Editor Barbara Marinacci provides the brief links between and the context to
the extracts in Linus Pauling in His Own Words (Simon & Schuster,
£9.99/$14, ISBN 0 684 81387 4). This is the most accessible guide
yet to the man and his work. From quantum chemistry and molecular biology to his
antinuclear campaigning and controversial ideas about vitamins, the format works
particularly well because Pauling wrote so much—and so clearly—about
himself, science, and life.
