Thomas, Lewis Late Night Thoughts on Listening to Mahler's Ninth Symphony
New York, New York, U.S.A. Viking Press 1983 0670703907 / 9780670703906 Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine
Very-nice, clean condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Price inside dustcover:$12.95. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 168 pages. Dustcover is clean (NO tears). Synopsis This magnificent collection of essays by scientist and National Book Award-winning writer Lewis Thomas remains startlingly relevant for today's world. Luminous, witty, and provocative, the essays address such topics as "The Attic of the Brain," "Falsity and Failure," "Altruism," and the effects of the federal government's virtual abandonment of support for basic scientific research will have on medicine and science. Profoundly and powerfully, Thomas questions the folly of nuclear weaponry, showing that the brainpower and money spent on this endeavor are needed much more urgently for the basic science we have abandoned--and that even medicine's most advanced procedures would be useless or insufficient in the face of the smallest nuclear detonation. And in the title essay, he addresses himself with terrifying poignancy to the question of what it is like to be young in the nuclear age. Annotation A collection of provocative essays by the bestselling author of The Lives of the Cell and The Youngest Science
