Recognized as one of the most prominent and active science journalists, Tiit Kändler has consistently engaged in popularizing the latest achievements and discoveries in science for a broad audience since the early 1990s. A graduate in physics from Tartu State University in 1972, he worked as a researcher at the Institute of Cybernetics of the Academy of Sciences from 1972 to 1980 and at the Institute of Chemical and Biological Physics from 1980 to 1988, holding a candidate degree in physics and mathematics, which lends significant weight to his scientific voice. This book features 39 science-themed articles by Kändler published between 1999 and 2008, primarily in Eesti Päevaleht, with some appearing in Eesti Ekspress, the yearbook "Lehed ja tähed," and the magazines "Life in Estonia" and "Think!". The collection begins with an introduction that sets the tone for reading the articles with a philosophical grasp. From the outset, Kändler's position in the field of science is clear: he is a thinker, a marveler, a wonderer, an eager questioner, and a mediator of answers. His articles are not written in a dull and dry, impersonal scientific language; rather, they are crafted in a so-called human language, even with flair and richness. Although the author is a physicist by profession, this collection covers a very broad thematic scope.
