{"product_id":"a-primer-of-higher-space-the-fourth-dimension-9781596053618","title":"A Primer of Higher Space (the Fourth Dimension)","description":"Think of the fourth dimension, not as a new region in space... but as a principle of growth, of change... -from \"The Fourth Dimension as Time\" This 1913 treatise on the intersection of the mystical and the mathematical implied by Einstein's 1905 special theory of relativity is now considered a classic of philosophical physics. Claude Bragdon here first proposed the now mathematically commonplace concept of the \"hypercube,\" or four-dimensional cube (he incorporated 4-D designs into some of his architectural projects), and explores his radical and provocative ideas about the mathematical structure of the universe. Complete with a gallery of Bragdon's gorgeous line drawings illustrating higher space, this is a truly mind-expanding experience. Other works by Bragdon available from Cosimo Classics: More Lives Than One, The Beautiful Necessity, Architecture and Democracy, and Episodes from An Unwritten History. American architect, stage designer, and writer CLAUDE FAYETTE BRAGDON (1866-1946) helped found the Rochester Architectural Club, in the city where he made his greatest mark as a building designer with structures including Rochester Central Station, Rochester Institute of Technology, and the First Universalist Church; he also designed Peterborough Bridge in Ontario. In later life, Bragdon worked on Broadway as scenic designer for 1930s productions of Cyrano de Bergerac and Hamlet, among others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claude Fayette Bragdon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics Science\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596053618","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45486765080713,"sku":"9781596053618","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_560a58b3-8cfa-478f-a6f8-8e1cbd9e86f8.jpg?v=1775543346","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/a-primer-of-higher-space-the-fourth-dimension-9781596053618","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
