Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Condition: VG. 200 pages. Dust Jacket Condition: VG. 1st Edition, Fifth Printing. Illustrated with wood engravings by Clare Leighton. SUMMARY:"Poets have always been interested in the world about them -- in scientific discoveries and the men who made them. Sometimes, because of their special sensitivities, they have even anticipated the scientists and have written about such subjects as evolution and space-time with great insight and foresight. Mrs. Plotz has gathered together a startling and exciting collection of poems; startling to those who have assumed that mathematics and science had little in common with poetry, exciting to those lovers of poetry to whom the beauties of mathematics and science have never been manifested.There are poems about astronomy, geography, and physics; about chemistry, biology, and medicine. And there are poems about the scientists themselves -- from Euclid to Einstein -- men whose vision, no less than that of the poets, has illuminated the universe for us." Features poems by William Blake, T.S. Eliot, Ralph Walso Emerson, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Emily Dickinson, William Wordsworth, Carl Sandburg, and many more.
