by François Penz (Editor), Gregory Radick (Editor), Robert Howell (Editor)

This collection of essays explores different perceptions of space, taking the reader on a journey from the inner space of the mind to the vacuum beyond Earth. Eight leading researchers span a broad range of fields, from the arts and humanities to the natural sciences.
