Sintesi dell'editore
A sterling roster of natural and social scientists in conversation with top-flight journalist Stefan Klein - shedding new light on their work, their lives, and what they still hope to discover.
When acclaimed science writer Stefan Klein asks Nobel Prize-winning chemist Roald Hoffmann what sets scientists apart, Hoffmann says, "First and foremost, curiosity." In this collection of intimate conversations with 19 of the world's best-known scientists (including three Nobel Laureates), 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" to the jazz musicians who gave psychologist Alison Gopnik new insight into raising children, these scientists explain how they find inspiration everywhere. Hear from renowned scientists including: evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins on selfishness, anthropologist Sarah Hrdy on motherhood, primatologist Jane Goodall on animal behavior, neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran on consciousness, geographer Jared Diamond on chance in history, and many other luminaries.

Great People, Great Science, Great Scientists
The book is a collection of interviews with some of the well known scientists of our era from across many fields.
It is clear these guys know what they're talking about. They are true experts choosing their words very carefully and in doing so engage the listeners in understanding their science. Made easy to appreciate by those who are not experts.
I wish more scientists were interviewed in this age of scientific breakthroughs, and for those that have the interview could have been longer, but that would be asking too much for one book. Great read.

Great idea, disappointing execution
I very much enjoyed what there was in this book. My dissatisfaction is with what was not there. The author had something like five hours of conversation with each of the people he interviewed. The edited and abridged transcripts we have here, while intriguing and tasty, left me hungry for a real meal.

A chat with the world's best minds
Each chapter is a new conversation with a brilliant mind, on a new topic. You will learn, question, think, grow, and connect personally with how these great minds think.

There are Nobel prize winners and there are Nobel prize winners
It is a unique collection of interview of famous scientists from a wide range of fields.
It is clear that everyone is different and is informed with own experience, culture and humility.
Overall worthy and rewarding eight hours of listening!
Thanks

Inspired!
Brilliant! The interviewer is un afraid to ask the simple questions to the brilliantly minded. Which makes the complicated concepts accessible to all.

Interviewer boring, scientists interesting
Got the uneasy feeling that the interviewier was trying to catch the scientists lying. Much unnecessary arguing when the scientist is the actual specialist in the field. Well narrated.

Not a comfortable listen
The content of the conversations was interesting enough. However, the presentation and, in particular, the performances were unnatural and sounded artificial.

Interviews with the biggest names in science
Loved this. Some of the biggest names in science were interviewed for this. Interesting to hear, though it's not their actual voices. I may listen to it again. Some of the interviews were a bit rubbish and uninformative. But most were great. For more detailed and informative interviews, I recommend theoretical physicist Sean Carroll 's podcast.
