Time for books

by Andrea Deakin

“Sciencescape’’ (Suzuki, Blohm & Harris: Oxford:

$24.95) could best be described as ‘landscape with
scientific analysis’. The book covers the provinces
and territories of Canada with beautiful, sensitive
photography by Hans Blohm. To this David Suzuki
and Marjorie Harris have added a description of the
area indicating its formation, analysis of the natural
forces at work, and warnings, where applicable, of
the possiblity of ecological damage due to pollution
or the re-organization of land forms.
_ Beautiful and interesting the book certainly is,
_ however it is only a brief introduction — an ap-
petizer. Like most appetizers it does not really
satisfy, because there is not enough to explain, just
enough to encourage a desire for more explanation.
Undoubtedly this is David Suzuki’s intent — to
stimulate concern for the environment, and en-
courage the reader’s active involvement in its protec-
tion.

“The Second Creation” (Robert Crease and
Charles Mann: Collier Macmillan: $38.95) is one of
the most fascinating books I have ever read. It is an
account of the twentieth century physicists who have
been absorbed in this century’s quest to understand
the fundamental principles of matter and energy.
People like Einstein, Bohr, Planck and Weinberg.
Since the breakthroughs of the late 19th and early
20th centuries scientists have been pushing their way
closer to the desired goal — a theory that explains ali
matter and energy, a theory which would explain and
encompass all the amazing discoveries of this period
— a Theory of Everything — a Unification Theory.
This book is bound for wide popularity, for it not on-
ly makes the work of these men acessible to the
layman, but explains it, and describes its authors in
very human terms. As always Chance and Oppor-
tunity had a great deal to do with success, genius may
be 95 percent persperation and 5 percent inspiration
— but it also requires the ability to recognize and
seize on the chance event. That is part of what makes
this book so fascinating. I highly recommend it.
