As I write this, I have very little time to write a review, but I have to say I really loved this collection. And I'm one of those people with very little interest in science, but all the articles were well written and most of them were facinating. If you're not interested in science, give it a try. If you like science, this book should blow you away.
20 science articles from 11 publications. The article on theoretical physics is a stand-out.
This is a great book. I ended up buying Hervey This's book because of the article in here.
Going to read all of these as well
