Shoulders of Giants is a narrative history of how mathematics revealed the hidden forces shaping the modern world.
From the geometry of ancient Greece to the emergence of electromagnetic theory, this audiobook follows the thinkers who transformed abstract symbols into practical tools — ideas that eventually carried signals, voices, and energy across continents. Along the way appear vivid portraits of mathematicians and physicists grappling with space, motion, light, and invisible fields, driven as much by obsession and rivalry as by curiosity.
Clear, rigorous, and richly told, Shoulders of Giants is a story not only of equations, but of how human insight accumulated across centuries to reshape technology, communication, and thought itself. Ideal for listeners fascinated by mathematics, physics, engineering, or the deeper story behind the modern world.
