The Pearly Gates of Cyberspace: A History of Space from Dante to the Internet
A spirited look at the relationship between physics and religion―and the implications for both sexes.

From its inception, Margaret Wertheim shows, physics has been an overwhelmingly male-dominated activity; she argues that gender inequity in physics is a result of the religious origins of the enterprise.Country | USA |
