"The Canon" is a joyride through the major scientific disciplines, that reignites our childhood delight and sense of wonder — and along the way, tells us what is actually happening, when our ice cream melts or our coffee gets cold, what our liver cells do, when we eat a caramel, why the horse is an example of evolution at work and how we’re all really made of stardust.

Quotations:
"So, I’ll out myself. I’m an Atheist. I don’t believe in God, Gods, Godlets or any sort of higher power beyond the universe itself, which seems quite high and powerful enough to me. I don’t believe in life after death, channeled chat rooms with the dead, reincarnation, telekinesis or any miracles but the miracle of life and consciousness, which again strike me as miracles in nearly obscene abundance. I believe that the universe abides by the laws of physics, some of which are known, others of which will surely be discovered, but even if they aren’t, that will simply be a result, as my colleague George Johnson put it, of our brains having evolved for life on this one little planet and thus being inevitably limited. I’m convinced that the world as we see it was shaped by the again genuinely miraculous, let’s even say transcendent, hand of evolution through natural selection."
"Scientists have discovered that the small, brave act of cooperating with another person, of choosing trust over cynicism, generosity over selfishness, makes the brain light up with quiet joy."
"Science is not a body of facts. Science is a state of mind. It is a way of viewing the world, of facing reality square on but taking nothing on its face. It is about attacking a problem with the most manicured of claws and tearing it down into sensible, edible pieces."
"I may not believe in life after death, but what a gift it is to be alive now."
"The surest and most insidious enemy of freedom is not dictatorship, but complacency."
"Eternal love is a myth, but we make our myths, and we love them to death."
Natalie is a member of the National Association of Science Writers.
Natalie married Richard Steven Weiss, a former science reporter for The Washington Post, on July 27, 1991. Their marriage produced one daughter - Katherine Weiss Angier.
