Résumé

Leading young scientists, many holding prestigious Royal Society Research Fellowships, describe their research and give their visions of the future.

Re-written in a popular and well-illustrated style, the articles are derived from scholarly and authoritative papers published in a special Millennium Issue of the Royal Society's Philosophical Transactions (used by Newton, this is the world's longest running scientific journal). Carefully selected by the Journal's Editor, Professor .M.T. Thompson FRS, topics include:

studies of atoms and molecules in motion;
new processes, and materials;
Nature's secrets of biological growth and form;
progress in understanding the human body and mind.

The book conveys the excitement and enthusiasm of the young authors for their work in Chemistry and Life Science. Two companion books cover Astronomy and Earth Science, and Physics and Electronics. All are definitive reviews for anyone with a general interest in the future directions of science.

L'auteur - Thomas M. Thompson

Thomas M. Thompson received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis, under Sherman Stein. Before going to Davis, he began his teaching career at Walla Walla College in southeastern Washington State where he subsequently returned and has remained there to the present. His main mathematical interests are in algebra, history, and pedagogy, and for the past eleven years he has team-taught an interdisciplinary honors course combining science, mathematics, and the arts. This latter experience has also allowed him to pursue, without guilt, one of his many hobbies: amateur astronomy. While at Walla Walla College he has received The Thomas and Violet Zapara Excellence in Teaching Award in mathematics and science.
