Review

These insights from hundreds of scientists also constitute an absorbing historical overview.

From the Back Cover

Straight from the lips of the greatest minds in human history

The Quotable Scientist...

See what they really think.

A thought-provoking resource for armnchair scientists, mathematicians, writers, philosophers, and trivia buffs of all kinds, Leslie Alan Horvitz's collection tackles subjects ranging from time, genetics, and inventions to chaos, creation, and scientists themselves. A witty celebration of all things "scinetific," the Quotable Scientist brings to life not only the myriad history-making discoveries but also sheds light on the timeless qualities of those who seek to make sense of our universe.
