Quirky Sides of Scientists : True Tales of Ingenuity and Error From Physics and Astronomy
These historical narratives of scientific behavior reveal the often irrational way scientists arrive at and assess their theories. There are stories of Einstein s stubbornness leading him to reject a correct interpretation of an experiment and miss an important deduction from his own theory, and New...
