How Pop Physics Snuck Into Our Belief Systems
The modern genre of pop cosmology began with the big bang of Stephen Hawking’s 1988 megabestseller, A Brief History of Time. Since then, world-class physicists like Michio Kaku, Steven Weinberg, and Freeman Dyson, who died earlier this year at the age of 96, have earned wider fame by writing popular accounts of fundamental physical concepts: […]

This sound divine makes the seeker free,Then in maya's clasp he shall no more be. That poem is a free rendering by the Himalayan Yogi Swami Rama of verse by the great Indian poet Kabir. The painting above portrays Kabir; it is by the contemporary Indian artist Arpana Caur; as are all the other graphics.

This comes from long-established publishing house John Murray, and has commensurate high design values and sharp sub-editing. Long […]
