Dyson, Freeman : Infinite In All Directions: The Gifford Lectures

Harper & Row Publishers, New York City, NY, 1985

ISBN 0060390816

First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 325 pages. Retrospective collection of essays on subject. The definitive transcript of Freeman Dyson's landmark Gifford Lectures. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the Softcover and Reissued Editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Freeman Dyson's "Infinite In All Directions". The seminal basis of all his subsequent thinking and writing. Hailed upon publication as a great book that will stand alongside William James' "Varieties of Religious Experience" and Alfred North Whitehead's "Process And Reality", which, as it happens, were both also originally delivered as Gifford Lectures. "With a rare breadth of literary and historical knowledge, and with a wonderful lucidity of style, Dyson converts science from the intellectual property of specialists into a meaningful concern for everyone with a stake in our cultural future" (Bryce Christensen). An absolute "must-have" title for Freeman Dyson collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the greatest scientist/thinkers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER FREEMAN DYSON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0060390816.
