It continued with Jorge Luis Borges' Library of Babel, where all possible books reside. John Searle's Chinese Room; the untold stories of Paleolithic humanity - the list has grown and grown over the years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this collection of chapters from various books of mine, many disciplines are explored: science, math, history, neuroscience, sociology, linguistics - even the origins of the idea of God. Even so, this is just a sampler: the parade of little-known but amazing ideas in the universe is endless, and it's a deep joy to explore them - a joy I thought I'd share. I hope you enjoy them, too!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798837285356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Scott Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48137122545919,"sku":"9798837285356","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1a01c38-e3f9-489c-8182-0f18ffd7cf3d.jpg?v=1770166687","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/out-of-curiosity-scott-robinson-9798837285356","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
