D. S. Brewer, Cambridge, first edition, 2002. Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm,. xx, [1], 464, [2] pp. From the prefaratory material: "With the appearance in 1999 of the very extensive interim volume covering the years 1978 to 1992, the Arthurian Bibliography became once more the critical source for Arthurian scholars. This fourth volume of entries, culled in the main from BBSIA, covers the years 1993 to 1998 inclusive and includes both author-listing and subject index of every major topic in Arthurian studies. The cumulative volumes of the Bibliography offer an exhaustive author and title database of the burgeoning scholarship in the field of Arthurian studies since the inception of the project at Hull, reflecting the major advances in the field and the continuing relevance of Arthurian material in medieval studies. As New., D. S. Brewer, Cambridge, first edition, 2002, 2002, 5, New York.: Cambridge University Press, 1990. Book. Fine. Soft cover. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Softcover 1990 edition. Text and covers in fine condition. Binding firm. Pages unmarked and clean. (275 pages)., Cambridge University Press, 1990, 5, Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 1997. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Some Markings. Some shelf wear. Quantity Available: 1. ISBN: 0521595568. ISBN/EAN: 9780521595568. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request.

Near fine. ISBN: 0521773512 / 0-521-77351-2 Second edition. 'In an age where philosophers and social scientists are trying to outdo one another in imitating physicists, it's refreshing and perhaps fitting that a physicist should remind them that there are important subjects that can't be approached in this way . . . Harrison has done a marvelous piece of historical research, and the book is filled with gems . . . He speaks in the language of science about mankind's age-old need to find meaning and order in a seemingly senseless Universe.' [book review], James Trefil, New York Times. "To the ancient Greeks the universe consisted of earth, air, fire, and water. To Saint Augustine it was the Word of God. To many modern scientists it is the dance of atoms and waves, and in years to come it may be different again. What then is the real Universe? History shows that in every age each society constructs its own universe, believing it to be the real and final Universe. Yet each universe is only a model or mask of the unknown Universe. Originally published in 2003, this book brings together fundamental scientific, philosophical, and religious issues in cosmology, raising thought-provoking questions. In every age people have pitied the universes of their ancestors, convinced that they have at last discovered the ultimate truth. Does the modern model stand at the threshold of discovering everything, or will it, like all the rest, come to be pitied?" [CUP]. CONTENTS: Preface Introducing the masks Part I. Worlds in the Making: 1. The magic Universe 2. The mythic Universe 3. The geometric Universe 4. The medieval Universe 5. The infinite Universe 6. The mechanistic Universe Part II. The Heart Divine: 7. Dance of the atoms and waves 8. Fabric of space and time 9. Nearer to the heart's desire 10. The cosmic tide 11. Do dreams ever come true? Part III. The Cloud of Unknowing: 12.

Masks of the Universe

Autor:	Edward Harrison
Título:	Masks of the Universe
ISBN:	0521773512

To the ancient Greeks the universe consisted of earth, air, fire and water. To Saint Augustine it was the Word of God. To many modern scientists it is the interaction of atoms and waves, and in years to come it may be different again. What then is the real universe? History shows that in every age society constructs its own universe, believing it to be the real and final one. Yet these are only models, or masks covering what is not understood and not known. This book brings together fundamental scientific, philosophical, and religious issues in cosmology, raising thought provoking questions. In every age people have pitied the universes of their ancestors, convinced that they have at last discovered the full truth. Do we now stand at the threshold of knowing everything, or will our latest model also be rejected by our descendants?
