There are very few with Philip Morrison's gifts, few who can lead
us with firm knowledge whispering just the right encouragement as
he guides us across the great ideas of science. Take this journey
with one of the most astute navigators and you'll find yourself
compelled to go deeper into some of the most daring adventures of
modern science. Nothing is too grand or seemingly too trivial - the
nature of time, the fabric of the atom, what it means to explore
scientific horizons, the galaxies, even the search for unknown
intelligence in the vast as-yet-uncharted universe. Then as deftly
as Morrison takes us on a dazzling tour of the stars, he gently
settles down for an intimate stop in the nursery where children
have their first encounters with the things of everyday life,
everyday things that cause us to wonder and make for discovery.
With an equally firm grasp, Morrison, who witnessed the first tests
of the atom bomb, takes us unflinchingly through some of the most
frightening terrain of modern times, where the arms race can cause
our ultimate destruction, but where sanity can still bring us
peace. This extraordinary collection of essays by one of the most
profound commentators on the successes and failures of the
scientific enterprize concludes with lively portraits of men of
science - Neils Bohr, Richard Feynman, Charles Babbage, among other
notable friends and heroes.
