{"product_id":"of-one-mind-john-ziman-9781563960659","title":"Of One Mind: The Collectivization of Science","description":"This superb collection by the eminent physicist and critic John Ziman, opens with an album of portraits of scientists--Albert Einstein, Freeman Dyson, Lev Landau, Mark Azbel, Andrei Sakharov. Ziman takes readers into the world of the contemporary scientist, showing how discoveries are made and how claims are tested. He then travels into the minds of scientists as they are drawn into competing directions. Here Ziman exposes the path of discovery, which is strewn with complex human needs, governmental restrictions, the desire for profits, and the exercise of technical virtuosity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Ziman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1563960656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781563960659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Institute of Physics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.44w x 1.17d","brand":"John Ziman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44213230633215,"sku":"9781563960659","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8553d18a-fb93-4212-b2bb-a50754f18cf5.jpg?v=1692112757","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/of-one-mind-john-ziman-9781563960659","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
