Sobre este artículo
London: Headline, 2002. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. The book begins by looking at the historical links between magic and science, and exploring the archaeological and anthropological evidence for witchcraft and dragons. Roger Highfield then focuses on some of the magic that appears in the Harry Potter stories, much of it having a long tradition, such as invisibility cloaks and broomsticks, and shows how cutting edge science can explain much of it, with wormholes, general relativity and other exciting new concepts..
Sinopsis
Can Fluffy the three-headed dog be explained by advances in molecular biology? Could the discovery of cosmic "gravity-shielding effects" unlock the secret to the Nimbus 2000 broomstick's ability to fly? Is the griffin really none other than the dinosaur Protoceratops? Roger Highfield, author of the critically acclaimed The Physics of Christmas , explores the fascinating links between magic and science to reveal that much of what strikes us as supremely strange in the Potter books can actually be explained by the conjurings of the scientific mind. This is the perfect guide for parents who want to teach their children science through their favorite adventures as well as for the millions of adult fans of the series intrigued by its marvels and mysteries.
