Description
Nematology is not only about those lovely Nobel prize winning creatures, nematodes, but also about the people who work with them, the nematologists. Bengt Eriksson, David McNamara and John Webster have cajoled a whole galaxy of story-telling nematologists to reminisce about their loved ones, their nematodes, and to tell us how they got to know them so well. It is all disclosed in "An Anecdotal History of Nematology". It is good nematology, but it's different, and you will be able to read the other side of some of our nematological world's most fascinating discoveries and about their discoverers. The book is addressed to all who love to work on nematodes. It will be of interest also to historians of science and to any zoological library.
