This book, subtitled 'Conversations with the Cosmos', is a collection of short essays adapted in part from her column 'Mind Over Matter' that appeared in the Los Angeles Times. The author received the 1995 American Institute of Physics Award for Best Science Writing. Some of the essays made me laugh and others made me think further about the points she was trying to make. On the whole I enjoyed this book. One complaint: when I read several in a row there was some noticeable repetition of subject matter. It is probably best to only read one selection each day to fully enjoy her little essays on science. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The universe comes down to earth in K.C.Cole's Mind Over Matter, a fresh and witty exploration of physics, cosmology, mathematics, astronomy, and more.Like no other science writer, Cole demystifies scientific concepts and humanizes the people who study them.Beginning with a discussion of how "the mind creates reality as well as muddles it," she then peeks into the stories behind science's great minds and into their playful side, and concludes by illuminating the relationship between science and society.Cole's remarkable work brings science to the reader's doorstep, revealing the universe to be elegant, intriguing, and relevant to politics, art, and every dimension of human life.
