520 1 $a"Universe of Stone shows that the Gothic cathedrals encode a far-reaching shift in the way medieval thinkers perceived their relationship with their world. For the first time, they began to believe in an orderly, rational world that could be investigated and understood. This change marked the beginning of Western science and also the start of a long and, indeed, unfinished struggle to reconcile faith and reason." "By embedding the cathedral in the culture of the twelfth century - its schools of philosophy and science, its trades and technologies, its politics and religious debates - Philip Ball makes sense of the visual and emotional power of Chartres."--BOOK JACKET.
