Publisher's Note An intriguing and extraordinarily important book about creativity in science. Root-Bernstein reveals the discovery process in action, not merely a look at what scientists do but to get inside their minds to find out how.
Industry Reviews Root-Bernstein (natural science and physiology, Michigan State) attempts to understand how scientists invent through an imaginary reconstruction of the arguments, reflections, and games of six fictional characters. The index is of names only. The bibliography is extensive but would be more useful to general readers if it were classified or annotated. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
