Informative, Easy to Read, Important

Okay but this. little. book. I wasn't prepared for the immensely important conclusion of this book about physics - which I read in the wind on campus as the sun was setting and I am surprised my heart didn't just burst with love for science and the world and academia. All I have to say is: "Immersed in this nature that made us and that directs us, we are not homeless beings suspended between two worlds, parts of but only partly belonging to nature, with a longing for something else. No: we are home."
