Dawkins, Richard, Climbing Mount Improbable, W. W. Norton & Company 1997 Amazon editorial review: 'How do species evolve? Richard Dawkins, one of the world's most eminent zoologists, likens the process to scaling a huge, Himalaya-size peak, the Mount Improbable of his title. An alpinist does not leap from sea level to the summit; neither does a species utterly change forms overnight, but instead follows a course of "slow, cumulative, one-step-at-a-time, non-random survival of random variants" -- a course that Charles Darwin, Dawkins's great hero, called natural selection. Illustrating his arguments with case studies from the natural world, such as the evolution of the eye and the lung, and the coevolution of certain kinds of figs and wasps, Dawkins provides a vigorous, entertaining defense of key Darwinian ideas.'

Feynman, Richard P, and Robert B Leighton, Matthew Sands, The Feynman Lectures on Physics (volume 3) : Quantum Mechanics, Addison Wesley 1970 Foreword: 'This set of lectures tries to elucidate from the beginning those features of quantum mechanics which are the most basic and the most general. ... In each instance the ideas are introduced together with a detailed discussion of some specific examples - to try to make the physical ideas as real as possible.' Matthew Sands

Lodge, David, Small World, Penguin 1995 Amazon Editorial Review
'The unbridled greed, pettiness, buffoonery and intellectual gobbledygook in the world of higher scholarship are the topics of this thorough and thoroughly funny roman a' English department. It's interesting for a couple of reasons, aside from its humor and spoofiness: it's an insider's view of things -- always the best kind -- and it takes its old-fashioned time telling a story, complete with reasonable digressions about the state of literary criticism and what may or may not be a realistic view of the academic life.'

| Zentrum Paul Klee Bern Genesis - The Art of Creation 'The Zentrum Paul Klee dedicates its first temporary exhibition in 2008 to creation. It is a topic that plays a central role in art and genetics. Our project is based on a concept designed in cooperation with the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, The Netherlands, expanded for the Zentrum Paul Klee.
Connections with Paul Klee's work are self-evident: the term 'genesis' and the theme of creation are central to Klee's thinking and oeuvre. The artist saw himself as a creator directing the genesis of his works. His method may be compared to that of a scientist: having explored natural or geometric structures in detail, he followed specific rules in the transfer to his medium, i.e. drawing or painting. In his writings Paul Klee also expressed himself on the relationship between science and the fine arts.' back |
