The Age of Wonder is a colorful and utterly absorbing history of the men and women whose discoveries and inventions at the end of the eighteenth century gave birth to the Romantic Age of Science.  When young Joseph Banks stepped onto a Tahitian beach in 1769, he hoped to discover Paradise. Inspired by the scientific ferment sweeping through Britain, the botanist had sailed with Captain Cook in search of new worlds. Other voyages of discovery—astronomical, chemical, poetical, philosophical—swiftly follow in Richard Holmes's thrilling evocation of the second scientific revolution. Through the lives of William Herschel and his sister Caroline, who forever changed the public conception of the solar system; of Humphry Davy, whose near-suicidal gas experiments revolutionized chemistry; and of the great Romantic writers, from Mary Shelley to Coleridge and Keats, who were inspired by the scientific breakthroughs of their day, Holmes brings to life the era in which we first realized both the awe-inspiring and the frightening possibilities of science—an era whose consequences are with us still.BONUS MATERIAL: This ebook edition includes an excerpt from Richard Holmes's Falling Upwards.

I fail to understand how some people are able to give this book a bad rating because it's "too academic" or has "too many details." This is truly one of the most enjoyable books I've read in quite some time. Yes, it's a commitment, but it's well worth it. This book is a gold mine for anyone who has a general interest in the Romantic period, history, science or literature. Holmes is a fantastic writer who takes complex subjects and breaks them into parts that are easily understood by anyone willing to take the time to read them. This isn't a book you read on the beach and then forget about. This is a book that stimulates interest. It has sent me to my computer several times to look up more information (and books!) about the people and subjects. This book involves more than just moving your eyes across the page. It will excite and challenge you to go off and do more research and will enrich you. However, if that sounds "too intellectual" perhaps you should stick with Dr. Seuss.
