About this product
Product Information
From Jim Holt, the New York Times bestselling author of Why Does the World Exist? , comes an entertaining and accessible guide to the most profound scientific and mathematical ideas of recent centuries in When Einstein Walked with G del Excursions to the Edge of Thought . Does time exist? What is infinity? Why do mirrors reverse left and right but not up and down? In this scintillating collection, Holt explores the human mind, the cosmos, and the thinkers who've tried to encompass the latter with the former. With his trademark clarity and humor, Holt probes the mysteries of quantum mechanics, the quest for the foundations of mathematics, and the nature of logic and truth. Along the way, he offers intimate biographical sketches of celebrated and neglected thinkers, from the physicist Emmy Noether to the computing pioneer Alan Turing and the discoverer of fractals, Benoit Mandelbrot. Holt offers a painless and playful introduction to many of our most beautiful but least understood ideas, from Einsteinian relativity to string theory, and also invites us to consider why the greatest logician of the twentieth century believed the U.S. Constitution contained a terrible contradiction--and whether the universe truly has a future.

Reviews
"In these pieces, plucked from the last 20 years, Holt takes on infinity and the infinitesimal, the illusion of time, the birth of eugenics, the so-called new atheism, smartphones and distraction. It is an elegant history of recent ideas . . . Holt is an amphibious kind of writer, so capably slipping from theology to cosmology to poetry, you're reminded that specialization is a modern invention." --Parul Sehgal, The New York Times "Jim Holt . . . is one of the very best modern science writers." --Steven Poole, The Wall Street Journal "Science writing of the caliber on display in When Einstein Walked with Gödel is a boon in these times of looming scientific illiteracy. Holt makes his recondite subjects seem not only fascinating but fun." -- Steve Donoghue, The Christian Science Monitor "[A] fantastic essay collection [filled] with stories about eccentric geniuses and groundbreaking ideas at the intersection of science and philosophy . . . Holt delivers this feast of wild genius, oddball thinkers, and sheer creativity in his signature accessible style of writing and playful tone." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), "Holt ....performs his observational comedy within the realm of the higher sciences -- math, theoretical physics, philosophy -- but gives us enough setup that we're in on the joke . . . I don't know of another writer quite like him . . . When Einstein presents a remarkably unified sensibility . . . I found Holt's essay on the Riemann hypothesis to be totally charming. In fact, this was my experience for nearly the whole book. In piece after piece, Holt acts as a model host, giving us only the best bits while paring away most difficulties . . . It's a perfect bedtime book, with each essay providing a luminous devotional on weighty topics, delivered with a light touch." --David Kordahl, Los Angeles Review of Books "I've just discovered the brilliant essays of Jim Holt . . . When Einstein Walked with Gödel: Excursions to the Edge of Thought . . . offers lucid and entertaining accounts of deep problems in physics, maths and philosophy." --Martin Rees, Physics World "A smart, erudite, and witty guided tour of some of the most colorful episodes and characters in the history of science and mathematics." --Jimena Canales, Undark "These are bold, thought-provoking pieces . . . Stories of real humans and their mathematical, physical and philosophical theories--some of the most complex ever devised." -- Andrew Jaffe, Nature "In these pieces, plucked from the last 20 years, Holt takes on infinity and the infinitesimal, the illusion of time, the birth of eugenics, the so-called new atheism, smartphones and distraction.

And they also possess a special quality: reading them is like getting a joke--beyond the words, there''s a sense of revelation and unity, ours to enjoy." -- Edward Frenkel, Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, and author of Love & Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality "Jim Holt not only has an unerring sense for locating the most interesting questions lying on the borders of philosophy, science, and mathematics; he also has a talent for expressing the human and emotional dimensions of the life of the mind. The blend goes toward making When Einstein Walked with Gödel an unusually absorbing and stimulating collection of essays." --Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex: Why Philosophy Won''t Go Away, "I've just discovered the brilliant essays of Jim Holt . . .

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
