迈克尔·本森以一种新的方式讲述了发现和描述宇宙的激动人心的故事。他选择了巧妙而深刻的插图和地图，其中许多隐藏在世界上伟大的科学图书馆中，如今几乎无人知晓，他记录了1000多年来人类对空间本身大小和形状不断扩大的理解。他展示了望远镜的发明如何激发人们对难以想象的遥远地方的想象，并解释了为什么今天我们转向超级计算机模拟来揭示关于时空的更深层次的真相。
Cosmigraphics探索了我们作为一个物种最伟大的想象力成就的视觉方面：揭开了一个巨大宇宙的面纱，这个宇宙在很大程度上是我们感官所看不见的。这将是一个启示，以太空冲击地球人，艺术爱好者和读者感兴趣的历史科学，可视化的信息，平面设计和地图。
Cosmigraphics: Picturing Space Through Time
Michael Benson tells the thrilling story of the discovery and description of the universe in a new way. Selecting artful and profound illustrations and maps, many hidden away in the world’s great science libraries and virtually unknown today, he chronicles more than 1,000 years of humanity’s ever-expanding understanding of the size and shape of space itself. He shows how the invention of the telescope inspired visions of unimaginably distant places and explains why today we turn to supercomputer simulations to reveal deeper truths about space-time.
Cosmigraphics explores the visual side of our greatest imaginative achievement as a species: the unveiling of a vast universe that is largely invisible to our senses. It will be a revelation to space-struck Earthlings, art lovers, and readers interested in the history of science, the visualization of information, graphic design, and mapping.
