Who are the people behind the greatest discoveries of our time? Connecting art and science, photographer Herlinde Koelbl seeks the answers in this English translation of the German book \u003ci\u003eFascination of Science\u003c\/i\u003e, an indelible collection of portraits of and interviews with sixty pioneering scientists of the twenty-first century. Koelbl’s approach is intimate and accessible, and her highly personal interviews with her subjects reveal the forces (as well as the personal quirks) that motivate the scientists’ work; for example, one wakes up at 3 am because her mind is calm then, another says his best ideas come to him in the shower. These glimpses into the scientists’ lives and thinking add untold texture in this up-to-the-minute survey of the activities and progress that are currently taking place in the broad field of the natural sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKoelbl’s interview subjects include Nobel Prize winners Dan Shechtman, Frances Arnold, Carolyn Bertozzi, and cover scientific fields from astronomy, biochemistry, and quantum physics to stem-cell research and AI. Beautifully bringing together art, science, and the written word, \u003ci\u003eFascination of Science\u003c\/i\u003e is an inspiring read that shows how creativity, obsession, persistence, and passion drive the pioneering researchers of our time.8 Foreword by Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker\u003cbr\u003e9 Preface by Herlinde Koelbl \u003cbr\u003eInterviews\u003cbr\u003e10 Karl Deisseroth\u003cbr\u003e16 Peter Seeberger\u003cbr\u003e24 Stefan Hell\u003cbr\u003e30 Antje Boetius\u003cbr\u003e36 Thomas Sudhof\u003cbr\u003e42 David Avnir\u003cbr\u003e48 Alessio Figalli\u003cbr\u003e54 Jennifer Doudna\u003cbr\u003e60 Tom Rapoport\u003cbr\u003e66 Tandong Yao\u003cbr\u003e70 Robert Laughlin\u003cbr\u003e76 Bruce Alberts \u003cbr\u003e82 Viola Vogel\u003cbr\u003e88 Pascale Cossart\u003cbr\u003e94 Brian Schmidt\u003cbr\u003e100 Avi Loeb\u003cbr\u003e106 Wolfgang Ketterle\u003cbr\u003e112 Ron Naaman\u003cbr\u003e118 Faith Osier\u003cbr\u003e126 Helmut Schwarz\u003cbr\u003e132 Bernhard Scholkopf\u003cbr\u003e138 Martin Rees\u003cbr\u003e144 Richard Timothy Hunt\u003cbr\u003e150 Carla Shatz\u003cbr\u003e156 Patrick Cramer\u003cbr\u003e162 Dan Shechtman\u003cbr\u003e168 Aaron Ciechanover\u003cbr\u003e174 Jian-Wei Pan\u003cbr\u003e180 Detlef Gunther\u003cbr\u003e186 George M.
