Glorious Accident - Understanding Our Place in the Cosmic Puzzle

This extraordinary set brings together some of the greatest scientific thinkers of our day, recording their thoughts, their speculations, their questions on man's place in the cosmic puzzle. Having had their individual say, Oliver Sacks, Stephen Jay Gould, Freeman Dyson, Rupert Sheldrake, Daniel C. Dennett and Stephen Toulmin are then brought together where, sitting around a table, they catalyze on another's thinking, leap-frogging to new ideas and new questions. The Big Bang is, after all, a marvelous theory, but how many coincidences did it take to go from the original black hole to a Mozart symphony? 7 Volume Series.
