Oh dear me … Henry’s finally written a Tolkien book. I’ve known Henry Gee for *years* – and I can almost guarantee without even looking at the book that it will be very very entertaining and worthwhile reading!
As far as imagination furthering science, I completely agree about its relevance. If we could never imagine the possiblities of how are earth and universe works, we would never be able to find out if they were accurate or not through experimentation. It is wonderful to have a book that brings out this awareness.
