Measure for Measure
$3.48
In Measure for Measure, Thomas Levenson offers a compelling account of how scientific thinking development from the day 2,500 years ago when Pythagoras discovered the musical scale to the present day. The story unfolds through the tales of instruments scientific and musical: the organ, the microscope, the still, the scales, Stradivari’s miraculous violins and cellos, computers, and synthesizers. What emerges is a unique portrait of science itself as an instrument, our single most powerful way of understanding the world. Yet perhaps the most important invention of modern science has been the power to countenance its own limitations, to find the point beyond which science can explain no more, to rediscover that science, like music, is an art.

The Measure of Love
$3.98
Time is memory, says the contemplative young watchmaker Robert Garrett at the outset of this brilliantly realized novel, as he sets out to build a memorial to a love that time can no longer measure. A mathematical prodigy and already in his second year of postgraduate work at Cambridge before he’s twenty, Robert has long been grappling with inaccuracies in the measurements of time when, in an uncanny second, he finds himself captivated by a woman behind the cosmetics counter in a department store. Her name is Elizabeth, she’s thirty-six, her eyes are forget-me-not blue. Robert and Elizabeth marry, but despite the power of either their wills or their love, their happiness crumbles in the face of a disease that first destroys Elizabeth’s memory, then her personality, and finally her physical being. Her death launches the quest that this novel so elegantly recounts: Robert’s attempt to build in remembrance of her a mechanical watch in which natural imperfections of every kind will conspire to create a flawless instrument. Alternately exploring Robert’s horological experiment and his recollections of the one person in the world he loved beyond math and clocks, this luminous novel magically interweaves a history of timekeeping as fascinating as Dava Sobel’s Longitude with meditations on the nature of memory in a moving tale of a marriage cut tragically short.
