless experiments had been tried . . . and had failed. Then, one historic day in Paris, Léon Foucault gave a magnificent demonstration that offered the proof everyone had been looking for. Discover the improbable story of the man behind the famous Foucault's Pendulum. From the Hardcover edition.
