"Bilimle uğraşmayanlar, bilimin, özellikle de biyolojinin çok ince eleyip sık dokuduğundan, ayrıntılarda çok karmaşık olduğundan ve konu dışındakiler tarafından zor kavrandığından yakınırlar. Diğer yandan bilim insanları, toplumun, temel araştırma bulgularının değerini çok az takdir ettiğinden, çok az ilgilendiğinden söz ederler.Dr. Hoagland'ın kitabıyla aradaki duvarın iki yüzü de onarılacaktır."-Lewis Thomas
