I have one on my shelf in my office at home. Right next to my bible.
Despite my rhetoric, I don't condone burning of books, whatever their content.

Plus, the book doesn't really live up to the adjectives.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
