Volume 5 is a coming together of cultures and disciplines
in the authors thematic effort here to show how man has, over the rolling centuries,
viewed himself vis-a-vis nature and the universe. Representing an international
community of scientists, philosophers, anthropologists, ecologists and
artistis, the
authors share the myths and cosmologies of their respective societies and cultures
producing, in the process, a highly meaningful dialogue between those who live with the
myths of primordial elements and those who have modified the tools of science to
investigate the nature of matter.
