OXFORD BOOK OF MODERN SCIENCE WRITING

SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY RICHARD DAWKINS, THE OXFORD BOOK OF MODERN SCIENCE WRITING IS A CELEBRATION OF THE FINEST WRITING BY SCIENTISTS FOR A WIDER AUDIENCE - REVEALING THAT MANY OF THE BEST SCIENTISTS HAVE DISPLAYED AS MUCH IMAGINATION AND SKILL WITH THE PEN AS THEY HAVE IN THE LABORATORY. THIS IS A RICH AND VIBRANT COLLECTION THAT CAPTURES THE POETRY AND EXCITEMENT OF COMMUNICATING SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING AND SCIENTIFIC EFFORT FROM 1900 TO THE PRESENT DAY. PROFESSOR DAWKINS HAS INCLUDED WRITING FROM A DIVERSE RANGE OF SCIENTISTS, SOME OF WHOM NEED NO INTRODUCTION, AND SOME OF WHOSE WORKS HAVE BECOME MODERN CLASSICS, WHILE OTHERS MAY BE LESS FAMILIAR - BUT ALL CONVEY THE PASSION OF GREAT SCIENTISTS WRITING ABOUT THEIR SCIENCE.
