Completely fascinating' William Boyd\n\nSometimes discovery brings destruction\n\nWhen We Cease to Understand the World shows us great minds striking out into dangerous, uncharted terrain.\n\nFritz Haber, Alexander Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger: these are among the luminaries into whose troubled minds we are thrust as they grapple with the most profound questions of existence. They have strokes of unparalleled genius, they alienate friends and lovers, they descend into isolated states of madness. Some of their discoveries revolutionise our world for the better; others pave the way to chaos and unimaginable suffering. The lines are never clear.\n\nWith breakneck pace and wondrous detail, Benjamín Labatut uses the imaginative resources of fiction to break open the stories of scientists and mathematicians who expanded our notions of the possible.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1782276149\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1782276149.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Labatut  Benjamin\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: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
