Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Science blunders about over time, so this edition is hopelessly out of date. Wonderful topics are a bit philosophical at times. Perhaps a 3-star effort in 1996. ( ) Another of those 'just read a few pages at a time' books. Basically this is a book of 101 3-page essays about questions from the borders of science. Even though he was writing this book 15 years ago many of the questions are still current and many remain essentially unanswered. I did enjoy Trefil's very readable book. no reviews | add a review
Offers a look at the most pressing questions in science today including the likelihood of extraterrestrial intelligence and of a medicinal cure for tumors. No library descriptions found.
