Reviews
Review on Amazon:
Wonderful!
This book was above all a comfortable read and very entertaining. As a bonus, for me it had a somewhat inspiring side effect, too.
I usually like reading popular science, but this was one of the finer books in the category. It doesn't really give you deeper insights into the science, however, and looks more on the lives of scientists combined with the science and how it is achieved, and the future of the scientific development. I very much liked it!

Review

"…this wonderfully accessible book brings to life today's most intriguing scientific discoveries, debates and personalities." (Focus, Number 154, 2005)
"…wonderful resource…in a library with a shelf for scientists as personalities, this volume merits a place." (Journal Of College Science Teaching, June 2006)
