Synopsis
This anthology presents the reader with a fascinating view of the whimsical side of science. A unique and historical collection of humorous stories, anecdotes, verse and cartoons touching every science has been meticulously compiled by the author from worldwide sources.
In addition to hours of amusement, this book will provide the reader with glimpses of the intensely human ambitions, frustrations, and elations of scientists as well as the changing attitudes within their sciences. The text is well illustrated and can be read from cover to cover with pleasure or sampled at leisure.
