While modern science and technology are studied at different levels in schools, colleges, and universities, the history of them--particularly personalized with scientists who contributed to their development--is frequently not known enough. The present book is aimed at filling a gap between modern knowledge and the history of its progress over time. The book structure is different from many other related textbooks and Internet websites; it is giving more personalized overview of the knowledge progress rather than a scientific description of the achieved progress. The present book does not pretend to associate any scientific discovery or technological invention with any single person, but it gives a broader vision of the progress done by different scientists and engineers.
