Charles Flowers: Instability Rules

By MARGIE THOMSON

If anyone can make poetry out of science, Flowers can. His language is evocative and dramatic as he tackles such topics as Hubble and the expanding universe; Einstein and the wonder of light; Bohr and the puzzles of the quantum world; Wegener and the dance of the continents; fuzzy math; human genome; origins of species; the brain as computer and vice versa; Freud and the unconscious.

If you've ever wondered about these matters, this is the book to buy, but be warned: Flowers explains rather than simplifies (in fact, he quotes Einstein at one point: "Everything must be made as simple as possible but not one bit simpler").
