520    "Fritz Zwicky was one of the most inventive and 
       iconoclastic scientists of the twentieth century. He 
       predicted the existence of neutron stars, and his research
       pointed the way toward the discovery of pulsars and black 
       holes. He was the first to conceive of the existence of 
       dark matter, the first to make a detailed catalog of 
       thousands of galaxies, and the first to correctly suggest 
       that cosmic rays originate from supernovas. Not content to
       confine his discoveries to the heavens, Zwicky contributed
       to the US war against Japan with inventions in jet 
       propulsion that enabled aircraft to launch from carriers 
       in the Pacific. After the war, he was the first Western 
       scientist to interview Wernher von Braun, the Nazi 
       engineer who developed the V-2 rocket. Later he became an 
       outspoken advocate for space exploration, but also tangled
       with almost every leading scientist of the time, from 
       Edwin Hubble and Richard Feynman to J. Robert Oppenheimer 
       and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. In Zwicky, John Johnson 
       Jr. brings this tempestuous maverick to life. Zwicky not 
       only made groundbreaking contributions to science and 
       engineering; he rose to fame as one of the most 
       imaginative science popularizers of his day. Yet he became
       a pariah in the scientific community, denouncing his 
       enemies, real and imagined, as "spherical bastards" and 
       "horses' asses." Largely forgotten today, Zwicky deserves 
       to be remembered for introducing the world to some of the 
       most destructive forces in the universe, and as a reminder
       that genius obeys no rules and has no friends."--Page [2]
