| Sumario: | Explaining the world around us, and the life within, is one of the most uniquely human drives, and the most celebrated activities of science.

'Wondrous Truths' provides a fresh, daring, and genuine alternative to established views of scientific progress, and recovers at once the majesty of science and the grand sweep of big ideas. |
