505 0  Introduction -- The scientific citizen -- Surviving the 
       century -- What we'll never know -- Runaway world. 
520    Science is often portrayed as an obscure, difficult 
       discipline, governed by elite researchers and inaccessible
       to the general public. In this riveting, inspiring new 
       book, preeminent astrophysicist Martin Rees overturns this
       view, urging improved communication between researchers 
       and laypeople. In order to shape debates over health care,
       energy policy, space travel, and other vital issues, 
       ordinary citizens must develop a feel for science the one 
       truly global culture and engage directly with research 
       rather than relying on pundits and politicians 
       interpretations. Recognized as an expert on the political 
       and ethical impact of science, Rees demonstrate show we 
       must solve the new challenges we face from population 
       growth to climate change by devising strategies with a 
       long-term, global perspective. In the process, he offers 
       insights into the prospects for future discoveries while 
       also explaining science 's intrinsic limits. Just as 
       importantly, Rees reminds us that science should be a 
       source of pleasure and wonder for specialists and 
       nonspecialists alike.
