About this product
Product Information
Jeremy Bernstein's sparkling new collection of essays represents much of his work over the past ten years. Focusing on science as a form of human experience, his essays range from an attempt to explain the use of the quantum theory in Tom Stoppard's play Hapgood, to a critical review of recent books on Einstein. Jeremy Bernstein reminds one of how full of surprise and pleasure the world is. He enlightens and entertains...a rare combination. --Joseph Epstein. Jeremy Bernstein is one of those few who still know how to tell us what scientists do. --Marvin Minsky

Reviews
Jeremy Bernstein's readers find themselves enjoying his stories about science before they realize they are understanding the science in the stories with the same pleasure., Bernstein reminds one of how full of surprise and pleasure the world is. He enlightens and entertains. It's a rare combination, but then Mr. Bernstein is a rare bird., The loss of Sagan has left our world bereft of writers who brandish the precision of poets and the imagination of scientists. Jeremy Bernstein is one of those few., The essays are outstanding for their lucidity and their easy flow, rare virtues that any reader should delight in.
