This is an eye-opening book, I'm lucky to find it and read it, I wish I would have a hard copy instead of an electronic one. The book describes how artists and scientists are trying to give meaning and beauty to human discoveries in science. Maybe not all the art that is presented is what we like or are used to, but I love that they are doing an effort to fill the gap. The book shows that. Have some marvelous descriptions along the chapters. I highly recommend it to people interested in science, engineering, and arts as an appreciation of human knowledge.
