-Titulo Original : Unweaving The Rainbow Science, Delusion And The Appetite For Wonder
-Fabricante :
Mariner Books
-Descripcion Original:
Biologist, humanist, and bestselling author Richard Dawkins deeply examines the inherent beauty within modern scientific discoveries. “If any recent writing about science is poetic, it is this” ( The Wall Street Journal). Did Newton unweave the rainbow by reducing it to its prismatic colors, as Keats contended? Did he, in other words, diminish beauty? Far from it, says acclaimed scientist Richard Dawkins; Newtons unweaving is the key to much of modern astronomy and to the breathtaking poetry of modern cosmology. Mysteries dont lose their poetry because they are solved: the solution often is more beautiful than the puzzle, uncovering deeper mysteries. With the wit, insight, and spellbinding prose that have made him a bestselling author, Dawkins takes up the most important and compelling topics in modern science, from astronomy and genetics to language and virtual reality, combining them in a landmark statement of the human appetite for wonder. Unweaving the Rainbow is a brilliant assessment of what science is (and isnt), a tribute to science not because it is useful but because it is uplifting. From The New Yorker Brilliance and wit. Review A spellbinding storyteller. The New York Times Brilliance and wit. The New Yorker An extended rebuttal - not so much by argument as by radiant example - of perennial anti-science convictions. Few among us are better qualified for the job. If any recent writing about science is poetic, it is this. The Wall Street Journal Like an extended stay on a brain health-farm . . .You come out feeling lean, tuned and enormously more intelligent. The Times of London About the Author RICHARD DAWKINS is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford and was the University of Oxfords Professor for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008. He is the author of 15 books including Unweaving the Rainbow, A Devil’s Chaplain, and The God Delusion .Dawkins lives in Oxford.,
