The future remains uncertain, making it challenging to predict with certainty what the world will look like tomorrow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe subtitle of this volume, \"Dreaming Venice,\" reflects the altered reality of the city that has long captivated dreams and imagination. Once a symbol of resilience and wonder, Venice has, in recent times, become virtually inaccessible, a victim of its own allure and the forces of nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume shares many connections with its predecessors. Like Imagine Math 7, it begins with a tribute to the Italian artist Mimmo Paladino, who has created a new series of ten original and unique works of art exclusively for Imagine Math 8. The involvement of a diverse range of artists, art historians, designers, and musicians, including Linda D. Henderson, Marco Pierini, Claudio Ambrosini, and Davide Amodio, adds depth and richness to the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, this volume explores the intersection of comics and mathematics in a Disney-inspired key, offering a range of applications from Origami to mathematical models for addressing world hunger. Special attention is given to classical and modern architecture, with a focus on Tullia Iori's contributions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs with previous volumes in the series, the topics are approached with rigor, yet captivating and evocative. The authors provide detailed and comprehensive explanations, making the content accessible to readers of all levels. This book offers an all-encompassing exploration of the world of mathematics and culture, encompassing a wide range of subjects and perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1157g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030926922\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44585388605690,"sku":"9783030926922","price":38.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1695402067280_book.jpg?v=1695582432","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/imagine-math-8-dreaming-venice-9783030926922","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
