Biographic Memoirs: Volume 76 contains the biographies of deceased members of the National Academy of Sciences and bibliographies of their published works. Each biographical essay was written by a member of the Academy familiar with the professional career of the deceased. For historical and bibliographical purposes, these volumes are worth returning to time and again.Table of Contents Front Matter Samuel King Allison Kenneth Tompkins Bainbridge Valentine Bargmann Robert W.
