TO EXPLAIN THE WORLD by Steven Weinberg

and says that the author is not “shy about offering his personal assessment of many icons in the history of science and philosophy…I have to confess it made me laugh out loud.” The author also recently wrote a piece for the Guardian listing the “13 best science books for the general reader. Harper published the book February 17, 2015.
