The universe in verse : 15 portals to wonder through science & poetry / Maria Popova ; illustrations by Ofra Amit.

Popova, Maria, (author.). ʻAmit, ʻOfrah, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Poetry and science, as Popova writes in her introduction, "are instruments for knowing the world more intimately and loving it more deeply." In 15 short essays on subjects ranging from the mystery of dark matter and the infinity of pi to the resilience of trees and the intelligence of octopuses, Popova tells the stories of scientific searching and discovery. Each essay is paired with a poem reflecting its subject by poets ranging from Emily Dickinson, W. H. Auden, and Edna St. Vincent Millay to Maya Angelou, Diane Ackerman, and Tracy K. Smith"-- Provided by publisher.
