520			_a"What does a scientist do? How does one become a scientist? Why is science important? This book offers an introduction to scientific enterprise that highlights both the rewards and tribulations of modern scientific endeavors. In offering practical advice on how to secure a job, to publish, and to win major prizes, the book points the way to vast, unexplored research areas that await the adventurous. The book also offers speculations on the momentous discoveries that will transform our lives in the future. Written in a fresh and entertaining style, To Be a Scientist shows how some of mankind's great problems--the strains of population, environmental pollution, disease, starvation--can be alleviated by combining unconstrained scientific creativity with technical ingenuity. In addition to students (and potential students) of science, practicing scientists, and policy makers, this book will be welcomed by general readers interested in the ongoing debate concerning the value of the scientific enterprise in modern society."
