Environmental Legacies of the Copernican Universe

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book re-envisions the cosmos with the holistic, spherical imagination of the Middle Ages, figured in circles, cycles, epicycles, equants, and offers a new perspective on the power of images and metaphors to shape the way humans see the universe and their own role in it.
