"Each of the dozen essays in this far-ranging collection could be expanded into a book...Analogizing to striking effect, Callahan conveys both science and sympathy. It is hard to think of a type of reader who wouldn't be intrigued by this fascinating book."--Booklist"Callahan is a Carl Sagan, an Isaac Asimov of our times."--Albuquerque Journal
