By John Gribbin, Mary Gribbin. 2017
What if Newton had never lived? Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley, whose place in history has been overshadowed by the…
giant figure of Newton, were pioneering scientists within their own right, and instrumental in establishing the Royal Society. Although Newton is widely regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time and the father of the English scientific revolution, the authors uncover the fascinating story of Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley, whose scientific achievements neatly embrace the hundred years or so during which science as we know it became established. They argue persuasively that, even without Newton, science would have made a great leap forward in the second half of the seventeenth century, headed by two extraordinary figures, Hooke and Halley. 2017.Our robots, ourselves: robotics and the myths of autonomy

for the crucial role of humans in our increasingly technological future. Offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the cutting edge of robotics today, debunking commonly held myths and exploring the rapidly changing relationships between humans and machines. Drawing on firsthand experience, extensive interviews, and the latest research from MIT and elsewhere, Mindell takes us to extreme environments -- high atmosphere, deep ocean, and outer space -- to reveal where the most advanced robotics already exist, and argues that the stark lines we've drawn between human and not human, manual and automated, aren't helpful for understanding our relationship with robotics. 2015.Our violent earth (Books For World Explorers Series 3 #No. 2)
