ISBN10: 0521773512, ISBN13: 9780521773515, [publisher: Cambridge University Press] Hardcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In Masks of the Universe, Edward Harrison brings together fundamental scientific, philosophical and religious issues in cosmology and raises thought provoking questions. Philosophical issues dominated cosmology in the ancient world. Theological issues ranked foremost in the Middle Ages; astronomy and the physical sciences have taken over in more recent times. Yet every attempt to grasp the true nature of the universe creates a new 'mask,' People have always pitied the universes of their ancestors, believing that their generation has at last discovered the 'real' universe. Do we now stand at the threshold of knowing everything, or have we created yet another 'mask,' doomed to fade like those preceding ours Edward Harrison is Adjunct Professor of Astronomy, Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, and Emeritus Professor of Physics and Astronomy, University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He worked as a scientist for the Atomic Energy Research Establishment and the Rutherford High Energy Laboratory in England until 1966 when he became a Five College professor at the University of Massachusetts and taught at Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith College. He is the author of numerous books, including Cosmology: the Science of the Universe (Cambridge, 2001)

Cambridge:: Cambridge University Press, Date: 2002., 2002. 8vo. ix, 331 pp. Figs., index. Black gilt-stamped cloth. 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 ...
