AUTHOR
Brian J. Ford
EXCERPT
When first I wrote books on the microscope, I had only one or two historic titles on my own bookshelves. Now I have hundreds. Curiously, it was writing my own books that led me to acquire the others, and they inspire me every day. Their authors have bequeathed to us a wealth of insight, and we can watch our science unfolding as we move from one book to the next.
