Recopilación de ensayos, algunos de ellos biográficos, con la ciencia como telón de fondo. JB no es un gran historiador de la ciencia, ni siquiera es un gran escritor. Sin embargo, algunas de las historias que cuenta, como las muestras de precocidad de los grandes matemáticos, salvan en general el libro,. No es de los mejores pero trae un montón de cosas interesantes que aprender. Ya es algo. ( )
