'Carlo Rovelli's imaginative rigour, his lively humour and his beautiful writing are inspiring' Erica Wagner
One of the most inspiring thinkers of our age, the bestselling author ofSeven Brief Lessons on Physicstransforms the way we think about the world with his reflections on science, history and humanity
In this collection of writings, the logbook of an intelligence always on the move, Carlo Rovelli follows his curiosity and invites us on a voyage through science, history, philosophy and politics.
Written with his usual clarity and wit, these pieces range widely across time and space: from Newton's alchemy to Einstein's mistakes, from Nabokov's butterflies to Dante's cosmology, from travels in Africa to the consciousness of an octopus, from mind-altering psychedelic substances to the meaning of atheism.
Charming, pithy and elegant, this book is the perfect gateway to the universe of one of the most influential scientists of our age.

With the publication of his million-selling bookSeven Brief Lessons on Physics,Rovelli took his place with Stephen Hawking and Richard Feynman as one of the great popularisers of modern theoretical physics
TheMeditationsof Marcus Aurelius for our age
Modern physics has found its poet. . . Rovelli is a wonderfully humane, gentle and witty guide for he is as much philosopher and poet as he is a scientist
The most fun physicist to be with -- as well asthe greatest explainer of physics
A joy of a book - enriching, illuminating, eclectic and far from a conventional science read. . . showcases the light and shade of Rovelli's writing, and the passion for knowledge and curiosity that make him such an engaging writer . . . We need more Rovellis
Rovelli is a brilliant and lucid teacherwho uses his understanding of theoretical physics and the quantum world to talk about the complexity of our everyday reality
This short collection of writings hassomething to offer for avid admirers of his work and new Rovelli readers alike
It remains rare for even the most talented science writers to fuse their work with a deep knowledge of the arts. One such rarity is Carlo Rovelli who, like some intellectual throwback to antiquity, treats the sciences and the humanities as complementary areas of knowledge and is a subtle interpreter of both. . .These finely wrought essays draw on an impressive hinterland of cultural and scientific learning. . . an entertaining and enlightening journey
Rovelli opens windows onto the imagination for all of us
Carlo Rovelli,one of our age's most inspiring thinkers, offers intellectual adventures for the curious
Carlo Rovelli is a genius and an amazing communicator... What I love about his writing is that it always comes back to people -- people interacting with other people, who are interacting with their world. This is the place where science comes to life
Carlo Rovelli's imaginative rigour, his lively humour and his beautiful writing are inspiring
Illuminating, thought-provoking and suffused with a passion for knowledge and ideas, it is an eclectic and far from conventional science read or gift
Rovelli is a masterful short story teller... this book is a joy to read
A wonderfully discursive and pertinent book that stands as a celebration of the life of the mind and the gifts of an open curiosity
