Another book I found interesting. Nicolaus Steno is an interesting character. (He also signed his name as: Nicolai Stenonis, Niels Stensen, etc.)

The book is as interesting for its description of the time (1666 and all that) as for the biographical information.

Its interesting how the course of events can be gently nudged in a new direction by the actions of just one person.
