The author--an experienced reporter/editor and an exceptionally skillful writer--has undertaken to acquaint general readers with the exciting substance of a nest of concepts which have, in the past decade or so, taken the scientific world by storm with the remarkable individuals responsible for that development. It's an absorbing tale, brilliantly told.
