First Edition
Near Fine in publishers cloth in like dustjacket. 1st edition. Thuan recounts how a profound change in our worldview has come about, as the Newtonian picture of a sterile mechanistic and deterministic world, which dominated Western thought for 300 years, has, in the 20th century, given way to a liberated world brimming with creativity. We now recognise that reality is moulded by contingent events. The book details, in clear prose, how this sweeping change in world view has come about, using examples drawn from Astronomy, Physics, Biology and Mathematics. The science is presented soberly and accurately, but the book is suffused with passion and effectively communicates the feelings and values which accompany scientific understanding. ISBN 0195129172.
