Synopsis
The lesson of Henry Eyring's life is that simple people, people just like you and me, can change the world. You do it every day, even without recognizing it. And you have the potential to change the world much more if only you can understand and use the gifts you have been given." --From the introduction by Steven M. Kuznicki Henry Eyring was one of the preeminent scientists of his era--no mean feat when you consider that his era included the likes of Einstein and Heisenberg. He was also a believing and practicing Latter-day Saint, an apparent contradiction that Henry mastered with surprising ease. To Henry, science and religion were not opposites--they were part of one unified picture that God would ultimately reveal. As a scientist, and as a man of faith, he worked at discovering the missing puzzle pieces that would make the picture complete. This engaging biography tells the story of a boy born on a ranch in the Mormon colonies of northern Mexico who attained the heights of scientific achievement, ultimately publishing more than 600 papers and leading the world's largest scientific societies. It is also the story of the family legacy that produced Henry Eyring--of the faith and sacrifice of his forebears that made his education and scientific achievements possible and laid the foundations of his own unshakable faith. Above all, this is the story of a scientist whose religious faith helped him find simple truths in a complex world. It is a legacy we can share as we learn from his experiences and apply his insights.
