In the world of quantum mechanics, uncertainty and ambiguity become not just unavoidable, but essential ingredients of science. Now, at last, someone explains it all. Astronomer, theoretical physicist, and science writer David Lindley has created a short, highly intelligent but irreverent guide to quantum physics that finally explains why the strange effects that manifest themselves at the quantum level disappear once we return to the "real" w...

The masque had a brief but splendid life as the dominant mode of entertainment at the early Stuart court. Extravagant multi-media happenings, court masques were filled with arcane allegorical references and frequently commented on political issues of the day. This selection, the most substantial available, brings together eighteen masques, tracing the evolution of the genre from Jonson's early masques for King James I to Davenant's 1640 masque...

David Lindley was born in 1945. The poems in this collection are reflections on a post-war childhood, growing up in the industrial West Riding of Yorkshire. They range from short untitled poems with a haiku-like quality, to longer poems which, perhaps, exorcise some demons that occasionally still haunt the poet's waking and dreaming life.

A vivid and captivating narrative about how modern science broke free of ancient philosophy, and how theoretical physics is returning to its unscientific rootsIn the early seventeenth century Galileo broke free from the hold of ancient Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy. He drastically changed the framework through which we view the natural world when he asserted that we should base our theory of reality on what we can observe rather than pu...

The collection also includes a number of translations and versions from the Japanese and Chinese.

This updated edition includes a thoroughly revised introduction and reading list to reflect the latest directions in criticism and performance.

We do not know how we came to be here and our lives, in a manner of speaking, are lived for us. We accept life because we are unable to refuse it. We suffer a given condition, and we ourselves are inescapably material elements of that given condition. All our anxieties about it, and all our attempts to redeem our condition by some solving word or idea never take us beyond the stuff of thinking, where questions and answers share the same uncert...

A collection of poems tracking the changing weather of love and the seasons through a single year.

Nel 1927 il giovane fisico tedesco Werner Heisenberg sfidò secoli di conoscenze scientifiche introducendo il "principio di indeterminazione". Attraverso la nuova teoria quantistica Heisenberg dimostrava che dall'osservazione di un fenomeno si può ottenere un'informazione solo a costo di perderne un'altra. La sua teoria implica che quantità e concetti scientifici non hanno un significato assoluto e indipendente, ma che lo acquistano soltanto gr...
