        On the Amazement of the World

        (Im-)Possibilities of science

        by Ernst Peter Fischer

In times when emotions and appeals to baser instincts often triumph over reason and humanity, Ernst Peter Fischer reminds us of the goal of science that has been pursued since the Enlightenment: “to facilitate the conditions of human existence”. In his new book, the bestselling author takes us on an instructive, varied and enjoyable journey through the history of knowledge and science.
