Title: Proving that the earth moves
Review: Written in an easy to read prose, this book makes a strong case for the importance of Foucault's work to our modern world, both in terms of scientific theory and in terms of applied technology. The author does a good job of explaining the historical context for Foucault's pendulum experiment, showing why it was so revolutionary. But this is more than just the story of a man who provided the definitive proof that the earth revolves on its axis. Foucault was largely self taught, and his story is equally about his struggles to find acceptance within the scientific establishment of his time, in spite of his clear contributions to the body of scientific knowledge. Thus this book also serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of prejudice in any form.
