Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What does it mean to rise?Levitation in a Nutshell: Science, Tradition, and Wonder is a short, clear-eyed companion to one of the oldest dreams in human imagination. From a live frog suspended in a magnetic field to a Franciscan friar reported to have hovered before the Pope, the book follo…ws the wish to be free of gravity through the laboratories of modern physics and the contemplative traditions of India, Tibet, China, and the Christian West.Written for curious readers who want substance without jargon, Levitation in a Nutshell: Science, Tradition, and Wonder brings together strands that are usually kept apart. The maglev train hovers above its track on principles a child can grasp; the yogic texts describe an inner discipline of which lightness of body is said to be one possible sign. Each tradition has its own integrity.

The result is a small book that takes seriously what most modern writing dismisses or inflates.If you have ever wondered what really hangs between the laboratory and the monastery, the seance room and the stage, this is the place to begin.

About the Author Ed William Hale is a writer and independent researcher with a background in the history of science and contemplative traditions. For many years he has been drawn to subjects that sit on the boundary between physical investigation and inner experience, with a particular interest in how questions framed by one approach can be illuminated by the other without being collapsed into it. His writing focuses on clarity and accessibility, presenting complex and sometimes contested material in language that invites the curious reader without oversimplifying the underlying ideas. He is most interested in topics that have been studied seriously by both scientists and practitioners of older traditions, and in the patient work of holding both perspectives in mind without forcing them into agreement.
