Summary: Making Sense of Science and Art
Comment: An instant after picking up this book I knew I had finally found a worthwhile treatment of science-art relationships. The impeccable good taste exhibited in the choice of illustrations, some of which are new and stunning, the fine layout, and the incisive prose devoid of the usual desultory obfuscations all point to a refreshing, enlightening experience. Lynn Gamwell's broad knowledge of both science and art illuminates her subject crisply. The prose is clear, devoid of any condescension. Her subjects range widely. Every page brings new delights and insights inextricably linking science and art, so confidently presented one wonders why all the recent overblown clutter surrounding this subject was ever printed.
One curious omission in the book is the role of the computer in the science-art relationship. One does not find the word "computer" in the index, nor the word "digital". Yet, some very modern examples are given, e.g recent Hubble telescope images. One can only hope this means she is saving this topic for another book.
