The Fourth Dimension and Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art, revised edition
The long-awaited new edition of a groundbreaking work on the impact of alternative concepts of space on modern art. In this groundbreaking study, first published in 1983 and unavailable for over a decade, Linda Dalrymple Henderson demonstrates that two concepts of space beyond immediate perception—the curved spaces of non-Euclidean geometry and, most important, a higher, fourth dimension of space—were central to the development of modern art.

That iconoclastic idea encouraged radical innovation by a variety of early twentieth-century artists, rangi...
From Energy to Information
This book offers an innovative examination of the interactions of science and technology, art, and literature in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Scholars in the history of art, literature, architecture, computer science, and media studies focus on five historical themes in the transition from energy to information: thermodynamics, electromagnetism, inscription, information theory, and virtuality. Different disciplines are grouped around specific moments in the history of science and technology in order to sample the modes of representation invented or adapted by each field in response to newly developed scientific concepts and models. By placing literary fictions and the plastic arts...

U-FO
U-FO: One Way Ticket to Oblivion By: Bob Doti Welcome to Project Blue Book: the Air Force’s Top Secret study of UFOs. This combination historical novel and science fiction story written by a scientist makes the unbelievable believable. The explanation of the cover-up encompasses the years from the inception of Project Blue Book in 1953 to its termination in 1969 with the Condon Report.

For the true believer, it is a confirmation that they hold the true version of history. This book should encourage a discussion: Are we alone? Does the government have the proof? Does the cover-up continue to this day?
