LIFE AND MIND IN THE UNIVERSE
By George Wald

I have come to the end of my scientific life facing two great problems. Both are rooted in science; and I approach them as only a scientist would. Yet both I believe to be in essence unassimilable as science. That is scarcely to be wondered at, since one involves cosmology, the other consciousness.
I will begin with the cosmology.

Something to read when you have a goodly amount of time. Which after reading you may conclude time is something we may have a lot of.

Will go back and read it as there is a lot; useful reading too, considering the recent debate over here about animal sentience:
