Throughout the 1990s and the 2000s, Istvan, Balazs, and Magdolna
Hargittai conducted hundreds of interviews with leading scientists
in physics, chemistry, materials, and biomedical research. These
interviews appeared in a variety of publications, including
Chemical Intelligencer, Mathematical Intelligencer, and Chemical
Heritage. In four-thousand pages of interviews, the Hargittais had
conversations with over a hundred Nobel laureates, along with many
other top minds and personalities in various scientific fields.
Now, in a single volume, the Hargittais have gathered the best and
most notable moments of these interviews, creating a survey of the
past, present, and future of science, as told by some of the most
influential members of many scientific disciplines. Figures like
James D. Watson, Francis Crick, and Glenn T. Seaborg share their
thoughts in these pages, in a collection that includes 68 Nobel
Laureates. Without exaggeration, their backgrounds come from all
over the globe: scientists from the United States, the United
Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Russia, Sweden,
Switzerland, and Taiwan are featured. These interviews discuss many
of the most prominent debates and issues in today's scientific
climate. Great Minds is a synthesis of scientific thought, as told
by some of the most notable scientists of the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries.
