WHEN EINSTEIN WALKED WITH GODEL Excursions to the Edge of Thought

Narrator David Stifel's steady voice provides a welcoming tone as the author gives listeners a window on the seemingly inscrutable nature of the infinite. The title refers to a relationship between the scientist and the philosopher, and Holt's audiobook, a collection of essays from the past 20 years, likewise delves into deep questions about life itself. Listeners are guided through discussions on the interplay between the mathematical constant pi and the music woven in its structure, the ethical compromises found in the historical study of statistics, and the concept of laughter and how the nature of humor may outlive us all. Stifel narrates this work in a clear, accessible style, providing listeners with an entry into a truly fascinating series of intellectual excursions.
