Convergence

Convergence is a history of modern science revealing how diverse disciplines like physics, chemistry, psychology, biology, genetics, and linguistics have gradually merged into one interconnected story about the universe. Beginning in the 1850s with breakthroughs like energy conservation and Darwin’s theory of evolution, Peter Watson traces the major scientific advances decade by decade, showing how these discoveries propelled science forward and uncovered unexpected links, unfolding like a cosmic detective story or the world’s greatest code-breaking effort.
