From the Back Cover

" . . .an enthralling work! Dip into it and you're hypnotized. Dictionary of Scientists is compendious and inspiring."
--New Scientist

"It strikes the right balance between scientific fact and human interest . . .the entries not only inform the reader of the scientific achievement of the individual but also provide personal background. This is a very well-presented volume and one that I can highly recommend."
