This is wonderfully imaginative way of presenting the "man on the Clapham omnibus" or indeed on "The woman and man on the S train from Duisburg to Bochum" with descriptions and thoughts about what I have always Considered to be over complex theories. It is a series of loads of very short essays by real "eggheads" On Their favorite theories. The short essay format forces from most of them clear, accessible and well written texts. A must for the bookshelf. And for the omnibus and S Bahn. It impressed my dentist!
