The Universe and Eye
Making Sense of the New Science
by Timothy Ferris
Illustrations by Ingram Pinn

Are you afraid of big bangs? Confounded by quarks? Do you feel lost in
virtual reality? Ferris and Pinn demystify these and many other ideas and
innovations of "new Science" in this book, answering with wit and insight
all those questions you've always thought you didn't know enough to ask. The
sixty topics and their corresponding illustrations explore subjects ranging
from the benefits as well as the hazards posed by technology; the greenhouse
effect and other pressing problems of pollution and urban expansion; the
limits of artificial intelligence; the intriguing possibility of creating
and sustaining life in space; the value of scientific reasoning; and the
ethical questions at the heart of many new scientific methods and
discoveries.
