Publications

One of the long-lasting projects of the Society has been the study of the achievements of the distinguished Croatian scientists, who have been living and working abroad. Personal and scientific biographies of more than eighty scientists in a broader field of natural sciences have been collected, and as many chapters have been published in nine books (bilingual: in Croatian and English), edited by Professor Janko Herak. The chapters have been written by Croatian or foreign scientists, acquainted with the work of the respective celebrities.
