We Are All Stardust: Scientists Who Shaped Our World Talk about Their Work, Their Lives, and What They Still Want to Know by Stefan Klein

5.0

An excellent collection of essays with modern scientists in various fields. Many names are instantly recognizable, others are unknown (in America, at least). The conversational format makes even complicated topics accessible to interested readers.
