| How Things Are: A Science Tool-Kit for the Mind
| | John Brockman
| One doesn't find many books today that present the most profound thoughts and conclusions of a number of great minds. Here are quick, highly readable essays covering every facet of contemporary culture from Incest to the Internet, from Time to Talmud. The book is divided into five sections...Thinking About Science, Origins, Evolution, Mind, and Cosmos...each with thought-provoking commentaries by celebrated authorities such as Lewis Wolpert Triumph of the Embryo and Paul Davies, What Happened Before the Big Bang? In all, 34 contributors make this a work whose significance will be hard to match. Each individual essay--written with wisdom, very quotable, and sure to stimulate conversation--alone is worth the price. How long has it been since you owned a book loaded with such intellectual jewels?
