"All natural change is subject to one law. It’s the second law of thermodynamics. In this volume, the acclaimed chemist and science writer P. W. Atkins shows how this single, simple principle of energy transformation accounts for all natural change...full of vivid examples, ideas, and images—but virtually no mathematics."

The Age of Reason, in Saul’s view, has brought too much certainty to today’s world, from politicians who think themselves the panacea for the world’s ills to a populace mesmerized by the authority of "experts." As he suggests, ‘we must alter our civilization from one of answers to one which feels satisfaction, not anxiety, when doubt is established.’"
