This book offers an insight into the world of scientific research and discovery. Andrew Scott has brought together some of the world's finest scientists and given them an opportunity to communicate with a general audience directly, for each to explain what aspect of scientific enquiry they are grappling with, and what fruits their work may yield in the future. The contributors explore and explain dramatic developments from the whole range of modern science including revolutionary surgical techniques, the search for alternative energy, theories about the origin of the universe and the quest for an answer to what is perhaps the ultimate question, "are we alone in the universe"? For scientists interested in keeping abreast with advances in other disciplines and for anybody concerned with attempts to push back the barriers of knowledge this book will be interesting reading.
