Reviews

I found every chapter stimulating, thought provoking, wide ranging, philosophically sensitive, and thoroughly enjoyable... This is a book inspired by a genuine passion for the light that science can cast and which spans many of the great questions of being with an understated, controlled, spiritual, optimism. The Times Higher Education Supplement on the hardback 'Layzer certainly has a great deal to say that is interesting and thought-provoking, specifically on thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.' Charles Jenkins, The Observatory, Vol. 112, No. 1109, August 1992 'any well-written, authoritative, wide-ranging book, explaining and relating developments in a variety of fields, is to be welcomed ... David Layzer's book, Cosmogenesis, fills all these criteria ... there are lots of well presented facts in this book' E. Squires, Contemporary Physics, 1992, volume 33, number 3
