Book by Weinberg Steven
"Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
Anyone who has read Weinberg's essays in "The New York Review of Books" over the years knows that, in addition to being a superb popular expositor of science...the distinguished Nobel Prize physicist has not shied away from polemically treating more controversial matters as well...Weinberg's writing is a joy. Difficult ideas are explained in a language that is learned, unpretentious, elegant, and persuasive all at once--it is the quality of the ideas that comes through, ideas needing no embellishing obfuscation of style. Much, much to be learned here...A valuable, important book. Highly recommended.--M. Schiff"Choice" (03/01/2002)
In this volume, Steven Weinberg pursues his principal passions, theoretical physics and a deeper understanding of the culture, philosophy, history, and politics of science. Each of these essays, which span 15 years, struggles in one way or another with the necessity of facing up to the discovery that the laws of nature are impersonal, with no hint of a special status for human beings. Defending the spirit of science against its cultural adversaries, these essays express a viewpoint that is reductionist, realist, and devoutly secular. Each is preceded by a new introduction that explains its provenance and, if necessary, brings it up to date.
