Meeting the Universe Halfway is an ambitious book with far-reaching implications for numerous fields in the natural sciences social sciences & humanities In this volume Karen Barad theoretical physicist & feminist theorist elaborates her theory of agential realism Offering an account of the world as a whole rather than as composed of separate natural & social realms agential realism is at once a new epistemology ontology & ethics The starting point for Barad's analysis is the philosophical framework of quantum physicist Niels Bohr Barad extends & partially revises Bohr's philosophical views in light of current scholarship in physics science studies & the philosophy of science as well as feminist poststructuralist & other critical social theories In the process she significantly reworks understandings of space time matter causality agency subjectivity & objectivity In an agential realist account the world is made from entanglements of social & natural agencies where the distinction between the two emerges out of specific intra-actions Intra-activity is an inexhaustible dynamism that configures & reconfigures relations of space-time-matter In explaining intra-activity Barad reveals questions about how nature & culture interact & change over time to be fundamentally misguided & she reframes understanding of the nature of scientific & political practices & their interrelationship Thus she pays particular attention to the responsible practice of science & she emphasizes changes in the understanding of political practices critically reworking Judith Butler's influential theory of performativity Finally Barad uses agential realism to produce a new interpretation of quantum physics demonstrating that agential realism is more than a means of reflecting on science; it can be used to actually do science ...

WINNER OF THE WOLFSON HISTORY PRIZE & THE DUFF COOPER PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION& An endlessly fascinating & enjoyable book& Neil Mac Gregor& Full of delights& Tom Stoppard An extraordinary exploration of the medieval world
- the most beguiling history book of the year This is a book about why medieval manuscripts matter Coming face to face with an important illuminated manuscript in the original is like meeting a very famous person We may all pretend that a well-known celebrity is no different from anyone else & yet there is an undeniable thrill in actually meeting & talking to a person of world stature The idea for the book which is entirely new is to invite the reader into intimate conversations with twelve of the most famous manuscripts in existence & to explore with the author what they tell us about nearly a thousand years of medieval history
- & sometimes about the modern world too Christopher de Hamel introduces us to kings queens saints scribes artists librarians thieves dealers collectors & the international community of manuscript scholars showing us how he & his fellows piece together evidence to reach unexpected conclusions He traces the elaborate journeys which these exceptionally precious artefacts have made through time & space shows us how they have been copied who has owned them or lusted after them (and how we can tell) how they have been embroiled in politics & scholarly disputes how they have been regarded as objects of supreme beauty & luxury & as symbols of national identity The book touches on religion art literature music science & the history of taste Part travel book part detective story part conversation with the reader Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts conveys the fascination & excitement of encountering some of the greatest works of art in our culture which in the originals are to most people completely inaccessible At the end we have a slightly different perspective on history & how we come by knowledge It is a most unusual book
