Science and the Written Word is a collection of interviews featuring some of the world's greatest scientists and Nobel Prize winners, which cut across math, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and medicine. Though each interview is complete and independent, as a whole, the chapters strive to imbue the reader with an appreciation of the science that is integral to our lives in the modern world.
