This Idea Is Brilliant: Lost, Overlooked, and Underappreciated Scientific Concepts Everyone Should Know by John Brockman

2.0

In a collection of 200 brief essays by 200 personalities you cannot expect a common style, approach or level of interest. There are great texts about important concepts, such as Pinker's beautiful reflection on the second law of thermodynamics, and there are disappointing contributions about obscure ideas. Anyway the book succeeds in portraying the depth and richness of current natural and social sciences.
