Power (Darwin College Lectures, Series Number 16)

From the secrets of the universe to the healing powers of music, this book draws on the passions of eight professionals who explore the "power" behind their own particular fields of interest, from the arts and humanities to the natural sciences. Their essays span the fascinating world of microscopic biochemical machines; the power of the cinema screen; democracy; mathematical knot theory; innovative new ways of producing energy to meet increasing world demands as well as the power of life and death. 9781107628267 1107628261 152 Science NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=gSLnngEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
