      abstract = {The ten most fascinating experiments in the history of  science--moments when a curious soul posed a particularly  eloquent question to nature and received a crisp,  unambiguous reply. Johnson takes us to those times when the  world seemed filled with mysterious forces, when scientists  were dazzled by light, by electricity, and by the beating  of the hearts they laid bare on the dissecting table. For  all of them, diligence was rewarded. In an instant,  confusion was swept aside and something new about nature  leaped into view. In bringing us these stories, Johnson  restores some of the romance to science, reminding us of  the existential excitement of a single soul staring down  the unknown.--From publisher description.},
