Anatole Abragam is one of the great names of nuclear magnetism and, understandably, a good third of this collection of speeches and writings is devoted to a clear account of the subject's historical development. He has much to say, with great modesty, on other topics and the remainder of this small book ranges from atomic and molecular physics, through little/big science and fundamental/applied research, to reflections oh the status of French as a scientific language.
