The Fire in the Equations by Kitty Ferguson
Heralded for its readability and scholarship, The Fire in the Equations offers a fascinating discussion of scientific discoveries and their impact on our beliefs. The books title is derived from Dr. Stephen Hawkings pondering, What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?
“ In this beautifully and intelligently written book, Ferguson not only reports on some of the intellectual tremors jolting the world of thinking women and men, but also considers the basic questions with penetrating analysis, yet at a very readable level. . . An excellent book.”
