Brave New Outlook on Science and Judaism

I don't think I've ever read a book quite as breathtakingly interesting and pertanent regarding Judaism. Brave New Judaism has changed the way I look at my religion and has allowed me to see the new advances of science in a new light as well. In addition, although it covers topics such as science and religion, which often are covered very innanely, Dr. Wahrman has managed to turn these topics into a page-turner through her personal anecdotes and fascinating tidbits on every topic. I recommend this book to any scientists or religious experts out there...or to anyone who has spent an afternoon pondering either of these topics under a tree in the backyard.
