Klappentext
Many of the scientific breakthroughs of the twentieth century were first reported in the journal "Nature." "A Century of Nature" brings together in one volume "Nature"'s greatest hits--reproductions of seminal contributions that changed science and the world, accompanied by essays written by leading scientists (including four Nobel laureates) that provide historical context for each article, explain its insights in graceful, accessible prose, and celebrate the serendipity of discovery and the rewards of searching for needles in haystacks.

Zusammenfassung
Offering a firsthand chronicle of some of the most decisive moments in twentieth century science, this volume will interest anyone who wants to relive the thrill (or frustration) of scientific discovery.
