The Alchemy of Breathing / Laffoley, Paul., 1991

 Item
Identifier: CC-07234-7376
Scope and Contents

This text provides an interpretation of the drawing Laffoley made for "The Beauty in Breathing" exhibition. Laffoley links breathing with spirit, the soul and yoga. The lungs function as alchemy insofar as breathing transforms substance. He relates the first breath and each subsequent breath to a rhythmic interplay of life and death. The lungs as a physical entity are depicted as a labyrinth and their folds are numbered as two Fibonacci series, to emphasize breathing in & out. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item
Identifier: CC-53186-74338
Scope and Contents This copy is the first edition, first printing.Amazon.com Review: The product of an agreeably dotty cleric named Edwin Abbott Abbott and first published in 1884, Flatland distills all that the Victorian era knew of higher mathematics--and then some--into a witty, complex novel of ideas.Ian Stewart, the author of the equally witty sequel, Flatterland--which adds to Abbott's store of science the key discoveries made since--does a superb job of explaining the original book's enigmas, allusions, ironies, implausibilities, and what Douglas Hofstadter would call "metamagical themas." Among other things, Stewart comments on Abbott's comments on such things as the nature/nurture controversy, the fourth dimension and beyond, the role of multidimensional spaces in economic systems, infinite series and perfect squares, celestial mechanics, and other matters close to the hearts of cosmologists and science buffs alike. Stewart's notes make an entertaining and learned addition to an already...
