Summary: Psuedoscience at best
Comment: Yup, it's entertaining, but I doubt the "science" behind the entertainment. Fun thoughts (ramblings?) on various issues, all eventually pertaining to what it means to be "human". I finished the first few essays and gave up. Now it sits by my bedstand when I'm in between books and in need of sleep.

Summary: Entertaining essays on science
Comment: The only reason I bought this book was because of the title. Saw it in the bookstore and I just had to have it. Fortunately I wasn't disappointed. The title essay is an entertaining read on modeling heat transfer of a pizza. For young scientists, it's a very good tutorial on the process of developing models of real life situations. Worth the price of the book by itself. The remaining essays diverge to cover a wide range of sciency topics, most of which are worth a read.

Summary: Thought provoking antidotes that will amuse and enlighten
Comment: This collection of essays has something for everyone, interested in the sciences. Harold Morowitz's wit and wisdom make hard to understand subjects easy to comprehend. From brownian movement as it relates to the stock market to as the tittle suggests the insulating value of pizza crust this book is a winner.
