“Ferris is a master analogist who conveys his insights on the history of cosmology with a lyrical flair.” —__The New York Times Book Review__ In __The Science of Liberty__, award-winning author Timothy Ferris—called “the best popular science writer in the English language today” by the __Christian__ Science Monitor and “the best science writer of his generation” by the __Washington Post__—makes a passionate case for science as the inspiration behind the rise of liberalism and democracy. In the grand tradition of such luminaries of the field as Bill Bryson, Richard Dawkins, and Oliver Sacks—as well as his own __The Whole Shebang__ and __Coming of Age in the Milky Way__—Ferris has written a brilliant chronicle of how science sparked the spread of liberal democracy and transformed today’s world.
