There was a time when curiosity was condemned. Today curiosity is no longer reviled, but celebrated. Examining how our inquisitive impulse first became sanctioned, changing from a vice to a virtue, this book begins with the age when modern science began, a time that spans the lives of Galileo and Isaac Newton.
