A Passion for Science - Tapa dura

This book comprises of a collection of conversations with Professor Lewis Wolpert, in which scientists from all different fields, ranging from cosmology to psychology, give insights into their lives in the profession. In a series of non-technical accounts, science is revealed as human enterprise with incidents and personal characteristics, such as imagination and style, which have influenced the route to discovery. The conversations are based on a BBC Radio series. The stories told and the different persectives they offer may be of interest to professional scientists and general readers.

About the Editors Lewis Wolpert is Professor of Biology and Head of the Department of Anatomy and Biology as Applied to Medicine at Middlesex Hospital Medical School, and President of the British Society for Cell Biology. Alison Richards is a freelance radio producer.
