Scientists weave incredible stories; invent wild hypotheses and ask difficult questions about the meaning of life. They create visual images; models and scenarios that are gruesome; baffling or beguiling. Contemporary scientists frequently talk about lsquo;beautyrsquo; and lsquo;elegancersquo; ndash; while artists hardly ever do. In this engaging book Siacirc;n Ede asks crucial questions about the implications of science for art and vice versa; the nature of beauty; the lsquo;battlersquo; between the arts and sciences; and art and the environment. Featuring the work of artists including Christine Borland; Dorothy Cross; Eduardo Kac; Bill Viola; Damien Hirst and Helen Chadwick; Art and Science illuminates both the world of science for the art reader and of contemporary art for the scientist. " Art and Science is a revelation; written with wit and clarity; showing us how artists have responded to scientific discoveries and theories; from eighteenth century anatomy to quantum theory; psychoanalysis and Complexity. Edes reading of contemporary art-works is fascinating; and the whole book opens ones eyes to the excitement of both the scientific and artistic endeavour." - Jenny Uglow; author of The Lunar Men"I am honored to be included in this book. Sian Ede has written the most comprehensive and knowledgeable text on the subject Ive ever seen; with a truly global perspective. A must for anyone interested in the collision of art and science." - Alexis Rockman

The "Real" Jon Bon Jovi!By a1daddysgirlIve only read a couple chapters so far; but Im a HUGE Bon Jovi fan and love this book filled with lots of colored black/white pictures. Jon is a very warm-hearted; down to earth person who is not afraid to let us see his inner self. He is very close with the band - especially Richie Samboro; for whom he has nothing but high praise. I bought the hardcover book and do NOT regret it! LOVE IT!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Freakin awesome!By J. A. Du HaimeLook; I have liked Bon Jovi since 1985 when I first heard U give love a bad name....So Im a little biased. However; This CD and DVD are just so good. The entire CD has great lyrics and music. The songwriting team of Jon and Richie is right up there with the best of them.You need to buy this. You wont regret it. The DVD is awesome too. :)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
