Excellent. Covers several of the titles subjects.It is one of the series of World Treasures.

A compendium of the seminal ideas and articles of the entire cast of preeminent scientists and mathematicians of modern times. Articles by and about Einstein, Rutherford, Feynman, Von Neumann, Planck, Hawking, Bohr, Heisenberg, and many other notable modern scientists give a great first-hand overview of what we know about matter and math. I found particularly interesting, the discussion about religion and science (many great scientists believe in God and support that science is his method and creation), great (and eccentric mathematicians), the culture and participants of Los Alamos; the great debates about black holes; and the varying "definitions" of science and mathematics. There is also a strong skepticism of religion and politics by most of the writers (many still allude to bitterness over Galileo's persecution, e.g.). ( )

Read the Annie Dillard piece first, it is stunning. Then wade through the headier stuff - I'm still working my way through. ( )
