Humans are seekers, forever striving to make sense of the multiple worlds in which they live: the skies above, the depths below, earthbound environments, and the body itself. Worlds Unfolding explores this insatiable drive through The Huntington Library鈥檚 extraordinary collections in science, medicine, and technology, which span from the tenth century to today. The book, a five-volume slipcase set, provokes questions fundamental to this pursuit of knowledge. Through suggestive texts and more than 800 illustrations, Worlds Unfolding presents stories featuring the unexpected twists, turns, and conceptual leaps of science.
Each volume in the boxed set focuses on a specific realm of human curiosity鈥擜bove (astronomy, aviation, aerospace); Below (geology, mining, oceanography); Within (anatomy, medicine, electricity); Beyond (exploration, science fiction); and Alive (natural history, ecosystems). This dynamic, multidisciplinary approach addresses the ongoing, imperfect evolution of human inquiry. Across centuries of trial and error, illusion and triumph, the history of science is a continuously unfolding quest.
The e-book edition of this book includes all five volumes.
