The listing, PARADIGMS LOST Images of Man in the Mirror of Science by John L. Casti has ended.
First line inside dustcover: "John Casti's Paradigms Lost presents a masterful, easy-to-grasp overview of science's answers to the great questions as we understand them today. The heart of the book consists of six chapters, each devoted to a case study of one of the major mysteries of modern science: the origin of life on planet Earth, the real sources of human behavior and social patterns, how we acquire language, the fundamental nature of our thinking processes, the possible existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, the impact of our own scrutiny on what we observe as real."
