This week's delivery of new books features so many enchanting volumes, full of lovely photographs with text that elucidates and expands our ways of knowing.
Feeling Beauty: the neuroscience of aesthetic experience, sets the theme. It's the only book we have classified in NX (you'll find nearly all of the NX books in the art library). It's rather exotic for the science library, with illustrations of both art and music in the center section - how cool is that?
Over the Rivers and Over the Mountains offer gorgeous representations of landscapes with the turn of every page. The beauty of our world is both stark and sensuous in these volumes; full of lush forested floodplains, jagged peaks, sinuous streams, and steep cliffs.
Rare: portraits of America's endangered species will inspire you to learn more about these finely photographed plants and animals. From the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly to the largest mammal, it is a book of exquisite beauty and urgency, to live our lives in such a manner that all fellow creatures are also able to thrive.
Many other new books await your viewing pleasure! Visit the new book corner for some visual delights. These pictures really are worth thousands of words. go to: New book list.
