YAOxford Portraits in Science series.
These books profile the lives and work of two men in very different settings: Fermi, celebrated as a brilliant thinker from an early age, and Mendel, whose work gained importance only years after his death. Both accounts place the work of these scientific thinkers in the context of the scientific discoveries of their times. Black-and-white illustrations accompany the texts.
