Sobre este artículo
London: The Bodley Head. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2014. First Edition. Hardcover. 1847922899 . With illustrations, a very good copy in very good dustjacket. Invisible presents the first comprehensive survey of the roles that the idea of invisibility has played throughout time and culture. This territory takes us from medieval grimoires to cutting-edge nanotechnology, from fairy tales to telecommunications, from camouflage to early cinematography, and from beliefs about ghosts to the dawn of nuclear physics and the discovery of dark energy. We need to attend to many voices: to Plato and Shakespeare, to James Clerk Maxwell and Victorian music-hall magicians. We will discover new worlds: some of them already known, some sheer fantasy, others whose existence has been asserted but is yet to be proved. ; 240 x 160mm; [xii], 320 pages .
