von Pierre-Gilles de Gennes und Jacques Badoz, aus dem Französischen übersetzt von Axel ReisingerWritten by 1991 Nobel laureate Pierre Gilles de Gennes, this fascinating book addresses topics ranging from soft-matter physics to the activities of science: the role of individual or team work, the relation of discovery to correction, and the interplay of conscience and knowledge.
