From Einstein's visit to New York City in 1921 to the impact of the atomic bomb, the author traces the flow of ideas about physics through culture, linking the new physics with modern approaches to art found in Cubism, Futurism, Dada and Surrealism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Fountain Eames\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350299820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350299825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Rachel Fountain Eames","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069638373631,"sku":"9781350299825","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f4fccde-1f56-4d54-ada8-bfae900cb8a5.jpg?v=1685425719","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/physics-and-the-modernist-avant-garde-rachel-fountain-eames-9781350299825","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
