Burke; Taking Leave; About the Authors; Index. SYNOPSIS: What do we really mean when we say something is impossible? How does the prospect of impossibility shape our outlook and direct our struggles? In this unique, mind-opening book, twenty writers--from the poet to the mountain climber, the biologist to the chemist, the musician to the philosopher, the lawyer to the economist--probe the idea of the impossible. Each contributor explores the challenges, goals, limits, and illusions of the frontiers of human endeavor. The essays carry us into original, thought-provoking territory, where we discover that the notion of impossibility is surprisingly important to our visions and our very sense of self. Philip J. Davis is co-author, with Reuben Hersh, of Descartes' Dream and of The Mathematical Experience, which won an American Book Award. He teaches mathematics at Brown University. David Park, winner of a Phi Beta Kappa Science Book Award for The Image of Eternity, teaches physics at Williams College. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
