In Retrospect: From The Pill To The Pen by Carl Djerassi
These are the reflections of a nonagenarian polymath describing the shift from a fifty-year-long career as a world-famous chemist to a subsequent twenty-five-year immersion in science-in-fiction and science-in-theater, which is virtually unique among contemporary scientists.Carl Djerassi is a Stanford University chemistry professor. He is one of the rare scientists to have received both the National Medal of Science and the National Medal of Technology. He is one of the world's premier organic chemists. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, as well as the author of five books and several plays.
