A great crop of paperbacks for the spring holiday includes Robin Dunbar’s The
Trouble with Science (Faber & Faber, 拢7.99/$12.95, ISBN 0 571
17448 5) as he attempts to bridge an “information gap of potentially disastrous
proportions”: that between what the public understand science to be and what
scientists actually do and how they do it. You could also try the dissident
views of F. David Peat in Blackfoot Physics (Fourth Estate, 拢7.99, ISBN 1
85702 456 7). Described in our original review as “the modern version of The Tao

traditional ideas from cultures such as that of the Blackfoot in North America
reveal concepts that modern physicists find familiar.
