{"product_id":"the-accidental-universe-the-world-you-thought-you-knew","title":"The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You Knew","description":"The bestselling author of Einsteins Dreams explores the emotional and philosophical questions raised by recent discoveries in science with passion and curiosity.\n\nHe looks at the dialogue between science and religion; the conflict between our human desire for permanence and the impermanence of nature; the possibility that our universe is simply an accident; the manner in which modern technology has separated us from direct experience of the world; and our resistance to the view that our bodies and minds can be explained by scientific logic and laws.\n\nBehind all of these considerations is the suggestion--at once haunting and exhilarating--that what we see and understand of the world is only a tiny piece of the extraordinary, perhaps unfathomable whole.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 034580595X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.034580595X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lightman, Alan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: A well-loved companion.
