"An urgent essay that bears all the marks of a final philosophical raging against the dying of the light." --Newsweek

"Brilliant and challenging...adds another bit of reason to balance destruction...It is, in the best sense of the words, both scientific and philosophical...of the highest importance." --Los Angeles Times
