Negative Positive
Title: Gets both the science and the personalities right
Review: I picked up this book based on Ted Anton's reputation, but concerned that it might be one of those "great people in science" type books that are foisted on junior high students as Bar Mitzvah presents. I needn't have worried. Anton makes the personal details vivid (cold winter hours in the observatory, the struggles to write computer code) but spends equal time making sure we understand the science involved. I just wish there were an update so I could find out how these discoveries have held up.
Is the review positive or negative?
