Shhhuuurreee... Myhrr wood for the mhental fires...
I'll forego comments on Feynman & Drexler....
But, really, why must a renaissance human study:
> The World According to Wavelets by Barbara Hubbard
and perhaps
> Fractal Geometry of Nature by Benoit Mandelbrot
One would suspect just a little bias in these suggestions.
Now of course, Amara redeems herself suggesting...
> Meetings with Remarkable Men by G.I. Gurdjieff
Anyone suggesting Gurdjieff not only demonstrates their
depth but their breadth as well...
Of course suggestions as to where one can find time to
immerse oneself in Amara's fine list are welcome.
