"The phrase 'public intellectual' is much bandied about. Just a few
real heavyweights in the world merit the title, and Steven Weinberg
is preeminent among them." -Richard Dawkins "Weinberg has a knack
for capturing a complex concept in a succinct, unforgettable
image... One of the smartest and most diligent scientists around."
-Nature In this wise and wide-ranging meditation, one of the most
captivating science communicators of our time challenges us to
reconsider the entanglement of science and society. From the
cosmological to the personal, from astronomy and quantum physics to
the folly of manned spaceflight and the rewards of getting things
wrong, Steven Weinberg shares his views on the workings of the
universe and our aspirations and limitations. Third Thoughts aims
to provoke and inform and never loses sight of the human dimension
of scientific discovery. "One of the 20th century's greatest
physicists...shares his strongly-held opinions on everything from
the Higgs boson to the state of theoretical physics and the
problems of science and society." -Forbes "This book should be read
not only for its insightful and illuminating explanations of a wide
range of physical phenomena but also for the opportunity it affords
to follow the wanderings of a brilliant mind through topics ranging
from high-energy physics and the makeup of the cosmos to poetry,
and from the history and philosophy of science to the dangers of
economic inequality... [A] captivating book." -Mario Livio, Science
