This book begins in the Islamic Golden Age as scholars ask questions about life science and medicine that establish those fields, charting a path that accelerates during the Renaissance, when Leonardo da Vinci dissects cadavers to learn human anatomy firsthand. This volume spans hundreds of years of scientific innovation following the history of life science to the late 1800s, when a baffled Dutch biologist finds a tiny infectious particle destroying tobacco crops and gives it a new name: virus.
