De Aristóteles a Isaac Newton, Nobel de Física conta a história da ciência de forma leve e acessível.Nesta história envolvente e reveladora, Steven Weinberg, vencedor do Nobel de Física em 1979, guia o leitor através dos séculos da história da ciência, da Grécia Antiga à Bagdá Medieval, da Academia de Platão à Royal Society. Aristóteles, Descartes, Kepler, Copérnico, Galileu e Isaac Newton são alguns dos protagonistas deste enredo armado com leveza e humor – sem a menor cerimônia, o autor faz um acerto de contas com as contribuições de cada um deles. Weinberg demonstra de forma magistral como a emergência do moderno método científico é em si uma descoberta. Para explicar o mundo retraça esse processo com fôlego e precisão inéditos – assim como o impacto imensurável dessa busca pelo conhecimento humano.
