A remarkable book* Nick Smith, Engineering & Technology magazine *
An interesting account by one of the key individuals in the development of MRI. * Maria Bjorkman, Journal of BJHS *
This is a wonderful book which covers the inside story about how the field of MRI evolved from its early days to now. The book covers not only the story behind many of the technical developments of MRI but also how a boy brought up in South London during the Second World War, and who left grade school early, went on to become one of the worlds most accomplished scientists. * Alex MacKay, University of British Columbia *
Professor Sir Peter Mansfield, Sir Peter Mansfield Magnetic Resonance Centre, University of Nottingham, UK.
