Science Says

Perhaps no other topic is as relevant to our lives today as science. We look to the interpreters of science for wisdom and answers, insights into the nature of the universe and who we are, as well as explanations for the common and everyday world in which we live. Here, then, is an indispensable collection of the best that has been written and said about science from ancient times to today. Written by scientists and philosophers alike, the passages in this handy volume are filled with wit and wisdom, and range from brief insights to longer, thought-provoking quotes. Rob Kaplan has held senior-level editorial positions with several major New York-based publishing houses and currently heads his own literary firm, Rob Kaplan Associates. He is the coeditor of A Passion for Books.
