Here's the real story behind magnetic imaging
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
O.K. you want to know how real science is done by real scientists: This is the book to read. Raymond was cut out of the Nobel Prize for NMR for reasons that have to do with his abbrasive personality and not for any other reason. President Nixon gave Ray the funds he needed to get the technique off the ground despite the turn downs by NIH and the scientific establishment and the rest, as they say, is history. Incidentally, Damadian is recognized as the inventor of NMR by the US patent office and also received the National Medal of Science for the discovery. Another authentic histories of real scientists doing real science are the Double Helix and Quia Imperfectum - both amazing stories, the first about the discovery of the structure of DNA and the second about the discovery of L-DOPA for Parkinsonism.
