Snow, in a now famous essay, wrote about the polarization of the \"two cultures\" -- literary intellectuals on the one hand, and scientists on the other. Although he hoped for the emergence of a \"third culture\" that would bridge the gap, it is only recently that science has changed the intellectual landscape. \u003cbr\u003e Brockman's thesis that science is emerging as the intellectual center of our society is brought to life vividly in \u003ci\u003eThe Third Culture, \u003c\/i\u003e which weaves together the voices of some of today's most influential scientific figures, including: \u003cbr\u003e Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Dawkins on the implications of evolution Steven Pinker, Marvin Minsky, Daniel C. Dennett, and Roger Penrose on how the mind works\u003cbr\u003e Murray Gell-Mann and Stuart Kauffman on the new sciences of complexity \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Third Culture\u003c\/i\u003e is an honest picture of science in action. It is at once stimulating, challenging, and riveting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Brockman is a literary agent and author specializing in scientific literature.
