　　The Earth Is Dancing was the latest work by Mo-Jen Wang after his migration from Taiwan to the United States. After 24 years of inner thinking and reflection, the book was organized in present actions and past experiences intertwined through streams of consciousness. Besides the author’s own experiences for almost a lifetime, he eventually proposed an ultimate ideal and hope of “the Whole World United as One.” The publication of The Earth Is Dancing in Taiwan is to honor such an author not only in Literary World in Chinese but also up on the stage of the World Literature. 目錄 Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three Chapter Four Chapter Five Chapter Six Chapter Seven Chapter Eight

BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE HEAVENS

類似書籍推薦給您

Consisting of separate cases organized by chapter and divided into independent sections, this is no ordinary history of science book. Between the Earth and the Heavens is an episodic history of modern physical sciences covering the chronological development of physics, chemistry and astronomy since about 1860. Integrating historical authenticity and modern scientific knowledge, the cases within deal with the often surprising connections between science done in the laboratory (physics, chemistry) and science based on observation (astronomy, cosmology). Between the Earth and the Heavens presupposes an interest in and a certain knowledge of the physical sciences, but it is written for non-specialists and includes only a limited number of equations which are all clearly explained in simple terms. For readers who wish to delve further, the book is fully documented and ends with a bibliography of cited quotations and other relevant sources.
