A great crop of paperbacks for the spring holiday includes Robin Dunbar鈥檚 The
Trouble with Science (Faber & Faber, 拢7.99/$12.95, ISBN 0 571
17448 5) as he attempts to bridge an 鈥渋nformation gap of potentially disastrous
proportions鈥�: that between what the public understand science to be and what
scientists actually do and how they do it. You could also try the dissident
views of F. David Peat in Blackfoot Physics (Fourth Estate, 拢7.99, ISBN 1
85702 456 7). Described in our original review as 鈥渢he modern version of The Tao
of Physics鈥�, he looks at other views of the cosmos, delighting in the way that
traditional ideas from cultures such as that of the Blackfoot in North America
reveal concepts that modern physicists find familiar.
