Title: I don't have a Nobel in Physics like Dr. Phillips, but
Review: maybe that makes me a better, more an "Average Joe", reviewer. Besides his review came directly off the back cover of the book. Mr. Atalay has written a wonderful book. It isn't just about math and the Mona Lisa but marries the history of art with the history of science in a delightful and insightful way. His digressions and endnotes are copious,entertaining and enlightening. I rank it with Margaret Livingstone's "Vision and Art, the Biology of Seeing", as must reads for painters and those interested in painting.But, this is not an easy read or a book to speed read. To wring the greatest benefit from your $16 investment, plan to take time to reflect on the contents and their implications.
Is the review positive or negative?
