When We Cease to Understand the World shows us great minds striking out into dangerous, uncharted terrain. Fritz Haber, Alexander Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schr???dinger: these are among the luminaries into whose troubled minds we are thrust as they grapple with the most profound questions of existence.
