About the Author
Thomas A. Bass, who holds advanced degrees from the University of Chicago and the University of California at Santa Cruz, is the author of The Eudaemonic Pie and Camping with the Prince and Other Tales of Science in Africa. He lives in upstate New York with his wife and three children.
From Library Journal
Bass ( The Eudaemonic Pie , LJ 5/1/84; Camping with the Prince and other Tales of Science in Africa , LJ 2/1/90) interviewed 11 scientists from different fields to reveal their respective inspirations, motivations, and aspirations. The subtitle describing them as the world's leading scientists is arguable, but there is no doubt that the subjects are renowned in their respective fields. The interviewees include Luc Montagnier, discoverer of the AIDS virus; Etienne-Emile Baulieu, a biochemist and physician who helped develop RU-486, the "abortion pill"; Mary-Claire King, a geneticist who isolated the gene responsible for inherited breast cancer; and Bert Sakmann, a co-winner of the Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology in 1992. The individual chapters provide insight into the ideas and accomplishments of each researcher, but the book as a whole lacks a focal point. For larger science collections.
