Book Synopsis
Schrödinger''s Cat & The Golden Bough addresses the relationship between science and mythology from the starting points of Frazer''s The Golden Bough and Erwin Schrödinger''s famous cat. From the Greek origins of modern scientific thought, Bancroft traces the intertwining and separation of mythology, magic, and science through the ages. Drawing on psychology, mythology, literature, and history of science, the author, a physicist who works with electromagnetic Field Theory, presents a fascinating and provocative cross-disciplinary study.
