Through colorful examples, the book reveals circuitous ways that social, cultural and natural systems connect, enabling real kinds of magic to operate. Among the many case studies are accounts of how an eighteenth-century actor gave his audience goosebumps; how painters, poets, and pool sharks use nonlinearity in working their magics; how the first vertebrates gained consciousness; how plants fine-tuned human color vision; and the necessarily magical element of activism that builds on the conviction that "another future is possible" while working to push self-fulfilling prophecy into political action. 410 0$aExperimental practices (Brill Rodopi (Firm)) ;$vVolume 2. 606 $aMagic$xSocial aspects 606 $aScience and magic 606 $aMagic$xReligious aspects 606 $aReligion and science 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMagic$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aScience and magic. 615 0$aMagic$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aReligion and science. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 676 $a201.613343 700 $aLivingston$b Ira$f1956-$01606878 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822190403321 996 $aMagic, science, religion$94127660 997 $aUNINA
