Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. With contributions from both sides of the science/humanities divide, this is a quirky collection of essays on science and the imagination.

The essays deal with topics such as the invention of the phonograph, the Victorian delight in robots and automata such as the steel tarantula spider which crawls out of its box and runs around, microphotography and the minuscule, and the Internet and the British.
