Passion for Discovery

This fascinating book assembles human stories about physicists and mathematicians. Remarkably, these stories cluster around some general themes having to do with the interaction between scientists, and with the impact of historic events - such as the advent of fascism and communication in the twentieth century - on scientists' behavior. Briefly, but lucidly, some of the beautiful science that brought these scientists together in the first place is explained.Freund, Peter is the author of 'Passion for Discovery ', published 2007 under ISBN 9789812706461 and ISBN 9812706461.
