The essays that make up James Burke鈥檚 Circles all start at some thought or
observation, then wander on connecting paths with other events, people,
inventions and scientific discoveries until finding themselves back at the
beginning. It鈥檚 fascinating. Take an essay a day and remain impressed. Overdose
and you may drop by the wayside. Burke鈥檚 style is conversational and he can鈥檛
resist a laboured joke. Published by Simon & Schuster, $25, ISBN
