Synopsis:

"This is a book about science, technology, and love," writes Sherry Turkle. In it, we learn how a love for science can start with a love for an object - a microscope, a modem, a mud pie, a pair of dice, a fishing rod. Objects fire imagination and set young people on a path to a career in science. In this collection, distinguished scientists, engineers, and designers as well as twenty-five years of MIT students describe how objects encountered in childhood became part of the fabric of their scientific selves.

About the Author:

Barbara Neri is a multidisciplinary artist and scholar based in Michigan. She is currentlycreating a book of art/criticism on EBB's Sonnets from the Portuguese. Neriwill perform The Consolation of Poetry on 23 and 24 October 2003 in the SponbergTheatre, Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, Michigan.
