Product Description
In the tradition of Lewis Thomas, Stephen J. Gould, and Oliver Sacks, A View from the Divide, drawn from Creative Nonfiction, the only exclusively nonfiction literary journal, demonstrates the many ways in which aspects of the scientific world--from biology, medicine, physics, and astronomy--can be captured and dramatized for a humanities-oriented readership.... This powerful collection of nearly twenty essays captures an eclectic range of ideas combining literary style and intellectual substance.
