A fascinating collection of essays by world-renowned scientist and industrial entrepreneur Carl Djerassi. Offers reflections on such diverse and socially relevant topics as birth control, including the history of the development of the Pill, the more controversial aspects of birth control, and the problems associated with birth control; scientific cooperation and the developing world; the role of women in contemporary society and science; the manner in which research scientists transmit their behavioural characteristics through the mentoring process; and art patronage. Carefully edited and updated, these essays provide a sense of how the author's attitudes and assumptions have changed over time.
