Galileo's Commandment: An Anthology of Great Science Writing edited by Edmund Blair Bolles W. H. Freeman, $26.95 A bumper collection that ranges widely across time and disciplines, from
Herodotus on the Nile Valley to Isaac Asimov on death in the laboratory. The editor, who introduces each piece, divides the book into three parts: an opening section in which scientists try
to understand science, a long middle section that shows how the scientific imagination attempts to understand nature, and a third section in which writers transform scientific efforts into
literary achievements.
Great Essays in Science edited by Martin Gardner OUP, £8.99 (pbk) First published in 1957 and later reissued under the title The Sacred Beetle and Other Great Essays in Science, this
anthology aims, in Gardner's words, “to spread before the reader, whether his or her interest in science be passionate or mild, a sumptuous feast of great writing — absorbing,
thought-disturbing pieces that have something important to say about science and say it forcibly and well”. “There are many pleasurable surprises in this highly individual selection”, wrote
Nature's reviewer of an earlier edition.
