Product Information

William Shakespeare lived at a remarkable time--a period we now recognize as the first phase of the Scientific Revolution. New ideas were transforming Western thought, the medieval was giving way to the modern, and the work of a few key figures hinted at the brave new world to come: the methodical and rational Galileo, the skeptical Montaigne, and--as Falk convincingly argues--Shakespeare, who observed human nature just as intently as the astronomers who studied the night sky. In The Science of Shakespeare, we meet a colorful cast of Renaissance thinkers, including Thomas Digges, who published the first English account of the "new astronomy" and lived in the same neighborhood as Shakespeare; Thomas Harriot--"England's Galileo"--who aimed a telescope at the night sky months ahead of his Italian counterpart; and Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, whose observatory-castle stood within sight of Elsinore, chosen by Shakespeare as the setting for Hamlet --and whose family crest happened to include the names "Rosencrans" and "Guildensteren." And then there's Galileo himself: As Falk shows, his telescopic observations may have influenced one of Shakespeare's final works. Dan Falk's The Science of Shakespeare explores the connections between the famous playwright and the beginnings of the Scientific Revolution--and how, together, they changed the world forever.

Dan Falk's book provides perhaps the best guide to the scientific worldview prevailing in the Elizabethan Age.

Falk's narrative voice is smooth, reasonable, likable., [Falk] has a wonderful gift for finding helpful analogies and for writing about science in a way that is accessible without sounding dumbed down., Falk endorses the idea that the best hope for a so-called theory of everything is in string theory, a difficult area of sicence that Falk nevertheless deftly unravels for the uninitiated., Readers will thank Falk for putting Shakespeare and Galileo on the same well-illuminated world stage., A highly entertaining and informative book...

Falk sheds enormous light on the Elizabethan outlook and particular puzzles in the plays, all the while entertaining us in a most engaging way., Praise for In Search of Time : "What Hawking's [ A Brief History of Time ] should have been." - Ottawa Citizen "Falk seamlessly combines science with literary and philosophical observations… and digresses to fascinating topics like root notions of past and future, the vagaries of memory, and the behavior of birds at breakfast time." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Time is a big subject and Falk is up to the task." - The Globe and Mail "In this thoroughly readable, broad-sweeping, and thought-provoking book, Falk surveys humanity's attempts to record and understand time, and poses some fascinating questions." - New Scientist magazine "Falk displays a deft touch with both temporal history and experimentation." - Toronto Star "Accessible and Entertaining." - Financial Times "Falk is a great writer." -BBC Focus "Dan Falk is a riveting writer: his latest book is almost unputdownable." -Martin J.
