Delving into the drama of scientific inquiry, Angier captures life inside the lab, opening a rare window into how scientists think, feel, and behave.Originally published in 1988, this edition of Natural Obsessions includes a new introduction by Angier as well as a foreword by the physician, poet, and author Lewis Thomas.
