Today the fruits of science are evident everywhere, but the man responsible for them has remained, in large part, an enigma. Both by tradition and by preference, the scientist tends to be self-effacing. Yet never in history has there been a more urgent need to understand who he is and how he works. This book scrutinizes the scientist as a human being and as a modern legend, as a thinker and a doer, and as a powerful new force in 20th century life.

The world of science is packed with amazing people and discoveries, from ancient times all the way until today. However, something else has always been a part of science.
