Somehow, this book just was not as compelling or interesting as Sobel’s terriffic “Longitude.” This may have something to do with the letter format, which is distancing and rather off-putting.

The more books I read like this one, the more amazed I am that science has progressed at all, considering the dominance of religion, ignorance, intolerance and gullibility throughout human history.
