Written by 1991 Nobel laureate Pierre Gilles de Gennes, this fascinating book addresses topics ranging from soft-matter physics to the activities of science: the role of individual or team work, the relation of discovery to correction, and the interplay of conscience and knowledge.
Reading this book can be compared to strolling through a magnificent garden of fragile objects…I highly recommend it to any reader who is interested in condensed matter physics and science at large. -PHYSICS TODAY
