What are the great scientific questions of our modern age and why don't we know the answers? The Big Questions in Science takes on the most fascinating and pressing mysteries we have yet to crack and explains how tantalizingly close science is to solving them (or how frustratingly out of reach they remain).

Some, such as Can we live forever? and What makes us human? are eternal questions; others, such as How do we solve the population problem? and How do we get more energy from the sun? are essential to our future survival. Written by experienced science writers, adept at translating the complicated concepts of hard science into an engaging and insightful discussion for the general reader, The Big Questions in Science grapples with 20 hot topics across the disciplines of biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy and computer science to ignite the inquisitive scientist in all of us.
