Scerri discusses several less-recognized scientists who worked throughout the twentieth century, and shows how their contributions were just as key to scientific development as those of more commonly known figures. These include Anton van den Broek, who helped pioneer the atomic number, and Edward Stoner, who was the first to apply the third quantum number to the understanding the physics of the atom.
