THE SEARCH FOR E. T. BELL

The Search for E.T. Bell by Constance Reid

"Eric Temple Bell has been one of my heroes for sixty years... I congratulate Constance Reid on a remarkable achievement. I hope it is greeted with the success it deserves, and revives interest in an extraordinary and multi-talented man."-Arthur C. Clarke

"Constance Reid reveals an engaging story about a highly interesting and complex individual, Eric Temple Bell...The story of Bell's life is fascinating, and the description of the painstaking detective work that unveiled this story is equally fascinating. It is a remarkable piece of work."-Tom Apostol

"No one today writes about mathematics and mathematicians with more grace, knowledge, skill, and clarity than Constance Reid; and no one is going to produce a more delightful, informative, accurate account of Eric Temple Bell and his work, and his alter-ego, the prolific pioneer of science fiction, John Taine." -Martin Gardner
