| Title | Galileo's muse: Renaissance Mathematics and the Arts |
| Author(s) | Mark A. Peterson |
| Publication | Cambridge, Harvard University Press, 2011. |
| Description | vi, 336p. |
| Abstract Note | Mark Peterson makes an extraordinary claim in this fascinating book focused around the life and thought of Galileo: it was the mathematics of Renaissance arts, not Renaissance sciences, that became modern science. Galileo's Muse argues that painters, poets, musicians, and architects brought about a scientific revolution that eluded the philosopher-scientists of the day, steeped as they were in a medieval cosmos and its underlying philosophy.

| Title | Einstein and Oppenheimer: The meaning of genius |
| Author(s) | Silvan S. Schweber |
| Publication | Cambridge, Harvard University Press, 2008. |
| Description | xiv, 412p. |
| Abstract Note | Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer, two iconic scientists of the twentieth century, belonged to different generations, with the boundary marked by the advent of quantum mechanics. By exploring how these men differedâin their worldview, in their work, and in their dayâthis book provides powerful insights into the lives of two critical figures and into the scientific culture of their times. In Einsteinâs and Oppenheimerâs philosophical and ethical positions, their views of nuclear weapons, their ethnic and cultural commitments, their opinions on the unification of physics, even the role of Buddhist detachment in their thinking, the book traces the broader issues that have shaped science and the world. |
