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.
