Trade Review
"Martin Rees provides sage advice on why and about what scientists should communicate with the rest of society, and what they might expect in return. He also offers a wonderful sampling of what we now know, don’t know, and likely won’t know from scientific study—now and in the future." -- Alan Leshner, chief executive officer, American Association for the Advancement of Science
"We finesse our relationship to a dangerous and glorious world through science. As no one else can, Martin Rees finesses our relationship to science." -- Stewart Brand, founder of the Whole Earth Catalog and author of Whole Earth Discipline
"[A] pithy explanation of the role of science in the global economy." -- The Times
"An absorbing summation of the state of science today." -- BBC Focus
