pp. 255, b/w and color illustrations, “Where do scientific revolutions come from? From brilliant minds with great ideas or from new advances in scientific techniques and technologies? The answer, of course, is found when you bring the two together: great minds with access to new ways of doing things. In Innovation!, twenty-five of Canada’s leading scientists and researchers report from the boundaries of scientific knowledge and technological possibility where they are claiming the future that will shape us. The revolutions in medical care and environmental change, breakthroughs in superconductors and quantum computing, new understandings in society and culture, and discoveries in genomics and the distant universe that these Canadians are pursuing demonstrate a remarkable change in how modern research is taking place. The breakthroughs of the twenty-first century are occurring where specialists collaborate, applying innovative insights across disciplines. The stories of investigation, discovery, and accomplishment collected in Innovation! show how Canadian ambition and support is bringing together brilliant minds with new resources in Science’s noble and presumptuous task of mapping our future.” As new.
