Praise for Stephen Budiansky

Journey to the Edge of Reason: The Life of Kurt Gödel

"Mesmerizing."
- Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times Book Review

"[Budiansky] writes vividly, and the book overflows with fascinating detail. . . . [E]nthralling."
- David Edmonds, The Wall Street Journal

"Wonderfully engrossing."
- Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker

Oliver Wendell Holmes: A Life in War, Law, and Ideas

"Lively and engaging. . . . [A]t a time when progressives and conservatives alike are so sure of their own premises that America is more polarized than at any time since the Civil War, the 'skeptical humility,' as Budiansky puts it, that Holmes took from the war seems more elusive, and more urgently needed, than ever."
- Jeffrey Rosen, Washington Post

"Consistently gripping. . . . Possessed of a zest and omnivorous curiosity that reflects the boundless energy of its subject."
- Steve Donoghue, Christian Science Monitor

"Discriminating, genial, and admiring."
- Brenda Wineapple, The Nation
