The scientists are somewhat anonymous as they wished their names to be changed in this account of the highs and lows, both professional and personal. There were periods of exciting progress and others of disappointments and tedious repetition of their experiments. One recurring disappointment was the grant applications that kept coming back as 'scientifically sound but unfunded' so that 'Anna' and her group never were sure if they would have results before their money ran out. An interesting look at the process of science, and, since the author is a historian of science, the details are not too hard for the nonspecialist to follow.
