This book is about the work of 10 great scientists; who they were
and are, their personal background and how they achieved their
outstanding results and took their prominent place in science
history. We follow one of physics and science history's most
enigmatic phenomena, superconductivity, through 100 years, from its
discovery in 1911 to the present, not as a history book in the
usual sense, but through close ups of the leading characters and
their role in that story, the Nobel laureates, who were still among
us in the years 2001-2004 when the main round of interviews was
carried out. Since then two of them already passed away. For each
one of the 10 laureates, the author tells their story by direct
quotation from interviews in their own words. Each chapter treats
one laureate. The author first gives a brief account of the
laureates' scientific background and main contribution. Then each
laureate tells his own story in his own words. This book is unique
in its approach to science history.
