The Road to Scientific Success: Inspiring Life Stories of Prominent Researchers - Vol 3 The Road to Scientific Success Inspiring Life Stories of Prominent Researchers Volume 3 edited by Deborah D L Chung (University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA) The book is unique in its emphasis on the road to scientific success rather than the science itself. Scientists communicate much on their science through research publications, but they tend to talk much less, if at all, on the challenges encountered on the road to success. Information on the road to scientific success is helpful to people that are considering embarking on the journey on this road or are in the middle of the journey on this road. These people need inspiration and encouragement. Unless the information is recorded, it would be lost.
