Do you think scientists are boring people, eggheads in white coats hunched over their calculations or their microscopes?
You are wrong and this book will prove it to you!
Scientific research is not a long calm river. To achieve their ends, scholars grope, wade, systematically challenge received ideas, often make mistakes… and sometimes start all over again.
Stubborn but imaginative minds, methodical or risk-all, men and women of science have in common a passion for discovery and a certain taste for adventure.
Throughout the pages of this book, get to know these crazy scientists who changed the world.
