This book shows that Celsius did a lot more than just invent the Celsius temperature scale. It talks about how scientists worked together in the past and connects that to today’s problems, like climate change. Hembrow explains what life was like during Celsius’ time and shares many of the interesting things he did. The book also shows how arguments and politics got in the way of science. At the end, Hembrow makes a strong point: solving big problems today means working together and sharing ideas, just like scientists did back then.
