Science in Londona guide to memorials /[electronic resource] :by Istvan Hargittai, Magdolna Hargittai. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2021. - xvi, 281 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Foreword -- Preface -- Chapter 1: Why London is Special -- Chapter 2 Explorers -- Chapter 3 Scientists: Physicists, Chemists, Naturalists -- Chapter 4 Medicine -- Chapter 5 Inventors and Technologists -- Subject Index -- Name Index -- Index of Artists and Architects.

This book introduces the reader to the statues, busts, and memorial plaques of scientists, explorers, medicine men and women, and inventors found in the bustling capital of the United Kingdom, London. The former capital of the British Empire, London remains a world center of trade, navigation, finance and many more. It is also a hub of science, the seat of the Royal Society, Royal Institution, Science Museum, British Museum, Natural History Museum, and of great institutions of higher education. The historical figures depicted in these memorials are responsible for creating great institutions, milestone discoveries, contributions to the scientific and technological revolutions, fighting against epidemics, advancing medicine, and contributing to the progress seen during the past four hundred years. This is a guidebook for the visitor and the Londoner alike. It presents memorials that everybody is familiar with and others that the authors discovered during their years of painstaking research. The 750 images and the text, interlarded with anecdotes, is both informative and entertaining.
