Summary
From the best-selling author of Einstein's Dreams comes this lyrical and insightful collection of science writing that delves into the mysteries of the scientific process - physics, astronomy, mathematics - and exposes its beauty and intrigue.
In these brilliant essays, Lightman explores the emotional life of science, the power of imagination, the creative moment, and the alternate ways in which scientists and humanists think about the world. Along the way, he provides in-depth portraits of some of the great geniuses of our time, including Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, Edward Teller, and astronomer Vera Rubin. Thoughtful, beautifully written, and wonderfully original, A Sense of the Mysterious confirms Alan Lightman's unique position at the crossroads of science and art.

Space Opera!
Loved it!
Wonderfully irritating characters (for all the right reasons), all with their own quirks & flaws. Light relief & very easy to listen to. Not the usual battle hardened, bad-as space marines (yawn!) for a change*****

Great book
I really like how the author put his views and also provided points of view of other scientist in the same book. Definitely enjoyed this one.

Dull!
One of the most uninspiring books I've ever had the misfortune to listen to. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
