Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book is the first comprehensive attempt to explain Ibn 'Arabî's distinctive view of time and its role in the process of creating the cosmos and its relation with the Creator. By comparing this original view with modern theories of physics and cosmology, Mohamed Haj Yousef constructs a new cosmological model that may deepen and extend our understanding of the world, while potentially solving some of the drawbacks in the current models such as the historical Zeno's paradoxes of motion and the recent Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox (EPR) that underlines the discrepancies between Quantum M |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
A collection of rhyming couplets, these wry and witty poems ponder the foibles and vanities of mortals. Cartoon pen-and-ink drawings by well-known illustrator Barrington Barber accompany the limerick-like lyrics, which capture the ridiculous such as absurdly trimmed mustaches and outrageous hairstyles with humorous rhymes and amusing titles. Perfect for any lover of light verse, these observations are both keen and catchy. |
