E-Book Overview
To mark the 100th anniversary of Linus Pauling's birth in February 2001, two experts on his life and legacy have created this remarkable volume. Included is a wide variety of original material by Pauling - much of it never before published - as well as contributions from his contemporaries and students, and dozens of illustrations selected from the official Pauling Papers, including photographs, drawings, and reproductions of original manuscripts and typescripts. The resulting volume forms a mosaic portrait of a phenomenal man and his singular achievements.
