About this item
A wise, personal, and wide-ranging meditation on science and society by the Nobel Prize-winning author of To Explain the World.For more than four decades, one of the most captivating and celebrated science communicators of our time has challenged the public to think carefully about the foundations of nature and the inseparable entanglement of science and society. In Third Thoughts Steven Weinberg casts a wide net: from the cosmological to the personal, from astronomy, quantum mechanics, and the history of science to the limitations of current knowledge, the art of discovery, and the rewards of getting things wrong.Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics and author of the classic The First Three Minutes, Weinberg shares his views on some of the most fundamental and fascinating aspects of physics and the universe.
About the Author
I write and illustrate kids' books about mutants fixing climate change, being a middle kid, chainsaws, beards, roller coasters, and dinosaurs. And I paint landscapes and fish, too. Basically all the fun stuff.My books have been called "Brilliant" by Dave Pilkey, "thrillingly shameless" by the NY Times, "guaranteed to fuel read aloud energy" by Publisher's Weekly, and "the best thing to ever happen to me", by one very sweet first grader in Washington, DC.My art has been featured in The New York Times, on book covers, beer cans, in magazines like Gray's Sporting Journal and Boys' Life as well as being exhibited across the country.I live in the Catskills with my wife Casey Scieszka, our daughters Amina and Felix, our dog Waldo, and our bed and bar called the Spruceton Inn that we all run together in the backyard.
