Customer Reviews

This is a must for the scientifically curious.

I have been remiss in not expressing my views about this book in a more timely fashion. I read it some time ago and am now reading it again ... as prompted by "A Briefer History of Time" by Stephen Hawking. Hawking's work reminded me that the cleavages among science and religion and philosophy cannot be fully appreciated by only reading books written by scientists. If you are a science reader, as I am, you owe it to yourself to read this book.
