Published Oct. 17, 2018

 Third Thoughts (Belknap Press) is a wide-ranging meditation on science and society by the winner of the Nobel laureate in Physics Steven Weinberg *57. Touching on everything from quantum mechanics and the history of science to the harms of inequality and importance of public goods, Weinberg presents his thoughts in as accessible a manner as in his last book, To Explain the World: The Discovery of Modern Science.
