While Kerri Miller is out, Tom Weber will continue the book Pick of the Week. His choice this week is 'From Here to Infinity: A Vision for the Future of Science.'

It's overwhelming to think about things like 'how to address climate change,' but Rees' style allows the reader to explore such big ticket items without feeling hopeless."
