Uncertainty: the natural state of things

This is really an ad for a book by an old friend and colleague at Concordia university. He's a mathematician - which I had always thought of as the most authoritative and certain field of study there was. Not so, he says in  his new book. All science, including mathematics, is full of uncertainty and constant change which still leaves us in uncertainty. You can imagine how much worse it must be in fields like history, politics and theollogy.
