"A curation of essays penned by Jeremy Bernstein, this book is a treasure trove of
personal stories ranging from Bernstein's expedition to Mount Everest, cherished encounters
with the fathers of Quantum Mechanics (Werner Heisenberg, Paul Dirac and Erwin Schrodinger),
to a jovial collaboration with Freeman Dyson on the Orion spaceship project. This
essay collection is a door into several pieces of scientific explorations as well
as the celebrated life of Jeremy Bernstein, a physicist, professor and phenomenal
writer. Readers will enjoy this book as both an autobiography and a popular science
reading"
