Creative Lives and Works: Antony Hewish, Martin Rees and Neil Turok
is a collection of interviews conducted by one of England's leading
social anthropologists and historians, Professor Alan Macfarlane.
Filmed over a period of 40 years, the three conversations in this
volume, are part of a larger set of interviews that cut across
various disciplines, from the social sciences, the sciences and to
even the performing and visual arts. The current volume on three of
England's foremost astrophysicists-cosmologists is the fourth in
the series of several such books. Antony Hewish, who won the Nobel
Prize in 1974, in the foreword to Questions of Truth writes, 'The
ghostly presence of virtual particles defies rational common sense
and is non-intuitive for those unacquainted with physics.... But
when the most elementary physical things behave in this way, we
should be prepared to accept that the deepest aspects of our
existence go beyond our common-sense understanding'. Sir Martin
Rees eloquently puts forward the problems and challenges of the
21st century, in relation to science, ethics and politics. Like
Hewish and Rees, Neil Turok also piques the layman's interest in
the mysteries of the cosmic world. Immensely riveting as
conversations, this collection takes one into the world of
boundless discoveries hidden among the blue skies. The book will be
of enormous value not just to those interested in Astronomy and
Cosmology as well as the History of Science, but also to those with
an inquisitive mind. Please note: This title is co-published with
Social Science Press, New Delhi. Taylor & Francis does not sell
or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan,
