His brilliance was allied with a certain stubbornness, and when he died in 1994, at the age of 93, he was embroiled in controversy regarding his advocacy of vitamin C as a treatment for cancer. Based on thirty years of interviews, this masterful biography is filled with insights into the life and work of this complex, fascinating man.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ted Goertzel</b> is a professor of sociology at Rutgers University.
