Arthur Zajonc (author)
£17.49
Paperback
Published: 05/10/1995
`This is a most persuasive book on a most important subject. I recommend it highly.'
Saul Bellow
With scholarship and clarity, Arthur Zajonc takes us on an epic journey into scientific history. Yet Catching the Light is not just about science; it is a book of ideas that blends science with literature, religion, philosophy, and morality and tries to answer the question that has mystified humanity from pre-history to the present day: what is light?
