The World Treasury of Physics Astronomy and Mathematics has been edited by Timothy Ferris with a Foreword by Clifton Fadiman. The works of luminaries such as George Gamow, Albert Einstein, Paul Dirac, Max Planck, Isaac Asimov, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Alan Turing and more are included. Many pieces artfully juxtaposed to explore the several sides of such labyrinthine issues as the nature of time and space, origin and structure of the universe, and the enigma and grandeur of mathematics highlight the text. It is a towering exploration of physics, astronomy and mathematics.
