Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: Good. 5th or later printing. A collection of stories, revealing the human face of science. It encompasses some 200 anecdotes illustrating scientists in all their shapes: the obsessive and the dilettantish, the genial, the envious, the preternaturally brilliant and the slow-witted who sometimes see further in the end, recluses, and arrivistes. The march of science has never proceeded smoothly. It has been marked through the years by episodes of drama and comedy, of failure as well as triumph, by outrageous strokes of luck, deserved and undeserved, and sometimes by human tragedy. It has seen deep intellectual friendships, as well as ferocious animosities, and once in a while acts of theft and malice, deceit, and even a hoax or two. Scientists come in all shapes: the obsessive and the dilettantish, the genial, the envious, the preternaturally brilliant and the slow-witted who sometimes see further in the end, the open-minded and the intolerant, recluses and arrivistes. From the death of Archimedes at the hands of an irritated Roman soldier to the concoction of a superconducting witches' brew at the very close of the twentieth century, the stories in Eurekas and Euphorias pour out, told with wit and relish by Walter Gratzer. Open this book at random and you may chance on the clumsy chemist who breaks a thermometer in a reaction vat and finds mercury to be the catalyst that starts the modern dyestuff industry; or a famous physicist dissolving his gold Nobel Prize medal in acid to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Nazis, recovering it when the war ends; mathematicians and physicists diverting themselves in prison cells, and even in a madhouse, by creating startling advances in their subject. We witness the careers, sometimes tragic, sometimes carefree, of the great women mathematicians, from Hypatia of Alexandria to Sophie Germain in France and Sonia Kovalevskaya in Russia and Sweden, and then Marie Curie's relentless battle with the French Academy. Here, then, a glorious parade unfolds to delight the reader, with stories to astonish, to instruct, and most especially, to entertain.; Glad voor en achterplat. Rechte rug, zonder leesvouwtjes. Rand van de omslag heeft enkele (kleine) beschadigingen. Net boekblok, maar heeft wel beginnende leeftijdseigen vergeling.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: Fine. First Paperback Edition. **Bundle Up & Save On Postage** A very nice copy without flaw. 8 X 10.5" 266 pages. Foreword by Stephen Jay Gould. Illustrated. Since 1869, the science publication 'Nature' has showcased, exalted, even guided the progress of science, serving as a forum for groundbreaking research, social commentary, and the occasional offbeat anecdote. H.G.Wells once remarked that no English speaking scientist could go a week without reading it. This book is a chronological smörgåsbord of brief annotated excerpts from the magazine's Victorian beginnings through to the 1953 publication of James Watson and Francis Crick's paper on the structure of DNA.
