Oh, the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling. It's the unraveling and it undoes all the joy that could be. .

Historians of science will have cause to heap praise on this book, but so too will the non-specialists. The author's splendid writing style, at times appropriately Puckish, makes this work an accessible and enjoyable read.
