Gilligan, Carol. <br />

. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1983. An<br />

examination <strong>of</strong> the ways in which traditional gender roles have been wrongly<br />

linked to moral development. When we look at the ways in which men and<br />

women relate to others in their normal lives, we see two different pictures <strong>of</strong><br />

human interaction and, thereby, two different starting points from which to<br />

make sense <strong>of</strong> moral judgments.<br />

Gleick, James. . New York: Viking,<br />

1987. A discussion <strong>of</strong> nonlinear systems and the regularities that govern<br />

them—regularities that do not appear to the eye when these systems are<br />

viewed from traditional vantage points.<br />

Glickstein, Mitchell. . Cambridge,<br />

<br />

way to the modern view <strong>of</strong> the working <strong>of</strong> the human brain.<br />

Gödel, Kurt. <br />

and Related Systems. New York: Dover, 1992. <strong>The</strong> paper that undermined the<br />

longstanding view that mathematical truth is equivalent to provability. Gödel<br />

shows that in any logical system strong enough to give an axiomatic system<br />

for arithmetic, that there will be true propositions that will not be provable.<br />

Gold, Thomas. . New<br />

York: Copernicus, 1999. An argument that the most probable location for the<br />

beginning <strong>of</strong> life on Earth was not in shallow waters close to land but around<br />

nutrient-rich volcanic vents located deep beneath the surface <strong>of</strong> the ocean,<br />

where there is little light.<br />

Gould, Stephen Jay. . New York: Norton, 1996.<br />

An examination <strong>of</strong> attempts to quantify innate intelligence, especially the<br />

<br />

cultural biases.<br />

Greene, Brian. . New York: Vintage, 1999. A bestselling<br />

book by a prominent physicist <strong>of</strong>fering explanations <strong>of</strong> contemporary<br />

physics for the nonscientist.<br />
