Shapiro The New York Times Book review An experiment in ethnography that gains a special lucidity by being fine literature. -- William Davenport Science Read happens to be an artist as well as a scientist... He has a touch of the poet-visionary-mystic, blended with passion and a gift for prose. -- Edmund Fuller The Wall Street Journal
