The Fevers of Reason features some of his best and most representative works, alongside eleven new essays that have never before been published in book form. Masterfully drawing from an array of subject areas and time periods, he tackles everything from Ebola to Eisenhower, Zika to Zola, Darwin to Dawkins, and once again shows that he is one of the most important voices in humanistic science writing today"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 500 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList
