   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   TychoKlop | Dec 11, 2023 |  The appeal of the essays is their focus and their brevity: a single theme; a surprising point of view; an explanation about why a theory is acceptable or not. How Things Are gives us a chance to see the minds of distinguished scientists and thinkers at work; the questions they ask, the methods they use; the thought processes they follow in trying to arrive at an understanding of the world around us, and of ourselves. Imagine that you found yourself in a roomful of distinguished scientists, and that you were able to pose just a single question to each one. These essays can be read as their responses to your questions -- written in a language that you can understand. What a rich resource, this gathering of important thinkers. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
40 scientists have each contributed a piece relevant to their field - an elementary idea, a basic concept, a tool for thought. These pieces together form a tool-kit for the curious to use in extending their reading in scientific areas. The pieces are arranged in thematic groups: (1) Thinking about science (2) Origins (3) Evolution (4) Mind (5) Cosmos (6) The future. Each essay is short, averaging about 1500 words, and is self-contained, assuming no prior knowledge. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
