Synopsis of Late Night Thoughts on Listening to Mahler's Ninth Symphony

En esta magnífica colección de ensayos, el científico y escritor ganador del National Book Award, Lewis Thomas, nos ofrece reflexiones que siguen siendo sorprendentemente relevantes en el mundo actual. Luminous, ingenioso y provocador, los ensayos abordan temas como 'El ático del cerebro', 'Falsedad y fracaso', 'Altruismo' y los efectos que el abandono virtual del gobierno federal al apoyo a la investigación científica básica tendrá en la medicina y la ciencia. Thomas cuestiona la locura del armamento nuclear, mostrando que el poder intelectual y el dinero gastado en este esfuerzo se necesitan con más urgencia para la ciencia básica que hemos abandonado, y que incluso los procedimientos más avanzados de la medicina serían inútiles o insuficientes frente a la más pequeña detonación nuclear. Y en el ensayo que da título al libro, se dirige con terrible intensidad a la cuestión de cómo es ser joven en la era nuclear.
