Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder - Richard Dawkins

Descriere

Did Newton unweave the rainbow by reducing it to its prismatic colors, as Keats contended, and so diminish beauty? Far from it, says the author, an acclaimed scientist. He says Newton's unweaving is the key to much of modern astronomy and to the poetry of modern cosmology, in this tribute to scientific exploration.
