Fiction
Santiago Ramon y Cajal was a mythic figure in science.
Hailed as the father of modern anatomy and neurobiology, he
was largely responsible for the modern conception of the
brain. His groundbreaking works were New Ideas on the
Structure of the Nervous System and Histology of the Nervous
System in Man and Vertebrates. In addition to leaving a
legacy of unparalleled scientific research, Cajal sought to
educate the novice scientist about how science was done and
how he thought it should be done. This recently rediscovered
classic, first published in 1897, is an anecdotal guide for
the perplexed new investigator as well as a refreshing
resource for the old pro.Cajal was a pragmatist, aware of
the pitfalls of being too idealistic -- and he had a sense
of humor, particularly evident in his diagnoses of various
stereotypes of eccentric scientists. The book covers
everything from valuable personality traits for an
investigator to social factors conducive to scientific work.
