Know about the book -

Facing Up(English, Hardcover, Weinberg Steven) is written by Weinberg Steven and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 067400647X (ISBN 10) and 9780674006478 (ISBN 13).

In this volume, Steven Weinberg pursues his principal passions, theoretical physics and a deeper understanding of the culture, philosophy, history, and politics of science. Each of these essays, which span 15 years, struggles in one way or another with the necessity of facing up to the discovery that the laws of nature are impersonal, with no hint of a special status for human beings. Defending the spirit of science against its cultural adversaries, these essays express a viewpoint that is reductionist, realist, and devoutly secular. Each is preceded by a new introduction that explains its provenance and, if necessary, brings it up to date.
