Beyond the Two Cultures: Essays on Science, Technology, and LiteratureJoseph W. Slade, Judith Yaross Lee Iowa State University Press, 1990 - 308 Seiten Contains--under these topical heads: The texts of nature; Quests for paradigms; Literary responses to science and technology (the latter with these sub-heads: Newtonian mechanics and the romantic rebellion; The mataphorical allure of modern physics; Imaginative responses to mechanization; Scientists and inventors as literary heroes)--a total of fourteen essays by diverse academic authors. Good stuff, carefully edited and well produced, likely to appeal most strongly to college and university faculty who have already on their syllabi the name of C.P. Snow.
