John Dalton è stato un chimico e fisico inglese, noto per il suo lavoro pionieristico nella teoria atomica moderna. La sua ricerca sulla percezione del colore si rivelò così influente che il termine 'daltonismo' divenne sinonimo di cecità ai colori. Sebbene il suo lavoro fosse principalmente scientifico, un numero significativo di edifici, strade e persino unità scientifiche fanno riferimento al suo nome, sottolineando il suo impatto duraturo sul mondo scientifico e oltre.
The book highlights Dalton's groundbreaking contributions to nineteenth-century science, particularly his revolutionary atomic theory. It explores how his ideas fundamentally transformed the understanding of matter and established the foundation for modern chemistry, emphasizing the significance of his work in shaping scientific thought and practice.
