There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness

One of the most inspiring thinkers of our age transforms the way we think about the world with his reflections on science, history and humanity

 In this collection of writings, the logbook of an intelligence always on the move, Carol Rovelli follows his curiosity and invites us on a voyage through science, literature, philosophy and politics.

Written with his usual clarity and wit, these pieces, most of which were first published in Italian newspapers, range widely across time and space- from Newton's alchemy to Einstein's mistakes, from Nabokov's butterflies to Dante's cosmology, from travels in Africa to the consciousness of an octopus, from mind-altering psychedelic substances to the meaning of atheism.
