| Description: |
Is there order in the universe? In this thrilling and beautifully illustrated investigation of cosmic convergence and coincidence, acclaimed author Lawrence Weschler tries to make sense of the world... |
| Synopsis: |
From a cuneiform tablet to a Chicago prison, from the depths of the cosmos to the text on our T-shirts, Lawrence Weschler finds strange connections wherever he looks. The farther (and further) one travels (through geography, through art, through science, through time), the more everything seems to converge ? at least, it does through Weschler's giddy, brilliant eyes. Weschler combines his keen insights into art (both contemporary and Renaissance), his years of experience as a chronicler of the fall of Communism, and his triumphs and failures as the father of a teenage girl into a series of articles ? complemented by color photos and illustrations throughout ? that are sure to illuminuate, educate, and astound. |
