Negative Positive
Title: One of my favorites
Review: Listen, I'm a layman, although I enjoy many science-related books, and I don't agree with everything Horgan says. That being said, I find myself re-reading bits and pieces of this book all the time. If anything else, it is lively and entertaining, with really great looks at modern science's most intriguing characters. There are people behind the ideas, with all the accompanying pettiness and backstabbing and pride associated with them. If nothing else, that's a refreshing lesson, is a world in which scientists are presented as having had their theories handed down from on high. Give this book to a high school senior, which is when I first read it, and watch their interest in science bloom, not falter.
