"If studying science in the classroom managed to turn you off for life, you owe it to yourself to read one of Trefil's books...Meditations At 10,000 feet...may be the best one of all." (San Francisco Chronicle). A wonderful book! (Please note: Amazon's detail page for this book lists the publisher as Simon&Schuster. My book's copyright page lists the publisher as MacMillan Pub. Co. of N.Y., N.Y. and "First Collier Books Edition 1987" is at the bottom of the copyright page. They are the same--Simon & Schuster acquired MacMillan Publishing Co. in 1994, so there name is in later printings of this book.)
