Book Review: Disturbing Uncertainties
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent review of the panoply of human life: its genius; its foibles. Anyone who imagines scientists are some sort of sacred band, far, far above us, the humble 'serfs' of the planet will see in this book that even the most celebrated, most intelligent scientist has feet of clay. (Or at least a toe or two are of clay.)
At another level, the author brings us into the disturbing world of sub-atomic phenomena while exploring the mysteries of the broad universe. Having an extensive background in science is not needed to learn much of our strange world and the equally strange personalities involved in the endless struggle to understand.
Highly recommended to any one able to read English and comprehend the story, which is anyone with the curiosity to explore. For me, it was a quick, enjoyable, enlightening read.
