Author Harry Robin has assembled scores of intriguing images, including an ancient Chinese pulse chart; stroboscopic photographs, PET scans, and computer graphics, a detailed rendering of fossil layers in a mountain sliced by glacial erosion, astronomical drawings from the tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh, and diagrams of sixteenth-century methods for treating crossed eyes and an injured spine. Each illustration is accompanied by an insightful, accessible commentary, in which Robin explains the image and its context. | ||
