Discover the big ideas in medicine that have transformed the world around us. The Greatest Ideas in Medicine explores the extraordinary ideas that have changed people' s lives - from the first vaccines, through the development of IVF, to ground-breaking cancer therapies and ' intelligent' artificial limbs. From Apollo 11' s historic flight to the wonders of the world wide web, the world has changed beyond recognition in the past hundred years. Think Big takes a close-up look at the amazing ideas that have transformed the way we all live. Each spread explores a big idea in greater depth, explaining how it came to be and what evolved from it and assessing its impact on the world today. ' Genius' panels highlight the great thinkers behind the ideas, from scientists to inventors, environmentalists and engineers. Each book includes carefully selected activities designed to inspire readers aged 9 and older and encourage them to nurture their own ' big thinking' and entrepreneurial spirit.
