Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
The Poetry of Physics explores the intersection of science and art, blending the intricate beauty of physics with the evocative power of poetry. This unique work takes readers on a journey through the physical world, from the delicate patterns of living organisms to the vast reaches of the cosmos.
Structured in four sections ? living physics, environmental physics, celestial physics, and a guide on writing your own poems ? this book offers both scientific insights and poetic reflections, providing a richer understanding of both fields. The final section provides practical guidance on crafting your own physics-inspired poetry, encouraging active participation in this tradition of blending scientific and artistic inquiry.
Ideal for those who appreciate both science and the arts, whether they are physicists, aspiring poets, or curious minds seeking to explore the world and our place within it.
?Science interleaved with poetry? a wonderful, rich, combination of a summary of the research into a topical issue, the scientific facts established and a poetic response to the issues raised! It?s great!
Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell, University of Oxford, UK
?Sam Illingworth has fused the poet part of his nature with the physicist he studied to become and produced a novel formula for interpreting scientific research. The Poetry of Physics ? part data, part emotional response, part vision in verse ? is the happy outcome.?
Dava Sobel, poetry editor at Scientific American, author of Galileo's Daughter
?The Poetry of Physics opens a welcome, helpful door between two realms often considered utterly separate. Well-chosen science anecdotes become expressive poems that demonstrate how the often-alien language of scientific papers can be translated into very human contexts.?
Alice Major, poet, author of Welcome to the Anthropocene
