"This is a jewel-box of a book, full of precious pieces. It is especially important for its exploration of the Catholic Church's unique contribution to the natural sciences. The topics covered include the role of the Christian scientist, the urgency of accepting nuclear power - and much else." |
| Professor J.J. Scarisbrick |
