There are still many people who think that science is too far away from them, but is it really so?

The Age of Science: The Key Technologies that will Lead the Future tells us that our daily lives are closely related to the development of science.

The Age of Science: Key Technologies Leading the Future is a history of science, but it is not a simple list of scientific achievements, but tells the complete development of modern science and interprets the connotation of modern science. Unlike other general histories of science, it focuses its attention on the "highlight" era in the history of science - the 20th century.

Because the development of science has never been as significant as the 20th century: mankind successfully landed on the moon, Einstein proposed the theory of relativity, penicillin and other antibiotics and nuclear medicine into clinical application, the world's first cloned sheep was born... The scientific achievements of the 20th century have laid the scientific foundation for today's and tomorrow's world.

The emergence of these science and technology not only directly changes people's living conditions, but also profoundly affects people's ideas and ways of thinking, and determines the future development direction of science.

The book is divided into five chapters, corresponding to space exploration, nuclear energy development, chemical application, life science and communication, and showcases the outstanding achievements of astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines.

Between the lines, the scientific development of the 20th century is clearly presented in front of us.

We can learn about the important scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century, and we can intuitively feel the changes in human life.

For example, with the advent of radio, film, telephone, television and computer, the distance between people has suddenly shortened, and the whole earth has become a "global village".

In 1901, Italian engineer Guglielmo Marconi made the first ever wireless transmission across the Atlantic Ocean in England.

In 1920, the first radio programs appeared.

Radio has gradually become the main channel for people to get information.

With the invention of the picture tube, television came out successfully and became one of the most concerned inventions of the 20th century.

The birth of computer and Internet technology has brought people a new way of information exchange, realized the sharing of information resources, and made the transmission of information break through the restrictions of time and space.

Nowadays, science and technology are developing at an unprecedented speed, and various scientific products have penetrated into all aspects of human life, and the development of human society is inseparable from science.

We live in such a scientific age and need to keep pace with the development of modern science. This book can help us understand the complex modern science.

The Age of Science: The Key Technologies That Will Lead the Future contains a wealth of historical and scientific images and schematics that give us a visual view of the scientific achievements of the 20th century.

The book was translated by a professional translator from Peking University, and the knowledge points in the book were verified in detail, which is an important reference for us to understand the connotation of current science and technology, as well as the future direction of scientific development.
