Present at the Future

For more than 30 years, Ira Flatow has interviewed Nobel winners and experts like E.O Wilson and Carl Sagan on NPR. In this book, he gives us the best of what he's learned from those conversations, investigating such areas as Cosmology, Brain Frontiers, Alternative Energy, Global Warming, Nanotechnology, and much more. In each chapter, he highlights the pioneers that have made the science possible, what it means to our everyday lives, and where we go from here. From dark matter and the human consciousness to the mechanics of flight, Present at the Future reveals the mysteries of today's science and technology that is ever present in our lives.
