Beschreibung
The march of science 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. In "Eurekas and Euphorias, " Gratzer captures the human face of discovery as he relates many intriguing tales of scientific adventures spanning over two thousand years.
