- Information
Description
Curious Minds is a book of original, autobiographical essays by twenty-seven scientists, including Paul Davies, Richard Dawkins, Daniel C.
Dennett, Freeman Dyson, Murray Gell-Mann, Nicholas Humphrey, Lynn Margulis, Steven Pinker and Robert M.
Sapolsky. Each writer attempts to identify that moment or those influences in his or her youth which triggered the determination to become a scientist.
Was there a particular event or set of circumstances?
To what extent did parents, peers of teachers contribute?
Why mathematics rather than psychology; why biology rather than physics?
What were the turning points, mistakes, epiphanies? Personal, passionate, revealing, enthralling, Curious Minds tells as much about life as it does about science.
