Descriere

How Science Rediscovered the Mystery of Ourselves. Esteemed medical scientist and journalist James Le Fanu sets out in this lively, fascinating and provocative book to tackle the major questions of man's unique place in the universe.


Recenzii

'The beauty of this book is that it reclaims the most profound reality that any of us know -- the reality of our selves -- from a scientific world that seeks to deny choice, wonder, and mystery. Le Fanu infuses his book with a sense of the miraculous!It is impossible to express how refreshing I found this beautifully written and profound book!The fact that these rarely stated realities are so superbly brought to life here makes this a brave, brilliant and fascinating book.' Tim Lott, Sunday Telegraph '"Why Us?" explores the fascinating ramifications of these insights, from explaining the gaps in the theory of evolution to re-examining the notion of a human soul. Le Fanu's argument is simple and compelling; a bold attempt to reunite science with a sense of wonder.' Sunday Times 'Enthralling!One of the glories of Le Fanu's scientifically erudite and beautifully written book is that such a sense of wonder is evident on every page, even as he lucidly analyses the limitations of that narrow intellectual prison in which science has languished too long.' Christopher Booker, Spectator
