This book is definitely “one to grow by.”

We have a number of articles on Physics (and art) on the website. Just last Tuesday we published “A Note on the Teaching of School Science” in which Dr. Telford Petrie reminds us of Miss Mason’s view that the sciences should not be divorced from the humanities and the importance of personal observation in our approach to science.

Just pages in, Schlain offers a fascinating correlation between the subjectiveness of observer and observed not only in art, but in physics as well. The same subjectivity is at play as the scientist observing light affects whether it responds as a wave or a particle.

Have you read it? Would you?
