From Jaime Smith, author of Stardust and Foxtrot, comes a new collection of essays that draw from his background in astronomy, psychology and the humanities. Expanding on essays in Stardust, Smith delves more deeply into physics, biology, philosophy, religion, human behaviour and aesthetics. Running through all the essays is a focus on the nature of timepast, present, and future. Drawing from history and psychology, Smith presents the writings and research of scholars in their fields as he explores where humanity might be going from here.
Smith's polymath mind treats readers to 130 concise essays with a rich intellectual diet of renaissance thoughts for our twenty-first century. Starting with physics and astronomy, followed by biology and mind, then enriching our views of self and society, and finally considering the natures of time past, present and future Meteors illuminates insights from Smith's professional careers: mathematical astronomy through psychiatry and much in between. A collection of fruitful ideas from a fruitful mind. Meteors educates and delights. Thomas B. Roberts, PhD. author of MindApps and The Psychedelic Future of the Mind
For a person of faith, Meteors is both informative and stimulating. Of the different religions described, many are beyond the ordinary knowledge of even an ordained pastor like myself. The espoused atheism is a stimulus for deep reflection on what may be the reader's faith. Rev. John S. McCall, Presbyterian Church, US
