Title: close but no cigar
Product review: This is a nice book which states without any proof or justification a fair number of conclusions. I bought it expecting something on the order William Dunham's excellent book, Journey Through Genius. In JTG, Dunham gives not only the tenor of the times and the theorems, but also derivations and proofs. Bottom line: if you want to see the whole thing, this doesn't have it. If you want just a cursory overview of who and what was going on at the time, this might be for you.
