excerpt from Wikipedia(entry: The Third Culture):

The Third Culture is a book by John Brockman which discusses the work of several well-known scientists who are directly communicating their new, sometimes provocative, ideas to the general public. John Brockman has continued the themes of 'The Third Culture' in the website of the Edge Foundation, where leading scientists and thinkers contribute their thoughts in plain English.

The title of the book refers to Charles Percy Snow's 1959 work The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution, which described the conflict between the cultures of the humanities and science.

Twenty-three people were included in the book:

physicist Paul Davies
biologist Richard Dawkins
philosopher Daniel Dennett
paleontologist Niles Eldredge
chaos theorist J. Doyne Farmer
theoretical physicist Murray Gell-Mann
biologist Brian Goodwin
geologist/biologist Stephen Jay Gould
