While this book is aimed at novices, those familiar with modern physics can still enjoy reading how a theoretical physicist thinks about the basics. But for the most part, the author strikes a nice Goldilocksian balance between simplicity and comprehension. Wilczek beautifully shows how physicists expanded this vision over the decades to cover the other forces of nature: gravity, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. ![]() In this age of rising skepticism, he wants his readers - whom he imagines to be lawyers, doctors, artists, parents or simply curious people - to be 'born again, in the way of science.'. Wilczek talks about modern physics and cosmology from a more broad-brush and philosophical perspective, often linking their findings to the real world - how they affect us. With his clear and joyful voice, Wilczek succeeds very well, and for good reason: Your guide is a Nobel laureate who has solved several problems in modern physics, including how the strong nuclear force operates. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However, things get worse and certainly weirder when many of them begin to develop strange powers. Nicknamed the FAYZ by resident jerk Howard, the children try to figure out how to escape.

Still, Gone is a must read that introduces us to the world of the Fallout Alley Youth Zone (FAYZ). Not to say it is bad or anything, but the other books just had better story telling. ![]() The first book in the series, Gone is definitely the weakest of the books. I have never been more excited for a book release than I am now for Monster so, in anticipation for its release, I will be reviewing the entirety of the Gone series from Gone all the way to Light.

The six part Gone series is my favourite book series of all time and consists of the books Gone, Hunger, Lies, Plague, Fear and Light. In less than a month, Michael Grant’s follow up to the epic Gone series, Monster will hit the shelves. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sorprendentes paralelismos ocultos entre los grabados de Escher y la música de Bach nos remiten a las paradojas clásicas de los antiguos griegos y a un teorema de la lógica matemática moderna que ha estremecido el pensamiento del siglo XX : el de Kurt Gödel. Hofstadter, joven y ya célebre científico, nos abre la puerta del enigma con la belleza y la alegría creadora de su estilo. Investigar este misterio es una aventura que recorre la matemática, la física, la biología, la psicología y muy especialmente, el lenguaje. ¿Puede un sistema comprenderse a sí mismo ? Si esta pregunta se refiere a la mente humana, entonces nos encontramos ante una cuestión clave del pensamiento científico. ![]() |
