Author: Peter Medawar
Publisher:
Publication Date: 1999-12-01
Features: Autobiographies by scientists can be difficult to engage. However, when written by a prime figure in the scientific world, a perfectionist, a leading figure, and a celebrity, it becomes entirely different. Medawar is a Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine and an outstanding writer promoting science to the public. This book is both fascinating and thought-provoking.
