I’m happy to report that the books are now organized alphabetically by author, and the extra copies have been put into other people’s hands. What’s the last great book you read? For me a great book is a book that I want to make someone else read immediately. And, too, a great book is one that makes me want to tell a story back. The last story that made me feel that way was in the 2023 “Best American Short Stories.” It’s by Da-Lin.

The Best Reason to Trust Science
  + stars: | 2023-03-09 | by ( Carlo Rovelli | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Science is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them. Every aspect of scientific knowledge can be questioned, including the general rules of thinking that appear to be most certain. If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world? The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be improved does not diminish the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.
