"Alan Lightman brings a light touch to heavy questions. Here is
a book about nesting ospreys, multiple universes, atheism,
spiritualism, and the arrow of time. Throughout, Lightman takes us
back and forth between ordinary occurrences--old shoes and entropy,
sailing far out at sea and the infinite expanse of space.
"In this slight volume, Lightman looks toward the universe and
captures aspects of it in a series of beautifully written essays,
each offering a glimpse at the whole from a different perspective:
here time, there symmetry, not least God. It is a meditation by a
remarkable humanist-physicist, a book worth reading by anyone
entranced by big ideas grounded in the physical world."
