About This Item
Easton Press. Limited Numbered Edition. Hardcover, leather bound. Fine+/No dust jacket issued. In Fine+ condition and still in the binder/publisher issued cellophane wrap. Signed by Giorgio Parisi, winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics. Includes a collectors Certificate of Authenticity, also signed and endorsed by Parisi.
This special edition was limited to a restricted run of 260 signed and numbered editions. The number of this edition is unknown, as it has yet to be unsealed.
Published by Easton Press in genuine leather with 22 kt gold deeply inlaid on the hubbed spine. Acid neutral paper with sewn pages. Moire endpages and a satin-ribbon place holder. Printed and bound in the United States. Easton Press books are printed and bound with the expectation that they will last for generations of use.
In an interview given to The Guardian, Giorgio Parisi stated that he wrote this slim book as an attempt to "make the public aware of what science is and how science and culture are intertwined. The original idea was to describe how science is done. There's a growing lack of trust in science...In order to address this, it is very important to show how scientists do their work."
Written with straightforward charm, he begins the book exploring the murmurations of starlings and follows the metaphor to explore complexity of interdependence as it shows up in the dynamics of culture as well as nature.
