Scientifically Speaking - A Dictionary of Quotations, Second Edition (Paperback, 2 Revised Edition)

The sixth (and largest) in a series of science quotation books, this dictionary of science quotations is organized by subject. With quotations relevant to all corners of scientific endeavour from Abstraction to Formula, from Technology to Understanding, here are the soundbites of generations of men and women of letters collected together for easy reference. Of course, it's not just fans of science who get quoted; Thomas Hardy, for example, provides this gem under the heading 'Anti-science'. 'The more we know of the laws and nature of the Universe the more ghastly a business we perceive it all to be - and the non-necessity of it.' An entertaining and informative book. (Kirkus UK)

In these days of ever-increasing specialization, it is important to gain a broad appreciation of science. Entertaining and informative, Scientifically Speaking: A Dictionary of Quotations, Second Edition contains the words and wisdom of several hundred scientists, writers, philosophers, poets, and academics. The largest compilation of published science quotations available, the book presents quotations that give depth and breadth to science, and provides the visions and styles of scientists past and present. The bibliography is useful if you want more details about the quotations listed. The extensive author and subject indexes provide the perfect tool for locating quotations for practical use or pleasure. This book can be read for entertainment or used as a handy reference.
