American Prometheus, great book, here's my overly greedy review

I found the Goodreads reviews of Feyerabend's "Against Method" - one of the most important books in my life - very interesting & diverse:

Finished rereading Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything". Beautiful stylized history & pop science, w/an emphasis on how we gradually improve our understanding in fits & starts, & of how ignorant we remain

One of the best appreciations of science& scientists ever IMO

I loved it.

If you haven't read them, his letters are remarkable:

If a better scientific biography has ever been written, I'd like to read it! Extraordinary history & biography: [Much less technical, but Gleick's "Genius" and Skidelsky's abridged Keynes are also marvellous. (The abridged is better than the full bio.)

One of my favourite books.

I enjoyed Gallwey's later "The Inner Game of Work" a great deal, too.
