I almost didn't read this because I read the blurb and realized that I am already basically familiar with most of these experiments, but . . . this book was amazing. She doesn't just recount the experiments but provides excellent backstory and context. She also considers the philosophical implications of the experiments. And she is a truly gifted writer. So this one is highly, highly recommended.
BestBooks is a record of all of the books that I have read since November 2004, with brief descriptions and reviews.
