Beauty challenges conventional approaches to the subject through an
interdisciplinary approach that forges connections between the
arts, sciences and mathematics. Classical, conventional aspects of
beauty are addressed in subtle, unexpected ways: symmetry in
mathematics, attraction in the animal world and beauty in the
cosmos. This collection arises from the Darwin College Lecture
Series of 2011 and includes essays from eight distinguished
scholars, all of whom are held in esteem not only for their
research but also for their ability to communicate their subject to
popular audiences. Each essay is entertaining, accessible and
thought-provoking and is accompanied by images illustrating beauty
in practice. Contributors include the artist Jose Hernandez, Nobel
Prize Laureate Frank Wilczek, Lord May of Oxford and Jeanne Altmann
(Eugene Higgins Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at
Princeton University).
