William Blake was an engraver, painter, and visionary mystic as well as one of the most revolutionary of the Romantic poets. His writing attracted the astonished admiration of authors as diverse as Wordsworth, Ruskin, W.B. Yeats, and beat poet Allen Ginsberg. He is one of England's most original artists whose works aim to liberate imaginative energies and subvert 'the mind-forged manacles' of restriction. This volume contains many of his writings, including: 'Songs of Innocence', 'Songs of Experience', 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell', and a generous selection from the Prophetic Books including 'Milton' and 'Jerusalem'.

18 januari 1908 – 22 augustus 1974
Een Britse wetenschapper van Pools-Joodse afkomst, wiens werk wiskunde en biologie verbond en de reis van de mensheid door wetenschappelijke inspanningen verkende. Hij wordt het best herinnerd vanwege een baanbrekende televisieserie die de geschiedenis van de menselijke vooruitgang via wetenschap en innovatie onderzoekt. Door nauwgezet onderzoek en het vermogen om diverse gebieden te verbinden, belichtte hij de cruciale rol van verbeelding en symbolische taal in de vooruitgang van kennis. Zijn inzichten in de menselijke natuur en intellectuele producten resoneren nog steeds.

Jacob Bronowski was, with Kenneth Clarke, the greatest popularizer of serious ideas in Britain between the mid 1950s and the early 1970s. He isolates three creative ideas that have been central to science: the idea of order, the idea of causes and the idea of chance.
Science and Human Values was originally a lecture by Jacob Bronowski at MIT in 1953.
