Recenzje

An insightful, readable biography of a remarkable scientist, her deep affection for and knowledge of the bacteria that rule our world, and her major contributions to the Nobel Prizes won by her husband and former teacher, which have never been properly acknowledged. This should be read by every woman in big-time research science, technology and medicine, and by those who love them.
