Well, yes, as I said on Petrona, it is short.I have nothing against Levi - he is good, I think.But best science book ever? No, surely not.
I'm with you on this, Maxine. I mean there's not only Darwin, but Newton's Principia - and Copernicus. And are we going for readable or just significant or both?
Interesting.It's a great book, but the best science book EVER? Hmn. hard to justify that. There are so many more pure science books I'd nominate.Very high on the list would be:Benoit Mandlerbrot, The Fractal Geometry of Nature
