Editorial Reviews

An anecdotal potpourri of scientific thought and the people who shaped it. Lacks an index and bibliography though the CIP note indicates both are present. Never mind. The book is composed of essays, and is witty and thought-provoking. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
