Candid Science V: Conversations with Famous Scientists contains 36
interviews with well-known scientists, including 19 Nobel
laureates, Wolf Prize winners, and other luminaries. These in-depth
conversations provide a glimpse into the greatest achievements in
science during the past few decades, featuring stories of the
discoveries, and showing the human drama behind them. The greatest
scientists are brought into close human proximity as if readers
were having a conversation with them. This volume departs from the
previous ones in that it contains interviews with mathematicians in
addition to physicists, chemists, and biomedical scientists.
Another peculiarity of this volume is that it includes nine
interviews from another project, the collection of the late
Clarence Larson, former Commissioner of the Atomic Energy
Commission and his wife, Jane ("Larson Tapes"). The 36 interviewees
include famous personalities of our time, such as Donald Coxeter,
John Conway, Roger Penrose, Alan Mackay, Dan Shechtman, Charles
Townes, Arthur Schawlow, Leon Cooper, Alexei Abrikosov, Luis
Alvarez, William Pickering, William Fowler, Vera Rubin, Neta
Bahcall, Rudolf Peierls, Emilio Segre, Harold Agnew, Clarence
Larson, Nelson Leonard, Princess Chulabhorn, Linus Pauling, Miklos
Bodanszky, Melvin Calvin, Donald Huffman Alan MacDiarmid, Alan
Heeger, Jens Christian Skou, Paul Lauterbur, Gunther Stent, John
Sulston, Renato Dulbecco, Baruch Blumberg, Arvid Carlsson, Oleh
Hornykiewicz, Paul Greengard, and Eric Kandel.
