Invention: The Care and Feeding of Ideas

[Tom Schneider]

I just finished reading:

@book{Wiener1993,
author = "N. Wiener",
title = "Invention: The Care and Feeding of Ideas",
publisher = "The MIT Press",
address = "Cambridge, Mass.",
comment = "from a manuscript dated June 1954",
year = "1993"}

It is a wonderful book.  Though written 40 years ago, it is completely
contemporaneous, strongly supporting individual researchers in the face of
"megabuck science".  If every government representative were to read it and
follow it, there would be a great burst of basic science.
