Book cover is white with photographs of 3 scientists, 2 white men (Richard Feynman, Albert Einstein) and a white woman (unnamed on cover). The cover also shows images of diagrams, viruses, dna strands, a close-up of the periodic table, and an atom.
Pages 8-9 show the Introduction with paragraphs of text and two images. One image is of a eclipse in 1919, the other is of Louis Pasteur's laboratory equipment on display at the Musee Pasteur in Paris.
Page 84 shows text about John Dalton (a white man), the years he lived (1766-1844), and what he discovered (atomic theory). On page 85 are a photo of his 1808 book A New System of Chemical Philosophy, open to a page with diagrams on the elements, and a portrait below this of John Dalton.
Page 96 shows an ultrasound image of a heart using the 'doppler mode', and a photo of a train on a track in Austria. Page 97 shows a photo of Christian Doppler (a white man), alongside the dates he lived (1803-1853), what he discovered (the Doppler Effect) and a page of text.
Page 154 shows text about Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (a white woman), the dates she lived (1900-1979), what she discovered (the composition of the sun), and a black and white photo of Harvard Observatory in the 1920s. On page 155 is a black and white image of Cecilia looking at the camera while sat at a desk. Underneath this photo is a colour NASA photo of the sun showing solar flares.
