Book Details


First Sentence

"What is the most daring and amazing journey we can make in a lifetime? We can travel to remote places, like adventurers, explorers or cosmonauts; we can look at even more distant places, like astronomers; we can visit the past, like historians, archeologists, evolutionary biologists or geologists; or we can delve deeply into the human interior, like artists or psychologists. All the voyages lead either to other places or to other times. However, we can do better."
