I Died for Beauty: Dorothy Wrinch and the Cultures of Science Hardcover – 3 Dec 2012

Description

Review It is tremendous that Senechal has excavated this story. She offers a gripping portrait of an era and of a scientist whose complications acquire a tragic glamour. It is a cautionary tale for which we must supply the moral ourselves. (Philip Ball, Nature) About the Author Marjorie Senechal is the Louise Wolff Kahn Professor Emerita in Mathematics and History of Science and Technology, Smith College, and Co-Editor of The Mathematical Intelligencer
