This is an outstanding survey of science and scientific thinking. It gives excellent overviews of some difficult but important concepts - chaos, entropy, relativity, and quantum mechanics. It primarily is about physics, but has several chapters on biology and evolution. All is given the perspective of the importance of science to everday life and living. I will read this one again. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The author provides a sweeping overview of the whole of Western science, from the Renaissance to the present. In it, he translates the most important, and often impenetrably obscure, scientific developments into a vernacular that aims to be accessible and illuminating.
