註釋

These 35 essays by astrophysicist Dyson on the faces of science and its practitioners, and on the ethical dilemmas surrounding science and the human condition are grouped loosely into stories, things, institutions, politics, books, and people. The volume includes fascinating accounts of specific projects, plausible but ingenious "story" creations, and glimpses of encounters between Dyson and other significant figures in 20th-century science. Among his deeply held and vehemently argued convictions are the urgency of taking immediate action to preserve Gaia, our living planet by planting trees and managing wetlands; and the need for institutions supporting research, be they academic or governmental, to allow and encourage dissension, originality, and eccentricity.
