210 x 148 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 193; monochrome illustrations. Fine condition. "Many of South Africa's politicians, sportsmen and women, musicians, actors and actresses, television personalities, businessmen and even criminals, are household names. Very few of our scientists are well-known to the public. This, in… spite of the fact that they include some of the most enterprising and dedicated individuals in the country, that their work is often fascinating and exciting, and that it is of enormous benefit to our country and to science in general. As unofficial ambassadors, they travel around the world, making friends for, and generating goodwill towards, South Africa. They do not deserve to be ignored. This book introduces a mere handful of them. What sort of people are they? What are their backgrounds? Were they bright kids? Why are they interested in science? What motivates them? What are their secrets of success? What sort of work do they do? Is it fulfilling? Is it fun? The answers to these questions lie in their stories.".
