Praise for Hal Hellman Great Feuds in Mathematics "Those who think that mathematicians are cold, mechanical proving machines will do well to read Hellman's book on conflicts in mathematics. The main characters are as excitable and touchy as the next man. But Hellman's stories also show how scientific fights bring out sharper formulations and better arguments."-Professor Dirk van Dalen, Philosophy Department, Utrecht University

I was excited by this book and enthusiastically recommend it to general as well as scientific audiences."-American Scientist "Hellman has assembled a series of entertaining tales . . . many fine examples of heady invective without parallel in our time."-NatureGreat Feuds in Medicine "This engaging book documents [the] reactions in ten of the most heated controversies and rivalries in medical history. . . .
