Publisher's Note
Bolles scoured literature of science--from ancient to present--to find best-written pieces by leading scientists and writers, including Marie Curie, Charles Darwin, Carl Sagan, Galileo and others. Eclectic collection features science's finest for novices and aficionados alike.

Marie Curie reminisces about her and her husband's efforts to isolate radium...Herodotus makes prescient observations about the Nile Valley...Carl Sagan argues against assertions that aliens regularly visit Earth. These are among the literary gems Edmund Blair Bolles includes in GALILEO'S COMMANDMENT: AN ANTHOLOGY OF GREAT SCIENCE WRITING, now available in paperback. For this anthology, Bolles scoured the literature of science across the disciplines from its ancient origins to the present to find the best-written pieces by leading scientists and writers. Readers will find the work of a number of scientists already well-know as authors (Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Feynman, Charles Darwin, Primo Levi, Isaac Asimov), plus a great many who are more likely read about than read (Johannes Kepler, James Clerk Maxwell, Alfred Wallace, Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, and, of course Galileo himself).

Industry Reviews
"...reading this Anthology of Great Science Writing is a wonderful opportunity, not only to see science writing as literature, but to see the connections between science and philosophy, science and history, going back to early times."
Horwitz

"The worlds of literature and science come together in this fascinating collection. Read Herodotus on geology, Primi Levi on carbon and Werner Heisenberg on cause and effect. You'll also find writings by scientists rarely represented in their own words: from Marie Curie to Galileo himself."
Harper's - W. H. Freeman (10/19/1999)
