Francis Crick (1916~2004)：What Mad Pursuit ...The Francis Crick Institute

2008

What Mad Pursuit: A Personal View of Scientific Discovery by Francis Crick (Author) "I WAS BORN IN 1916, in the middle of the First World War..." (more) Publisher: Basic Books (July 9, 1990) 這本書我讀過，不過書已封箱。

Ode On A Grecian Urn

What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?
What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?
