| Title | The Beauty of Space Art : An Illustrated Journey Through the Cosmos |
| Author(s) | Ramer, Jon;Miller, Ron |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | XVI, 301 p. 310 illus., 282 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Long before humans wrote, we painted. From mud and ash to acrylic and computers, artists across the centuries have found countless inventive ways to explore and express some of life???s biggest mysteries. Enter space art, a genre of artistic expression that strives to capture the wonders of our universe. This lavishly illustrated book chronicles the remarkable development of space art from a fledgling theme to a modern movement. In Part I, we traverse the history of art and astronomy from ancient times, through the industrial revolution, and into the 20th-century Space Age. Part II delves into the diverse techniques and subgenres of space art, where you will learn about things like rocks and balls, hardware art, and cosmic expressionism. Along the way, we???ll stop at places where neither humans nor spacecraft can easily go, from the scorching surface of Venus and the radiation-soaked volcanoes of Io to the depths of Jupiter???s liquid hydrogen seas. Featuring hundreds of original color images from space artists and astronomers alike, this book is a vivid visual story about the power of art, astronomy, and human curiosity. A heavily revised edition of the originalBeauty of Space, it will entertain, educate, and inspire anybody who yearns to make sense of the strange and surreal sights in our universe. |

| Title | On Art and Science : Tango of an Eternally Inseparable Duo |
| Author(s) | Wuppuluri, Shyam;Wu, Dali |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XVIII, 353 p. 87 illus., 34 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Einstein once remarked "After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in aesthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well". In this volume, some of the world???s leading thinkers come together to expound on the interrelations between sciences and arts. While one can segregate art and place it outside the scientific realm, it is, nevertheless, inextricably linked to our essential cognitive/emotional/perceptual modalities and abilities, and therefore lies alongside and in close contact with the method of science and philosophy. What inspiration can scientists draw from art and how can scientific spirit foster our understanding and creation of aesthetic works? How are art and science grounded in our cognition? What role does perception play in science and art? Are criteria for beauty in art and science the same? How does evolution shape our understanding of art? How do science, art and scientifico-artistic frameworks shape society as a whole and help us address its pressing issues? The epistemological and ontological aspects haunt artists, philosophers and scientists alike. The essays in this volume address these manifold questions while also elucidating the pragmatic role they play in our daily life. |

| Title | Light Science : Physics and the Visual Arts |
| Author(s) | Rossing, Thomas D;Chiaverina, Christopher J |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XI, 490 p. 351 illus., 319 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Why is the sky blue? What is the nature of light? What can visual illusions tell us about the nature of perception? In this fully revised edition of the classic textbook, Professors Rossing and Chiaverina present the science of light ??? that is, the science behind what and how we see. Their approach emphasizes phenomena rather than mathematical theories, and the joy of discovery rather than the drudgery of derivations ??? the opposite of "heavy science". The text explores such topics as: the effects of mirrors and prisms on the color of light; the optics of the eye and camera; the physiology of the eye and the nature of color vision; the different kinds of sources of light; compact discs; photography and holography; symmetry in art and nature; color in printing and painting; and computer imaging and processing. It includes numerous problems, questions for discussion, and suggestions for simple experiments to support interactive learning. This updated edition contains a wealth of new full-color artwork, and information on the latest developments in light source and display technologies. Requiring no prior knowledge of physics, it will appeal to students and any reader interested in the visual arts |

| Title | Spirals and Vortices : In Culture, Nature, and Science |
| Author(s) | Tsuji, Kinko;M??ller, Stefan C |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XVI, 298 p. 197 illus., 133 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This richly illustrated book explores the fascinating and ubiquitous occurrence of spirals and vortices in human culture and in nature. Spiral forms have been used as elements in the arts for thousands of years, whereas their role in nature and science ??? from DNA and sea shells to galaxies ??? is still a topic of investigation in numerous fields. Following an introduction to the cultural history of spiral forms, the book presents contributions from leading experts, who describe the origins, mechanisms and dynamics of spirals and vortices in their special fields. As a whole the book provides a valuable source of information, while also taking the reader on an aesthetic and scientific journey through the world of spiral forms |

| Title | The Sky in Early Modern English Literature : A Study of Allusions to Celestial Events in Elizabethan and Jacobean Writing, 1572-1620 |
| Author(s) | Levy, David H |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2011. |
| Description | XXIX, 111 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | When a dissertation gets completed, the normal rule is that it is never read. By anyone.????David H. Levy???s dissertation - The Sky in Early Modern English Literature:?? A Study of Allusions to Celestial Events in Elizabethan and Jacobean Writing, 1572-1620 - is different.?? It opens a whole new interdisciplinary field, which involves the beautiful relationship between the night sky and the works of the early modern period of English Literature.?? Although the sky enters into much of literature through the ages, the period involving William Shakespeare and his colleagues is particularly rich.?? ???????????????????????? When Shakespeare was about 8 years old, his father probably took him outside his Stratford home into their northward-facing back yard.?? There, father and son gazed upon the first great new star visible in the past 500 years, shining forth as brightly as Venus, and even visible in daylight.?? This new star, which we now know as a supernova, completely unhinged old ideas about the cosmos.?? Combined with a parade of bright comets, a second bright new star in 1604, and a series of eclipses, people began to look at the sky more seriously.?? In this book, Levy explores how the sky of that period was reflected in its literature. ???????????????????????? Levy???s ultimate goal in this book is to inspire his readers to do the same thing as their ancestors did so long ago???look at the sky and appreciate how those long-gone authors read the sky |

| Title | Celestial Sleuth : Using Astronomy to Solve Mysteries in Art, History and Literature |
| Author(s) | Olson, Donald W |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2014. |
| Description | XVII, 355 p. 165 illus., 113 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Many mysteries in art, history, and literature can be solved using ???forensic??? astronomy, including calculating phases of the Moon, determining the positions of the planets and stars, and identifying celestial objects. In addition to helping to crack difficult cases, such studies spark our imagination and provide a better understanding of the skies. Weather facts, volcanic studies, topography, tides, historical letters and diaries, military records and the friendly assistance of experts in related fields help with the work. ?? Topics or cases pursued were chosen for their wide public recognition and intrigue and involve artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet; historical events such as the Battle of Marathon, Julius Caesar's invasion of Britain, and World War II; and literary authors such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Mary Shelley. ?? For each historical event influenced by astronomy, there is a different kind of mystery to be solved. For example, how can the Moon help to explain the sinking of the Titanic and a turning point of the American Civil War? For each literary reference to astronomy, which celestial objects were being described and was the author describing an actual event? ?? Follow these exciting investigations with Donald Olson, a master ???celestial sleuth,??? as he tracks down the truth and helps unravel mysteries as far back as ancient history and as recent as the haunting paintings of Edvard Munch |

| Title | Light Science : Physics and the Visual Arts |
| Author(s) | Rossing, Thomas D;Chiaverina, Christopher J |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 1999. |
| Description | XVI, 442 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Visual arts depend on light to communicate, and an understanding of the physical properties of light and color should enhance the communication for both the artist and the viewer. This book is intended for students in the visual arts and for others with an interest in art, but with no prior knowledge of physics. It presents the science of light - that is, the science behind what and how we see. The approach emphasizes phenomena rather than mathematical theories and the joy of discovery rather than the drudgery of derivations - the opposite of "heavy science". The text includes numerous problems, questions for discussion, and suggestions for simple experiments. It considers such questions as - why is the sky blue? - what is the nature of light? - how do mirrors and prisms affect the color of light? - how do compact disks work? - what can visual illusions tell us about the nature of perception? And it discusses such topics as: the optics of the eye and camera; the physiology of the eye and the nature of color vision; the different kinds of sources of light; photography and holography; symmetry in art and nature; color in printing and painting; computer imaging and processing |
