Although I can't say that this book provides particularly fresh insight into the history of science, but there were some parts, such as the criticism of Aristotle, that contained great insights that broke the conventional wisdom and I also agree with the author's argument in general. And most of all, I was really impressed by the way the author created a separate "expert commentary" section to explain important scientific/mathematical contents. This is a way for the general public, students, and scholars alike to enjoy science popularization books.
