As founder of both charitable and technical businesses, the author leads us to places of the greatest despair and the greatest power on earth. There we meet amazing examples of good and evil, interwoven with contemporary scientists own searches for meaning, explaining faith and love, truth and life, time and order and beauty. The things we hold sacred are real, after all. For readers unfulfilled by either conventional religions or scientific materialism; parents, teachers, and leaders struggling to reconcile peace with power and beauty with truth.
