Bourgeois crafts an engaging study that draws on her involvement with the Institute and on related archives, interviews, and informal conversations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume discusses the people who founded the Institute and built a home for renowned research--leading scientists of the time as well as non-scientists of stature in finance, politics, philanthropy, publishing, and the humanities. The events that brought people together, the historic backdrop in which they worked, their personalities, their courage and their visions, their clash of egos and their personal vanities are woven together in a rich, engaging narrative about the founding of a world-premier research institution. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzanne Bourgeois\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520276078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520276079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2014","brand":"Suzanne Bourgeois","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056219713791,"sku":"9780520276079","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_237da650-bcf5-4d49-ae3e-875ca44e93c4.jpg?v=1685040157","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/genesis-of-the-salk-institute-suzanne-bourgeois-9780520276079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
