Very well written collection of 7 essays, with the first three by far the attention grabbers for me, especially his points on climate change and sane approach to thinking about solutions. His discussion of the linkage between science and religion was interesting, and his style of gently easing the reader to the point where he very bluntly challenged thought leaders was disarming and interesting. I really enjoyed the collection. ( )

The latest, short, offering from mind-bendingly lateral-thinking physicist Dyson. The flaw in his brilliance is his respect for theology (he is a Templeton-prize awardee), and so the last chapter is one that is best skipped.
