The result is a whimsical celebration of the wonder that inspires every new discovery, and a breathtaking tour of new work by contemporary visionaries, that will pique your curiosity and make you marvel at the power of both science and art.

Product Description
Review
"This highly browsable volume puts a new lens to the long-time relationship between art and science.... Each entry admirably articulates a complex topic in concise and engaging ways.... Volvovski, Rothman, and Lamothe offer a stunning collection that reimagines scientific wonder and that is an eloquent argument for slow living in an age of immediate access." -- Science

Nice to have a flick through and learn about the mysteries of the universe. Looks great and plenty to read

I love the fact that it combines the (seemingly) polar opposites of art and physics into one book. Finally! It's a really good book to either read from start to finish, or just simply flick through and read up on one or two things- enjoying the variety of artwork along with it.

Bought this for my 11 year old nephew for Christmas. He LOVED it and was totally absorbed, read it cover to cover and told us stuff back. Great illustrations and another wonderful way to bring science to life.
