It's a book by John Gribbin. Talks of how a few gutsy scientists brought the age of experimental science into being in Europe. How the natural philosophers challenged the Curch and the heresy fear to turn Europe into the scientific powerhouse it has become today. Galileo went to medical school, instead got interested in mathematics and eventually dropped out of med to teach maths. Interesting trivia like these make it engaging. Still long way to go before i finish it.
