DESCRIPTION:We live in a visual age - an age of images - iconic\, instant a
 nd influential. In his remarkable new book\, John Barrow traces their histo
 ry and influence in order to tell the story of modern science.
\n
\nCertain
  key images have created our conception of the large\, the small\, and the 
 complex - both of inner and outer space. Some\, like Gresham Professor Robe
 rt Hooke's first microscope views of the world\, arose because of our new t
 echnical capabilities. Others\, like the first graph\, were breathtakingly 
 simple but perennially useful. The first stunning pictures of the Earth fro
 m space stimulated an environmental consciousness that has grown ever since
 . Many of these images have changed our view of ourselves and of the world 
 around us. In this lecture\, John Barrow takes us on a tour through the mos
 t influential images of science.
