Recenzii
“A lot of thought about what science is, and experience about what the scientific life involves, has gone into this book by John Helliwell. In fact John has become a figure head for his work in physics and chemistry and also delving into biology. His book is within the Global Science Education Book Series and which, close to my heart, is the important science education role that the Catalyst Science Discovery Centre and Museum in Widnes has and where I am the Chair of Trustees of the Charitable Trust that manages it. I warmly welcome this new book, not least in which John highlights enzyme catalysis and the International Year of the Periodic Table 2019, it even includes a photograph of Mendeleev’s visit to Manchester.”

"Helliwell endeavours to offer an intimate window into the world of the scientist. As an introduction and guide to best practices, challenges, and the future of the next generation scientist, this book achieves its most important goal: it is useful and interesting. It engages, resonates and manages to enchant. And it is well able to appeal to the broad readership identified by the author: scientific colleagues, an interested public, and schoolchildren (p.xii). This book and the earlier volumes in this trilogy represent an apt and invaluable legacy for an educator, mentor and champion of next generation science par excellence."

Descriere
The book describes why we undertake science and discovery in various forms, and it explores the limits of discovery faced jointly by scientists and society in general. The author offers case studies and illustrates how researchers collaborate to tackle science challenges of a larger scope as well as educate future science students.
