Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The fate of specialists in any one area of science is to focus more narrowly on their special topic, learning more and more about less and less, until eventually they end up knowing everything about nothing."
Industry Reviews
"In 220 pages of text, John Gribbin, a prolific writer of books about science, along with his wife, Mary, has given away all our secrets (well, a lot of them anyway)....We scientists are specialists, and Gribbin is a generalist of impressive proportions....[He] is a very dependable guide, to nearly all of science, for almost everyone."
