Synopsis

Shadows Moved explores the surprising influence of shadows on history, science, and art. It examines how something as simple as a shadow has shaped our understanding of time, influenced artistic expression, and guided storytelling across cultures. The book argues that shadows, often overlooked, have played a crucial role in shaping our perception of the world.

 
The book delves into the history of sundials, demonstrating how these ancient timekeeping devices reflected the astronomical knowledge of their eras. It also analyzes shadow play, revealing its diverse expressions across cultures as entertainment, education, and social commentary. Furthermore, the book investigates the cognitive psychology behind shadow perception, explaining how our brains interpret shadows to construct a three-dimensional world.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces the scientific principles of shadow formation and their historical context. It then details the evolution of sundials and other shadow-based timekeeping methods. Finally, it explores shadow play and its global variations.

 
By blending science, history, and art, Shadows Moved offers a unique perspective on the enduring relevance of shadows.

Finding Genius: Stories Told by...

Richard Jacobs

A lifelong fascination with all things bones. A four-decades-long hunt for the specimens of 2,500+ species past and present. An unwavering desire to preserve, appreciate, and display this rich history of life on Earth. 
These things led to the establishment of the largest privately-held collection of osteological pieces in the world; a place where science displays are more like works of art ... capturing the attention of every eye that lands upon them, and telling a profound story without uttering a single word. 
I'm Richard Jacobs. A casual trip with my family to a bone museum sparked a number of observations that I found too intriguing not to share. 
Enjoy. And please, never stop being curious, and never stop asking questions – the good ones can lead to the greatest discoveries of mankind.
