Reviews
This is a small collection of eight short essays on science and technology, which were presented as lecture-style discourses at the Royal Institution in London. The intention was to make the lectures available to a larger audience. This book is directed to anyone, lay or scientist, with an interest in reading a wide variety of popularized scientific topics. Of the eight essays, two are medical, one a somewhat superficial treatise on degenerative brain diseases and the other on asthma and allergies as disorders of civilization. The essays are invariably interesting and . . . well written. It popularizes various aspects of the whole range of science without compromising their integrity. -- Gene Ball, Doody's Electronic Journal
