From the reviews:EMS NEWSLETTER"fascinating and well written"THE BULLETIN OF MATHEMATICS BOOKS"Originally published to great acclaim, both books explore the dramatic scientific history expressed in the lives of these two great scientists and described in the lively, nontechnical writing style of Constance Reid."
"a story of great mathematicians and their achievements, of practical successes and failures, and of human perfidy and generositythis is one of the still too rare occasions in which mathematicians are shown as frail, flesh-and-blood creaturesa very worthwhile book." -CHOICE
Constance Reid has been called "the foremost mathematical biographer of our time." Her many books include From Zero to Infinity, A Long Way from Euclid, The Search for E.T. Bell, and Neyman, from Life.
