Eloquent, urgent, and inspiring, "The Constant Fire" tackles the acrimonious debate between science and religion, taking us beyond its stagnant parameters into the wider domain of human spiritual experience. From a Neolithic archaeological site in Ireland to modern theories of star formation, Adam Frank traverses a wide terrain, broadening our sights and allowing us to imagine an alternative perspective.Drawing from his experience as a practicing astrophysicist and from the writings of the great scholars of religion, philosophy, and mythology, Frank locates the connective tissue linking science and religion - their commonality as sacred pursuits - and finds their shared aspiration in pursuit of 'the True and the Real'. Taking us from the burning of Giordano Bruno in 1600 to Einstein and on to today's pressing issues of global warming and resource depletion, "The Constant Fire" shows us how to move beyond this stale debate into a more profound experience of the world as sacred - a world that embraces science without renouncing human spirituality.

Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. This hardcover First Edition/1st Printing is in Very Good to VG+ condition with a nice, crisp dust jacket in VG+ condition. The red papered boards are quarter-bound in black cloth, elegantly contrasted by red metallic spine print. The covers are in great shape, and the binding is square and tight. There is minor abrasion to the front flyleaf, and an inscription to the previous owner on the reverse of the front flyleaf; otherwise, the book is in Like New condition. The interior pages are clean and unmarked. The Constant Fire tackles the acrimonious debate between science and religion, taking us beyond its stagnant parameters into the wider domain of human spiritual experience. Eloquent, urgent, and inspiring, Adam Frank traverses a wide terrain, broadening our sights and allowing us to imagine an alternative perspective. Drawing from his experience as a practicing astrophysicist and from the writings of the great scholars of religion, philosophy, and mythology, Frank locates the connective tissue linking science and religion—their commonality as sacred pursuits—and finds their shared aspiration in pursuit of "the True and the Real." From a Neolithic archaeological site in Ireland to modern theories of star formation, he takes us on a journey through time and space, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human spirituality and scientific inquiry. From the burning of Giordano Bruno in 1600 to Einstein and on to today's pressing issues of global warming and resource depletion, The Constant Fire shows us how to move beyond this stale debate into a more profound experience of the world as sacred—a world that embraces science without renouncing human spirituality.
