Review:

This is sort of mishmash of topics.  It is a collection of a series of articles.  The thoughts are broad and one must keep in mind that this is a physicist who is trying to understand the world.  This venture into other areas has some hits and some misses.  Rovelli is a rather complex thinking and articulates his thoughts well.  These articles are not meant to be convincing (I think), but seem more like ideas thrown out on the tide of humanity for us to consider.  For that purpose, I can recommend the book.
