Scientists Greater than Einstein: The Biggest Lifesavers of the Twentieth Century
The abbreviated histories of 10 scientists and their discoveries that led to them becoming the 10 scientists to save the most lives in the last century. Each chapter focuses on one scientist, his life and his contribution to the human race.
The last chapter the author talks about utilizing a scientific perspective as a society to allocate funds. It was one of the most tolerable "political debates" I've read this year, due to the fact-based nature of said scientific perspective.
