Internationally acclaimed mathematician Marcus du Sautoy illustrates that, far from being a reluctant visual medium, science is actually at the forefront of many of the world's most iconic and revolutionary designs. Creatively navigating his way through numerous diagrams, graphs and sketches, from Newton's Prism and Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man to Watson and Crick's extraordinary diagram of the Double Helix, he shows how they defined and shaped complex scientific theories, and came to be accepted as astonishing images in their own right.

In What is Out There?, Michael Mosley embarks on an informative and ambitious journey exploring how the evolution of scientific understanding is intimately interwoven with society's historical path. Michael begins with the story of one of the great upheavals in human history - how we came to understand that our planet was not at the centre of everything in the cosmos, but just one of billions of bodies in a vast and expanding universe. He reveals the critical role of medieval astrologers in changing our view of the heavens, and the surprising connections to the upheavals of the Renaissance, the growth of coffee shops and Californian oil and railway barons. Michael shows how important the practical skills of craftsmen have been to this story and finds out how Galileo made his telescope to peer at the heavens and by doing so helped change our view of the universe forever. What is Out There? is part of the BBC series, History of Science, exploring the links between history and science and how they have influenced one another.

Celebrated as the greatest scientific genius of all time, Isaac Newton is said to have rewritten the laws of nature after watching the legendary apple falling from a tree in his garden. Yet even though he was driven by rational thinking, experiments and observation, the man who laid the foundations of modern science had a darker side.He was both hermit and tyrant, driven by an obsession to go beyond what we now call science to delve into the occult. This compelling biography sets out to discover what made Newton tick; it reveals his hot-headedness and his ego, as well as his deeply-held religion and his illegal practice of alchemy. Drawing on rarely seen documents, interviews with leading scientists and dramatisations of Newton and his contemporaries speaking in their own words, we get to grips with the real man behind the myth, the magician behind the scientist and bring to life the true genius himself.

A landscape filled with mountains, the stars in the night sky or the face of a loved one... everything you see is the result of light. But for our familiar world to exist, more than 95% of the universe has to be dark – dark matter we can't see and dark energy we can barely comprehend. In this thought-provoking series, Professor Jim Al-Khalili explores the paradox that lies at the heart of physics. By manipulating light, great scientists like Galileo and Newton have uncovered virtually everything we know about the Universe. But today's search for what lies hidden in the shadows, the mind-bending quest to discover dark matter and dark energy threatens to overturn our understanding of the cosmos forever. Light and Dark is the story of everything we know and everything we don't know about the Universe.
