Condition: New. Idolatry and Infinity: Of Art, Math, and God (Paperback or Softback).

Paperback. Condition: New. 1st ed. Softcover of orig. ed. 2007. These historical narratives of scientific behavior reveal the often irrational way scientists arrive at and assess their theories. The book clearly demonstrates that the greatest minds throughout history arrived at their famous scientific theories in very unorganized ways and they often did not fully grasp the significance and implications of their own work.

Outside a circle of specialized academics, these little-known yet fascinating stories are told in a clear and engaging style to captivate the scientific-educated reader. A theme running throughout the book is the notion that what is obvious today was not so in the past. Scientists seen in their historical context shatter myths and show them to be less modern than we often like to think of them.…
