Margaret Wertheim praised William Everdell’s The First Moderns
(Review, 21 June 1997, p 47),
as a fascinating guide to the origins of modernism in science
and the arts. “If we now live in a digital age, Everdell’s book suggests that it
is because the modernists showed us the way out of continuity.” Now out in
paperback. Published by University of Chicago Press, £12.75/$16,
ISBN 0226224813.
