“I found the book an intriguing opus, with a high value added, for a number of reasons. … The reader enjoys the richness of the book in explaining the scientific trajectories of the Great Minds. … The reading of the book is a pleasant entertainment also because it explains the successful recipe to give rise to new theories and models, which I would summarize as a mix of culture, curiosity, courage and commitment.” (Roberta Capello, Regional Science Policy & Practice, Vol. 14, 2022)
