Book Description
"Occasionally, there comes along a popular science book that both scientists and non-scientist can read with pleasure and profit, and this is one."—The New Yorker
Devoted to sharing their own delight and awe before the fundamental mysteries of the cosmos, Frank Wilczek (winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics) and science writer Betsy Devine also have a serious purpose: to reveal to the lay reader how a heightened perception can respond to timeless themes of the physical universe. For example, they show that even the most exotic theories always confirm that physical laws are precisely the same throughout the universe, and they explain how we have learned that the most massive molten stars and the tinest frozen particles are in physical harmony. In their descriptions of the workings of the half-known universe, Wilczek and Devine bring all of us face to face with the beauty of eternal order and the inevitability of rational ends and beginnings.

A good time will be had by all........2005-02-02
Longing for the Harmonies is subtitled "Themes and variations from modern physics". I would have added "and beyond": I doubt there's another popularization of quantum mechanics and particle physics that also touches upon Keats, ancient Babylon and child psychology, to name but a few.
The book actually strikes me as two intertwined books. First, there are the "preludes" which are thought-provoking excursions here, there and everywhere. At times they seem quite off the wall and impossibly far from fundamental physics, but they always whet the appetite for what's to come, a bit like (to use the musical analogy which is the book's main metaphor) a solo which seems out of place until it ties back into the main body of the song.
Second, the "main body" of the book, although also laden with references and analogies from far and wide, exposes and (in so far as is possible!) demystifies quantum mechanics and fundamental physics in all its glory, both the large (cosmology and astrophysics) and the small (atoms and subatomic particles). The two domains, of course, are intimately related: the early Universe, devoid of complicated structures such as planets, stars and human beings, was a soup of elementary particles, and its evolution (and, perhaps, birth) was dictated by rules of the game established by particle physics.
A review wouldn't be a review without at least a minor complaint; not an easy task with this book, but here is mine: the table of contents strikes me as a bit too cryptic. Chapter headings such as "Inevitability" or "Radical uniformity in microcosm" do little to explain what the chapter is about; more straightforward headings would probably help guide the reader through the grand tour they are on and help them get a sense of perspective of how the different subject inter-relate. Fortunately, the remaining three hundred-odd pages of the book are packed with enjoyable reading.
Among the many, many gems in the book are a musical analogy of why particle physics doesn't obviate all of macroscopic physics, the "lave" concept (a combination of "lump" and "wave" descrbing the dual nature of matter), and a personal account of the discovery of a cornerstone of the interaction between quarks and gluons known as asymptotic freedom (for which one of the authors was co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in physics last year). But open the book just about anywhere and it's a good bet that you will find a fascinating take on something -- whether from particle physics or beyond. Give it a whirl!
always one of my favorites.......2005-01-22
This has long been one of my favorite expositions on the nature of science, written by scientists. Wilczek and Devine present one of the most creative and playful discussions of physics, from the basic to the forefront that I have seen. I am very happy that this book has been re-released because now many more people will have an opportunity to share the joy I had reading it.
Long for Harmony No More!.......2005-01-19
Longing for the Harmonies: That's what physicists do. This book, in fact, pretty much sums up what physics is, at heart, about: a search for connection and clarity, a series of variations on themes, the interplay of tension and release, mystery and discovery--the universe's own fugue. Frank Wilczek-who recently won the Nobel prize for puzzling out how quarks glom together-and Betsy Wilczek-writer, blogger, math whiz--have composed an entrancing work that captures both the substance and process of understanding.
_Longing for the Harmonies_ is a very good book........2000-12-30
_Longing for the Harmonies_ presents the highlights of physics in a way that is accessible to most readers. It is a graceful book that pleases as it informs. One of the authors, Frank Wilczek, is a leading physicist.
a different perspective.......2000-04-29
This book, while well-written and organized, can be slightly frustrating. Those readers looking for a straight-forward, purely factual explanation of quantum physics should go elsewhere. This text, which I read for a 100-level physics class, flips between flowing metaphors and Feynman diagrams, while trying to explain the concepts behind quantum physics. In other words, there is thankfully no math. The authors do tend to get slightly overconfident in their theories at times, putting more authority behind their pet ideas than may be warranted. Still, overall it's a good overview of quantum physics for those who want to understand it conceptually.

Buena pieza literaria pero cruel, despiadada.......2002-01-23
Ésta no es una novela para pasar un rato agradable.
En la historia aparecen muchos símbolos o representaciones sobre la sociedad humana y esto puede ser interesante para varios lectores, pero la esencia de la novela es cruda, fuerte, inmisericorde.
El hecho de que los protagonistas sean jóvenes no la convierte automáticamente en literatura juvenil. Sugiero leerla antes de recomendarla o regalarla.
una fabula sobre la humanidad.......2001-08-27
El Señor de las Moscas William Golding La isla desierta, el segundo comienzo de la humanidad, la juventud e inexperiencia de sus ocupantes, la relajación de los controles morales y la gradual caída de sus habitantes en la inercia y la anarquía, estos son los elementos que encontramos en el señor de las moscas. Me pregunto que seria de mi si estuviese en esa situación, caería en la anarquía o trataría e imitar la decadente sociedad de la que vengo? Aunque estoy de acuerdo con el autor en muchas cosas, no estoy de acuerdo con la premisa de que el mal es innato y que la supresión de los controles provoque caos. Quizás sea yo el menos indicado para señalar esto y solo sea un simple soñador, ya que en mis años de colegio fui un Piggy cualquiera, blanco de las burlas y las mofas de los más astutos aunque menos intelectuales que yo. Y después en mi vida adulta como profesor he visto que el egocentrismo de los niños los lleva a veces a ser crueles con sus compañeros. Pero aun me resisto a creer, deseo firmemente demostrar que ese proceso puede revertirse, aunque veo que por lo visto en los últimos tiempos la violencia infantil en las escuelas por parte de niños ha aumentado bastante. La novela sin embargo trata el punto de vista del autor que supo expresar sus pensamientos magistralmente, aunque debo decir que las descripciones de la selva me resultaron cansonas. Pero eso ya es culpa mía, pues nunca he sido muy adepto a las descripciones de paisajes, siendo atraído enormemente en cambio por los aspectos psicológicos de las obras...... Descripción de la obra Esta obra de William Golding es una fábula al estilo ingles ( parece ser que a los ingleses les encanta escribir este tipo de fábula moralista de mundos en decadencia. Solo tenemos que acordarnos de Un Mundo Feliz, 1984, Hacienda de Animales y otras mas, todas sobre mundos o sociedades en su ocaso o dominados por seres autoritarios) en que un grupo de PRE-adolescentes y niños se ve atrapado en una isla desierta . Los personajes principales de la obra reflejan cada uno una condición distinta del ser humano. Ralph, el gobernante elegido por el grupo, tiene buenas intenciones, don de mando, y una inteligencia por encima de la mediocridad aunque no siempre tiene las mejores ideas. Se apoya inconscientemente en Piggy y solo al final se da cuenta de que era el único amigo verdadero y el único con visión suficiente para pensar casi como adulto. Piggy representa la inteligencia, no siempre escuchada cuando se mueven otros intereses, a veces solo cuando es demasiado tarde. Jack es el antagonista por excelencia, en busca de poder no escatima en esfuerzos por satisfacer sus ansias de ser un gobernante de la isla y dar rienda suelta a instintos que quizás en un mundo civilizado hubiesen permanecido acallados. Su odio visceral hacia Piggy desde un principio es el odio hacia el sentido común que le impedirían dar rienda suelta a sus ambiciones y manías. La historia puede prestarse a múltiples interpretaciones, pero creo que la mas clara de ellas es la sombría visión del autor hacia la humanidad en si y de cómo el mal es algo innato que surge en el ser humano una vez se han relajado los controles que lo mantienen a raya... Luis Méndez
El señor de las moscas.......2001-05-08
Es uno de los mejores libros que se pueden recomendar para pasar un momento totalmente entretenido, y sobre todo para reflexionar acerca de nuestras propias carencias y limites.
