ISBN: 9780060728892 - infinite in all directions: gifford lectures given at aberdeen, scotland april-november 1985: gifford lectures given at aberdeen, scotland ... science on life, nature, and infinity (32 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Infinite in All Directions, with a new introduction by the author, is a classic and a rare treat of polished prose-a combination of scientific knowledge and a mediation on the human condition through the windows of science and religion. Freeman Dyson is a distinguished scientist, lecturer, and writer, arms control expert, a theoretical physicist and one of the most formidably provocative minds in America. In celebrating the diversity of our world and ourselves, Dyson explores a rich range of subjects from the origins of life and the prospects of immortality to nuclear weapons and the frontiers of space. Part One of two, entitled "Life In The Universe," is a meditation on life as a scientific phenomenon and about our efforts to understand the nature of life and its place in the universe; Part Two "People and Machines" is about ethics and politics and about the local problems introduced by our species into the existence of life on this planet. Dyson, a lover of diversity, looks at both scientific and human problems in this generous rewriting of his famous Gifford Lectures, a series that has produced several classic books, including William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience and Alfred North Whitehead's Process and Reality. As Time magazine wrote, "To observe a mind uncommonly endowed with dexterity and knowledge hop from subject to subject is exhilarating.".…
