Book Favorite

"This 1988 book about the discoveries of 20th-century physics delights me so much that I keep several copies—a hardback for my library, a paperback for traveling, and an extra copy or two to press on friends. Pais, a physicist himself, was in a unique position to portray the whole landscape of modern physics in its most exciting century."

""A winner of the Nobel Prize for medicine, Peter Medawar is also the foremost scientific essayist of the 20th century, with the sort of wit that makes you want to seize his book and rush out into the street to show somebody — anybody.""
