Thinking

One of the Edge series of annual collections. This one is worth getting. I was so impressed by what I learned, and I still have 18 stickies marking the pages. I gave this to my science undergrad. niece when she came for Christmas 2014 and she just sat there reading it, so I'm not the only one who found it a page-turner. It's subtitle (New Science...) is a good summary and it has short essays from many of my favourite authors on this topic. It is unlikely you will read it and not learn something that will help you practically with the subtitle topics, it picks on the weak points many of us humans have so although you may start from a somewhat better position than I, it's unlikely you have all of these sussed out already.
