| "Probably the most readable exciting and authoritative writer on science we have A new Lawrence Krauss book always goes to the top of the curious mind's wish list' Stephen Fry I loved the fight scenes and the sex scenes were excellent (Eric Idle) 'In the span of a century physics progressed from skepticism that atoms were real to equations so precise we can predict properties of subatomic particles to the tenth decimal place Lawrence Krauss rightly places this achievement among the greatest of all stories and his book-at once engaging poetic and scholarly-tells the story with a scientist's penetrating insight and a writer's masterly craft' (Brian Greene author of The Elegant Universe and Director Center for Theoretical Physics Columbia University) Unlike some very clever scientists Lawrence Krauss is not content to bask on the Mount Olympus of modern physics A great educator as well as a great physicist he wants to pull others up the rarefied heights to join him But unlike some science educators he doesn't dumb down In Einstein's words he makes it 'as simple as possible but no simpler' (Richard Dawkins author of The Magic of Reality) In every debate I've done with theologians and religious believers their knock-out final argument always comes in the form of two questions Why is there something rather than nothing? and Why are we here? The presumption is that if science provides no answers then there must be a God But God or no we still want answers In A Universe From Nothing Lawrence Krauss one of the biggest thinkers of our time addressed the first question with verve and in The Greatest Story Ever Told he tackles the second with elegance Both volumes should be placed in hotel rooms across America in the drawer next to the Gideon Bible (Michael Shermer Publisher Skeptic magazine columnist Scientific American Presidential Fellow Chapman University author The Moral Arc) A Homeric tale of science history and philosophy revealing how we learned so much about the universe and its tiniest parts (Sheldon Glashow Nobel Laureate 1979 in physics) The Greatest Story Ever Told-So Far ranges from Galileo to the LHC and beyond It's accessible illuminating and surprising-an ideal guide for anyone interested in understanding our accidental universe (Elizabeth Kolbert Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction) College students hippies squares Christians Muslims democrats republicans libertarians theists even atheists-all of us-sit around BS-ing like So how did all this I mean everything all of us the whole universe you know man everything how did this all get here?' While we were doing that Lawrence Krauss and people like him were doing the work to figure it out Then Krauss wrote this great book about it Wow man you mean like we're getting closer to really knowing? I guess we'll have to go back to talking about politics and sex' (Penn Jillette author of Presto!) Discovering the bedrock nature of physical reality ranks as one of humanity's greatest collective achievements This book gives a fine account of the main ideas and how they emerged Krauss is himself close to the field and can offer insights into the personalities who have led the key advances A practiced and skilled writer he succeeds in making the physics as simple as possible but no simpler' I don't know a better book on this subject (Martin Rees author of Just Six Numbers) It is an exhilarating experience to be led through this fascinating story from Galileo to the Standard Model and the Higgs boson and beyond with lucid detail and insight illuminating vividly not only the achievements themselves but also the joy of creative thought and discovery enriched with vignettes of the remarkable individuals who paved the way It amply demonstrates that the discovery that nature really follows the simple and elegant rules intuited by the 20th- and 21st-century versions of Plato's philosophers' is one of the most astonishing achievements of the human intellect (Noam Chomsky Institute Professor & Professor of Linguistics (Emeritus) MIT) Charming Krauss has written an account with sweep and verve that shows the full development of our ideas about the makeup of the world around us A great romp (Walter Gilbert Nobel Award Chemistry 1980) History of science with an edge-humorous personal passionate yet intellectually serious and authoritative (Frank Wilczek Nobel Laureate Physics)In the beginning there was light but more than this there was gravity After that all hell broke loose This is how the story of the greatest intellectual adventure in history should be introduced - how humanity reached its current understanding of the universe one that is far removed from the realm of everyday experience Krauss connects the world we know with the invisible world all around us which is removed from intuition and direct sensation He explains our current understanding of nature and the struggle to construct the greatest theoretical edifice ever assembled the Standard Model of Particle Physics -- and then to understand its implications for our existence Writing in the critically acclaimed style of A Universe from Nothing Krauss celebrates the beauty and wonders of the natural world and details our place within it and how this shapes our understanding of it Krauss makes this story accessible through profiles of the scientists responsible for these advances and clear explanations of their discoveries Krauss takes us on a tour of science and the brilliant personalities who shaped it often against political and religious indoctrination enduring persecution and ostracism Krauss creates a captivating blend of research and narrative to invite us into the lives and minds of these figurescreating a landmark work of scientific history"

| "&39;Fascinating a thought-provoking journey into emotion science&39; The Wall Street Journal When you feel anxious angry happy or surprised what&39;s really going on inside of you? Many scientists believe that emotions come from a specific part of the brain triggered by the world around us The thrill of seeing an old friend the fear of losing someone we love - each of these sensations seems to arise automatically and uncontrollably from within us finding expression on our faces and in our behaviour carrying us away with the experience This understanding of emotion has been around since Plato But what if it is wrong? In How Emotions Are Made pioneering psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett draws on the latest scientific evidence to reveal that our common-sense ideas about emotions are dramatically even dangerously out of date - and that we have been paying the price Emotions aren&39;t universally pre-programmed in our brains and bodies; rather they are psychological experiences that each of us constructs based on our unique personal history physiology and environment This new view of emotions has serious implications when judges issue lesser sentences for crimes of passion when police officers fire at threatening suspects or when doctors choose between one diagnosis and another they&39;re all in some way relying on the ancient assumption that emotions are hardwired into our brains and bodies Revising that conception of emotion isn&39;t just good science Barrett shows; it&39;s vital to our well-being and the health of society itself"
