A biography written by Dorothy Michelson Livingston in 1973.
I very much enjoyed reading this book, Michelson being an aether hero of mine.
I see that a signed & dedicated ex-family copy of the book is available cheaply on ebay. I nearly bort it but ended up getting an even cheaper book. There are scientists out there who would get more pleasure from owning a signed book than would i.
Unfortunately the book is partly spoiled by the hand of Robert S Shankland "who kindly edited my account of the experiments:". Shankland is the guy who fraudulently in i think 1955 reported that the aetherwind found in Miller-Morley's MMXs was due to temperature not aetherwind, & thusly ushered this prezent ugly modern Dark Age of science (the age of Einsteinology).
Again & again & again in the book Shankland makes sure that Michelson's MMXs are described as being null with respect to any aether or aetherwind. Strangely Shankland (via his edits) again & again gives Michelson credit for prooving the truth of Einsteinology, & for being some kind of pioneer of Einsteinology. Whereas Michelson allways believed in aether, & had zero love of STR & GTR.
