Overview"Science (and its application in technology) is often regarded as a cold and remote activity outside everyday experience. Its practitioners may also be described in these terms. This book should be of interest for its insights into the personal pleasures, failures, successes, and problems of Japanese scientists - perhaps the perfect embodiment in popular thinking of the logical, unfeeling technician. The scientists and technologists interviewed discuss questions including: what brought them into science; what they are working on now; future developments from ""intelligent"" concrete to isolating an electron in a box; and what is wrong (and what is right) with Western research methods. The book should be of interest to Western scientists and technologists curious about their Japanese counterparts and their working environments and business people with an interest in technological developments."
