Beschreibung
The march of science has been marked through the years by episodes of drama and comedy, of failure as well as triumph, by outrageous strokes of luck, deserved and undeserved, and sometimes by human tragedy. From the death of Archimedes at the hands of an irritated Roman soldier to the concoction of a superconducting wit hes' brew at the very close of the twentieth centure, the stories in "Eurekas and Euphorias pour out, told with wit and relish by Walter Gratzer.
