This anthology draws out and distils science's love of narrative from a wide range of scientific disciplines, weaving theory into very human stories.

When Drizzt Do’Urden first entered Icewind Dale in 1347, he found a place quite unlike anywhere he had ever known, a land of freezing winds and ferocious monsters, of dramatic vistas and unrelenting challenges.
