    Theories of Everything

    Theories of Everything

    Klein formaat paperback, rug boek is wat verkleurd, in goede staat. Engelstalig. In good condition. Text in English.

    The Holy Grail of modern scientists is “The Theory of Everything,” which will contain all that can be known about the Universe — the magic formula that Einstein spent his life searching for and failed to find. In this elegant and exciting book, first published in 1990, John Barrow challenges the quest for ultimate explanation. The New Scientist says of The Theory of Everything: [It is] “an exhilarating journey that cuts across a vast terrain of conceptual landmarks: from physics to metaphysics, mathematics to philosophy, and from mythology to theology . . . without a doubt an important, engaging and highly literate book.”

    Shakespeare's Restless...

    Shakespeare's Restless World

    Mooi exemplaar. Hardback met nette stofomslag. Ex libris voorin. Verder onberispelijk, in goede staat. Ills.

    From Neil MacGregor, the acclaimed creator of A History of the World in 100 Objects and the Director of the British Museum, comes a unique, enthralling exploration of the age of William Shakespeare to accompany a new BBC Radio 4 series.Shakespeare lived through a pivotal period in human history. With the discovery of the New World, the horizons of Old Europe were expanding dramatically - and long-cherished certainties were crumbling. Life was exhilaratingly uncertain. What were Londoners thinking when they went to see Shakespeare's plays? What was it like living in their world? Here Neil MacGregor looks at twenty objects from Shakespeare's life and times, and uncovers the fascinating stories behind them. The objects themselves range from the grand (such as the hoard of gold coins that make up the Salcombe treasure) to the very humble, like the battered trunk and worn garments of an unknown pedlar. But in each case, they allow MacGregor to explore issues as diverse as piracy and Islam, Catholicism and disguise. MacGregor weaves the histories of objects into the words of Shakespeare's plays themselves to suggest to us where his ideas about religion, national identity, the history of England and the world, human nature itself, may have come from. The result is a fresh and thrilling evocation of Shakespeare's world.
