[Translated by Ross Benjamin] [Read by Gildart Jackson, Simon Vance, Kate Reading, Sean Runnette] In this collection of intimate conversations with nineteen of the world's best-known scientists (including three Nobel Laureates), acclaimed science writer Stefan Klein lets us listen in as today's leading minds reveal what they still hope to discover-- and how their paradigm-changing work entwines with their lives outside the lab. From the sports car that physicist Steven Weinberg says helped him on his quest for ''the theory of everything''Â to the jazz musicians who gave psychologist Alison Gopnik new insight into raising children, these scientists explain how they find inspiration everywhere.
