: Scientists weave incredible stories, invent wild hypotheses and ask        :
: difficult questions about the meaning of life. They create visual images,  :
: models and scenarios that are gruesome, baffling or beguiling. Contemporar :
: scientists frequently talk about 'beauty' and 'elegance' - while artists   :
: hardly ever do. In this engaging book Sian Ede asks crucial questions abou :
: the implications of science for art and vice versa, the nature of beauty,  :
: the 'battle' between the arts and sciences, and art and the environment.   :
: Featuring the work of artists including Christine Borland, Dorothy Cross,  :
: Eduardo Kac, Bill Viola, Damien Hirst and Helen Chadwick, Art and Science  :
: illuminates both the world of science for the art reader and of            :
: contemporary art for the scientist. " 'Art and Science' is a revelation,   :
: written with wit and clarity, showing us how artists have responded to     :
: scientific discoveries and theories, from eighteenth century anatomy to    :
: quantum theory, psychoanalysis and Complexity. Ede's reading of            :
: contemporary art-works is fascinating, and the whole book opens one's eyes :
: to the excitement of both the scientific and artistic endeavour." - Jenny  :
: Uglow, author of The Lunar Men "I am honored to be included in this book.  :
: Sian Ede has written the most comprehensive and knowledgeable text on the  :
: subject I've ever seen, with a truly global perspective. A must for anyone :
: interested in the collision of art and science." - Alexis Rockman          :
