Curious Obsessions: The History of Science and Spirituality

Author: Rachael Kohn

ISBN: 9780733316388

Condition: Used

A captivating look at the famous and forgotten who emerged in times of extreme change and social disruption to change science and spirituality forever — the monk who kept banned books under the nose of the pope; explorers who searched for the lost tribes of Israel but found a new continent; the archaeologists who discovered the goddess just in time for feminism; and a current flock of priests and nuns who go wherever knowledge takes them. It is a delicious quirk of history that individuals dismissed as eccentrics are often those with the most impact on the world.
