About This Item
319 pages. First edition (first printing). A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Signed by Smolin, and scarce thus. This copy belonged to Edmund H. Fischer, winner of the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1992. It has an unsigned gift inscription written in two hands with two pens. It is at least possible that Fischer wrote his own name in the book.
