{"product_id":"book-i2ol","title":"Eclipse and Revelation","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo questions guide this seven-year project: First, how can we approach the phenomenon, representation, and interpretation of total solar eclipses? Second, how can we heal the historical divide separating the natural sciences from the humanities, arts, history, music, and theology?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eThe result of this interdisciplinary investigation into eclipses is an exciting look behind the scenes—into labs, archives, museums, studies, around fieldwork in astronomy, meteorology, animal behaviour, and ecophysiology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eCarefully prepared for readers from all backgrounds, \u003cem\u003eEclipse \u0026amp; Revelation\u003c\/em\u003e gathers the perspectives of fourteen international experts and public intellectuals representing more than two dozen fields and disciplines. Their voices invite us to imagine a liberated mode of discovery, perception, creativity, and knowledge-production across the traditional academic divisions. Didactic chapter introductions and glossaries help readers to orient themselves in each new specialty. A uniquely prismatic representation of total solar eclipses emerges, itself rising to a model of communal thinking, together, across disciplinary borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eThis book is Tom McLeish’s final project and scholarly testament. Dedicated to him and to astrophysicist Jay M. Pasachoff (contributing author of a chapter about the solar corona, also Pasachoff’s final piece of writing), the volume is a friendly companion to the chase of knowledge, encouraging its readers to embark upon their own interdisciplinary journey of discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Wonderful and wonder-full!
