The reader will find fifteen essays on some of the key histories and personalities of Science in the 20th century from physics, chemistry, biology, linguistics and related fields. Many readers will recognize some of the essays from The New Yorker, Scientific American, or The Atlantic Monthly and will be delighted to find lots of a new materialmany of the essays have had postscripts added or been retouched to bring us up-to-date on the subject. All of the essays are at once engaging and fun. Collected into one volume for the first time, the essays are combined with new material, sometimes in the form of postscripts, through retouching to update the subject since he wrote it, or in the form prescripts which give insight as to why the articles were written in the first place. The pieces in this collection include profiles of Niels Bohr, Marie Curie, Linus Pauling, the linguist Hans Eberstark, and Julian Schwinger; essays on thought experiments, Einstein's scientific legacy, the early debate on black holes, and the cold fusion controversy; and some humorous short fiction. Anyone interested in the great ideas of the 20th century will thoroughly enjoy this book. Dostupné zdroje
