“We live in a world that operates according to a few general laws of nature…This exceedingly beautiful and elegant view of the world is the crowning achievement of centuries of work by scientists. There is intellectual and aesthetic satisfaction to be gained from seeing the unity between a pot of water on a stove and the slow march of the continents…The scientifically illiterate person has been cut off from an enriching part of life, just as surely as a person who cannot read.”
I am loving this book already, which I would not have stumbled upon if not for homeschooling.
Also, inter library loan is a sweet deal.
