I have tried my best to collect as many scientists as possible that fallin this category.  \nEntries are not listed in alphabetical order. Each entry contains a short account of major achievements and early life followed by pathetic moments in their lives.  \nAn important aim is to provide unprivileged students with a challenge. I am particularly concerned about science students obtaining low scores in the exams. It has been designed for personal possession as a guide and for consultation in colleges and universities.  \nAll first efforts to develop a genre in a particular direction suffer from the constraints of space and time, and this may have led us to fall short of our selfimposed standards. I became aware in this selection that how fascinating history of scientists’ biography excitingly unveils their values and attitudes.  \nThis book has two chief features; firstly, short biographical sketch and secondly, the tragic moments in one person’s life. However, these two features also prove to be the major limitations of mentioning some important, informative, interesting and scientific achievements in the lives of the scientists.  \nI very much welcome feedback from readers, which will enable to improve its coverage or treatment in future editions.  \nRoss Nazir Ullah  \nCONTENTS  \nNo. Names  \nPage  \n1 Socrates 7  \n2 Archimedes 8  \n3 Albert Einstein 9  \n4 Roger Bacon 10  \n5 Alexander Graham Bell 11  \n6 John Flamsteed 12  \n7 William Harvey 13  \n8 Luigi Galvani 14  \n9 Edward Jenner 15  \n10 Michael Faraday 16  \n11 Sir James Young Simpson 17  \n12 Charles Robert Darwin 18  \n13 Louis Pasteur 19  \n14 Joseph Baron Lister 20  \n15 Joseph Priestley 21  \n16 Alan Turing 22  \n17 Ulugh Beg 23  \n18 Robert Hutchings Goddard 24  \n19 John Dalton 25  \n20 Jonas Edward Salk 26  \n21 Sir Walter Raleigh 27  \n22 George Stephenson 28  \n23 Richard Trevithick 29  \n24 James Hargreaves 30  \n25 Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin 31  \n26 Andreas Vesalius 32  \n27 Count Alessandro Volta 33  \n28 Rudolph Diesel 34  \n29 Diogenes of Sinope 35  \n30 Antoine Laurent Lavoisier 36  \n31 Ross Nazir Ullah 37  \n32 Galileo Galilei 38  \n33 Sir Isaac Newton 40  \n34 Thomas Alva Edison 42  \n35 Benjamin Thomson 44  \n36 Humphry Davy 46  \n37 Dmitri Mendeleyev 48  \n38 Adams Helen Keller 50  \n39 Pierre Simon Laplace 52  \n40 James Robert Oppenheimer 54  \n41 Dr. Harvey Crippen 56  \n42 Gregor Johann Mendel 58  \n7  \nSocrates (469-399 B.C.)  \nSocrates was an ancient Greek philosopher, who profoundly affected Western philosophy through his influence on Plato. Born in Athens. He initiated a question-and-answer method of teaching as a means of achieving self-knowledge. The sacred Oracle in the city of Delphi declared that he was the ‘wisest man in the world’, but Socrates never wrote a book.  \nSocrates studied the Sophists, Ionian philosophers, and the culture of Athens in the time of Pericles. Socrates believed in the superiority of argument over writing.  \nSocrates believed he could serve his country best by devoting himself to teaching and persuading Athenians to engage in self-examination. His logic emphasized rational argument and the quest for general definitions. He believed in a purely objective understanding of justice, love, and virtue.  \nHis life and ideas were recorded by his pupil, the great philosopher Plato, and by the historian Xenophon. He was a soldier in the Peloponnesian War, and afterwards returned to Athens. His theories of virtue and justice have survived through the writings of Plat","cbCaie2gbtHHg884","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie2gbtHHg884","pdf",934705,59,"English","# Preface\n# Contents\n## Biographical entries (selected)\n## Socrates\n## Archimedes","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this book according to the preface?\",\"answer\":\"The book is compiled to provide a challenge for unprivileged science students and to support consultation in colleges and universities, especially for students obtaining low exam scores.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the scientists’ entries structured?\",\"answer\":\"Each entry includes a short account of major achievements and early life, followed by the “pathetic moments” in that scientist’s life.\"},{\"question\":\"Are the entries listed in alphabetical order?\",\"answer\":\"No. The preface states that entries are not listed in alphabetical order.\"}]","GREAT SCIENTISTS - An Incomplete Version - Tragic Moments in Scientists’ Lives | PDF",1790059676,91]
