Seeing further
the story of science discovery & the genius of the Royal Society
Book - 2010
As editor of "Seeing Further," Bryson has rounded up an extraordinary roster of scientists who write, and writers who know science, in order to celebrate 350 years of the Royal Society, Britain's scientific national academy. Contributors include Margaret Atwood, Steve Jones, Richard Dawkins, James Gleick, Richard Holmes, and Neal Stephenson, among many others, on subjects ranging from metaphysics to nuclear physics, from the threatened endtimes of flu and climate change to our evolving ideas about the nature of time itself, from the hidden mathematics that rule the universe to the cosmological principle that guides "Star Trek."
