{"product_id":"9780861549115","title":"Origins : The Cosmos in Verse by Joseph Conlon","description":"There raged a thumping cosmic ballyhoo,A manic dance – a rumpus to arouseThe universe: of Higgs and W,Electrons, gluons, muons, Zs and taus…For centuries poetry and science have been improbable, yet constant, bedfellows. Chaucer was an amateur astronomer; Milton broke bread with Galileo; and, before turning to the arts, Keats was a doctor. Meanwhile, scientific luminaries like Ada Lovelace and James Clerk Maxwell moonlighted as poets, composing verse between experiments and equations.\u003cp\u003eFollowing in this tradition, theoretical physicist Joseph Conlon spins a dazzling intergalactic epic. Drawing on his scientific expertise, Conlon reveals the origins of our universe through two long-form poems – ‘Elements’ and ‘Galaxies’. Journeying from the Big Bang to the edges of our ever-expanding cosmos, Origins offers a delightful and revelatory adventure through contemporary physics.\u003c\/p\u003e,\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Binding: Paperback,\u003cbr\u003ePagination: 160 pages","brand":"Oneworld Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45661714252003,"sku":"9780861549115","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1701\/6275\/files\/9780861549115.jpg?v=1730294385","url":"https:\/\/www.harbourbookshop.co.uk\/products\/9780861549115","provider":"The Harbour Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
