About this ebook
An inspired synthesis of human anatomy and the architecture of space, Behold lyrically explores how our passing bones are tuned to celestial bodies that keep time in eons. A bestselling author weaves science and spirit, geometry and verse, into an eye-opening origin story linking the cosmos and people. The son of a rocket scientist, he sets off on a vision quest, to chiseled arches in Rome, sky-high sandstone arcs in Utah, and the legendary island of Sámos, home to ancient Greek stargazers. Behold is an ode to order. A single family of elegant curves is behind not just heavenly bodies, but the very bones that make us human, the foot and jaw, the cradles of walking and talking. This illustrated poetry book is a hymn to that harmony.
