Reviews

Serious readers shouldn't be put off by the New Age imprint on the esteemed physicist's last work. Focusing here on three main themes--the advent of the sciences of complexity, the research role of computers and the philosophy of science, the late Pagels "again demonstrates his gift for synthesizing complex scientific information into concise, readable prose," wrote PW.
