The Fellowship: The Story of a Revolution [John Gribbin]
I will be writing a review for this book. Not until sometime tomorrow, but it will happen. I'm even going to keep the ebook until I write said review, so it might even be a good review (with information and not just random things I remember off the top of my head!). I took some notes, but not enough to write a good review.
Okay, so I lied. No major review. I'm writing the review now, but it isn't going to be as amazing as I was hoping it would be.
This book was more okay than anything else. I thought there was too much focus on the Royal Society. Some reviews have mentioned that that is why the reader choose this book over other books. Those had to be my least favorite chapters. I think part of that is that I just wasn't in a reading mood when I read the first one of them at least.
Overall, though, I'd like to think this book. It was a good continuation of the last book I read, Civilization: The West and the Rest. Which talked about the science of the west compared to Asia. This book explains why the scientific revolution happened mostly in Britain instead of an Asia nation, like China (although some things were already known in China, for example, compasses - although they pointed to the south and not the north but still).
