We Are All Stardust Scientists Who Shaped Our World Talk about Their Work, Their Lives, and What They Still Want to Know By: Stefan Klein Publisher: The Experiment Print ISBN: 9781615190591, 1615190597 eText ISBN: 9781615191536, 1615191534 Pages: 288 Format: EPUB Available from $ 14.95 USD SKU: 9781615191536 “What distinguishes scientists, in your eyes?”—Stefan Klein “First and foremost, curiosity.”—Roald Hoffmann, Nobel Prize–winning chemist When Stefan Klein, an acclaimed journalist, sits down to talk with 18 of the world’s leading scientists, he finds they’re driven by, above all, curiosity. When they talk about their work, they turn to what’s next, to what they still hope to discover. And they see inspiration everywhere: From the sports car that physicist Steven Weinberg says helped him on his quest for “the theory of everything” to the jazz musicians who gave psychologist Alison Gopnik new insight into raising children, they reveal how their paradigm-changing work entwines with their lives outside the lab. We hear from extraordinary natural and social scientists, including: Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins on ego and selflessness Primatologist Jane Goodall on chimpanzee behavior Neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran on consciousness Geographer Jared Diamond on chance in history Anthropologist Sarah Hrdy on motherhood And cosmologist Martin Rees on how “ultimately we ourselves are stardust.” SKU: 9781615190591 Download now: https://ebookscoffee.sellpass.io/products/We-Are-All-Stardust
