It only took me a couple of days to read this book. It is one of those hard to put down books - I just couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next. This is a must read. I can not wait for the next book from Pamela Scotto Tremblay I read the book the day I received it - could not put it down. The characters, their stories, their actions really keep your attention. It presented a lot of thought-provoking ideas and situations, especially about opening ourselves to Grace and the consequences of that.

I highly recommend it and am anxiously awaiting Pamela's next book. One person found this helpful. Not only does it keep your attention from the moment you turn the first page, but, if you allow it, it will also take you on a journey after you have read the last page. Anyone who reads this book with an open mind and heart will definitely be inspired to seek out grace and forgiveness ultimately leading to a more enlightened and joyful life". I am really excited to read The Lost Paradigm. I have known Pamela for a long time and have heard her speak on many of the lessons that show up in this book.

And although the plot may be fiction, I can tell you that Pamela lives the path she outlines in The Lost Paradigm.

She trusts the outcomes when she puts faith and joy in action! If you're one who loves inspirational reads, this is it. What a great reminder of where our joy comes from. Love and forgiveness can lead to true joy that so many of us think is not possible.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most insightful books I have ever come across in my life. In it a mathematician takes a critical and penetrating look at the most baffling problems facing humanity and science. In narrating these topics Casti adopts a unique courtroom style in which he presents the arguments in favor of and against the dominant hypothesis in each of the fields, and then steps in to act as jury and provide his own opinion. But the book is more than only a deep exposition of these topics.

Casti weaves an extremely lively and entertaining tale about a host of characters and discoveries involved in these exciting areas of thought and research. One of the things I noticed in this book is the marvelous sense of humour that Casti employs. Nowhere else in serious science writing or even in popular accounts have I seen such intelligent dashes of humor expressed in such fine language. In fact that's one of the outstanding triumphs of this book.

The language in the book is sophisticated, yet very accessible. The bibiliography at the end is almost as lavishly detailed as the book itself. In my opinion, Casti has emerged as one of the finest science writers in the world because of this book. I strongly suspect that it is because of his unique experiences; he combines the artistic and culturally sophisticated style which he developed in Europe with the informal, witty and pragmatic cheek found among Americans writers which he must have picked up during his time in the United States.

All in all, it is remarkable how one man can collect and coherently discuss such a prodigious amount of information, especially about topics not directly related to his field of study. This will be a book I am definitely going to remember all my life. I will recommend it strongly to anyone even remotely interested in science, research and the future of humanity.

An example of scientific writing at its best. I read this book years ago and remembered it being a real thought provoker. I was not disappointed. If you wonder about how much we know about the big questions in life, or even what big questions scientists are working on then this book is for you.

It needs a serious update but it never hurts to study the history of a discipline and this book provides an excellent summary of where science was at the time it was written. Very interesting book that discusses some major scientific questions such as the origin of life on earth. Presents arguments from various sides of the issue like a trial. The author draws conclusions when he feels the evidence warrants one. Very honest and unbiased. Massimo Pigliucci pigliucci utk. John Casti is an American mathematician transplanted in the old world, namely in martial and musical Vienna.

His prose is as witty and cultured as any European master would like it, and as concise and right to the point as any new world's scientist is taught to produce. Even though my personal opinions about the subject matters covered by Casti in this book more often than not radically depart from his conclusions, this is by all means a must for any skeptic's library.

And it will figure nicely in most other collections as well. Paradigms lost is about six major unsolved mysteries in modern science some would say in modern philosophy. In order of appearance, we have: It's hard to imagine a more compelling intellectual tour de force The structure of Casti's book provides a "claim" at the beginning of each chapter, such as "there exist intelligent beings in our galaxy with whom we can communicate". The author then provides a minimal background necessary to assess the arguments, and proceeds to lead the way to a parade of "witnesses" for the "prosecution" in favor of the claim and the "defense" against the claim.

In so doing, we are treated to the reasoning of Einstein and Bohr, Dawkins and Gould, Miller and Crick if you don't recognize these names, shame on you, skip the rest of the review and pick up the book itself Each chapter then ends with a summary of the opposing statements and a very useful table recapitulating viewpoints and authors , as well as with a final judgment delivered by Casti himself.

This last component could be interpreted as somewhat pretentious especially given the impressive array of witnesses that precede it. Besides, Casti makes very clear at the beginning of the book don't skip the introduction! The first claim is that "life arose out of natural physical processes taking place here on Earth", apparently hardly a controversial statement, until your initial confidence is at least questioned by an array of detailed arguments concerning the difficulties that modern physics, chemistry, and biology are still experiencing in order to answer the question of the ultimate origin of ourselves.

Did nucleic acids come first, and then somehow gave origin to proteins? Or did it go the other way around?

Or maybe they both appeared simultaneously? Or, perhaps neither of them came first, but they supplanted a much more primitive and ancient mechanism for the propagation of life? Casti even entertains - mostly for the sake of completeness - Nobel laureate Francis Crick's theory of panspermia, the idea that life has been "imported" on Earth from outer space; astronomer Fred Hoyle's hypothesis about a "silicon creator" responsible for disseminating life throughout the universe; and last and certainly list, creationist Duane Gish's idea that the christian god did it all first-hand.

The author's conclusion is that it is likely that life indeed originated on Earth by natural means, but that we still have few clues to how exactly this came about. The second claim is "human behavior patterns are dictated primarily by the genes". This is the old yet always very current nature-vs-nurture debate that has been waged for centuries. Casti does a very good job at presenting the modern versions of the arguments, including biologist E. Wilson's "sociobiology" and its somewhat politically motivated rebuttal by the "Boston group", spearheaded by paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould and geneticist Richard Lewontin.

Casti makes very clear that we are interested in the intellectual side of the question, not in its moral and political consequences. This is not to say, of course, that scientists should not care about the social implications of their research; it simply means that they are especially qualified to carry out the research, while they have no particular claim at understanding or discussing the moral corollaries of the research itself. I think this is a particularly lucid treatment of a very thorny subject, and definitely makes for a sobering reading on both sides.

When all the smoke clears, the author casts his vote for the very reasonable middle-ground conclusion that it's really a bit of both. We are the result of a complex series of interactions between our genes and our environments, to the point that independent contributions of either factor are distinguishable only in extreme cases. Related to the nature-nurture debate is the third claim, "human language capacity stems from a unique, innate property of the brain".
