4.9/5 (33562 ratings)

Description:s/t: Reflections on the Place of Life in the Universe Freeman Dyson's latest book doesn't attempt to bring together all the celebrated physicist's thoughts on science & technology as a unified theory. The emphasis is, instead, on the myriad ways in which the universe presents itself to us--& how, as observers & participants in its processes, we respond to it. "Life, like a dome of many-colored glass," wrote Percy Bysshe Shelley, "stains the white radiance of eternity." The author seeks here to explore the variety that gives life its beauty. Taken from his recent public lectures--delivered to audiences with no specialized knowledge in hard sciences--the book begins with a consideration of the practical & political questions surrounding biotechnology. As he seeks how best to explain the place of life in the universe, he then moves from the ethical to the purely scientific. The book concludes with an attempt to understand the implications of biology for philosophy & religion. The pieces in this collection touch on numerous disciplines, from astronomy & ecology to neurology & theology, speaking to the lay reader as well as to the scientist. As always, his view of human nature & behavior is balanced, & his predictions of a world to come serve primarily as a means for thinking about the world as it is today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
