I'm not entirely sure what i expected from this book when I picked it up. As anyone who knows me knows science and poetry are two of my favourite things and when combined into scientific poetry I lose the ability to function as a normal human being. So maybe in that respect I was disappointed by the book and it's lack of scientific poetry, but it talked about far more important things.
I'm particularly impressed by it's length. It covers huge ideas in a very short space. I found that it was more science oriented than I might have liked it to be. I would have like to see more of a synthesis, though that would have been impossible given the length of the conversation.
Both men are extremely well spoken and touch on the most important issues facing the sciences, the humanities, and ecology; education, and what can be done about it.
I also found both Hass and Wilson's book suggestions extremely interesting, as they are books I often recommend.
This short conversation is an excellent jumping off point for a larger discussion and research base.
I rate this book 10 out of 10. It was a joy to read and everything that one would expect from Hass and Wilson. I highly recommend this short conversation to anyone who is interested in science and its place within our society.
