Jonathan Miller

    Jonathan Miller bol britský divadelný a operný režisér, autor a verejný intelektuál, ktorého práca presahovala hranice umenia a vedy. Pôvodne lekár, preslávil sa v 60. rokoch ako spolutvorca a účinkujúci satirickej revue. Neskôr sa stal jedným z popredných svetových operných režisérov, známym svojimi inovatívnymi a často provokatívnymi inscenáciami, ktoré prinášali nové pohľady na klasické diela. Jeho rozsiahla kariéra zahŕňala aj písanie a verejné vystupovanie, kde uplatňoval svoj charakteristický intelektuálny a humorný prístup.

      Thoughts about Images

      How do you paint a picture of infinity? How do you dance about death? How do you draw a diagram explaining entropy? Images and Understanding explores the human problem of moving facts and ideas from one mind to another - the problems of how we see and communicate using images expressed in pictures, diagrams, words, music and dance. For artists as well as scientists discussion of this topic is timely; electronic and computing technology is expanding the means of generating and communicating images, while physiology and psychology are revealing the neural mechanisms of coding, perceiving and understanding them. The book is divided into six sections, each with an explanatory introduction followed by comprehensively illustrated contributions from internationally distinguished figures from fields as diverse as art history, choreography, psychology, computer science, and philosophy. Images and Understanding is unique in viewing the problems of imagery through the eyes of both science and art; it gives new insight into images and new ideas about understanding.

    • The ghost town of Shakespeare, NM sits at the end of America and perhaps the edge of the earth. Was it also visited by aliens in 1947, the same year as the Roswell incident? Denny Song claims that he shot at deputies near Shakespeare because the "aliens made him do it." When his sister, budding attorney Denise Song, comes to town, she raises the insanity defense to save her brother. But suppose he's telling the truth? Denise has secrets of her own and soon finds herself in a courtroom drama that could unlock a vast conspiracy involving law enforcement, the military and perhaps parties unknown. And can she trust her new boyfriend, the mysterious stranger who seems to have the files that could blow this case wide open?

      My book is about my interpretation of good over evil, how God takes a simple young man to a man with true values, who became a warrior of God and charity and humbleness to the end, and how God shows how wisdom is the only way to live, the ugliness of violence and crimes to the man that finds unconditional love in a woman that needs her knight and shining armor.

      In these essays, Jonathan Miller, Oliver Sacks and Daniel Kevles show how and why some discoveries and insights in science emerge with great promise, only to be discarded or forgotten, then re-emerge years later as important. Richard Lewontin and Stephen Jay Gould suggest deep and largely unacknowledged distortions in the way scientists and popularizers alike conceive the sturcture of the world and its natural history. Illustrations.
