John Dalton bol anglický chemik a fyzik, ktorý sa preslávil svojou priekopníckou prácou v oblasti modernej atómovej teórie. Jeho výskum farieb bol taký vplyvný, že sa pre farbosleposť ustálil termín „daltonizmus“. Hoci sa jeho práca primárne týkala vedy, značné množstvo budov, ulíc a dokonca aj vedeckých jednotiek odkazuje na jeho meno, čo podčiarkuje jeho trvalý vplyv na vedecký svet aj mimo neho.
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.
