Matthew Stanley is associate professor at New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study. He is the author of Practical Mystic: Religion, Science, and A. S. Eddington and lives in New York City.
An innovative perspective on late nineteenth-century British science. Stanley provides a nuanced, sensitive, and firmly grounded understanding of both Huxley and Maxwell, and one that not only undermines the conflict thesis but also provides the reader with a deeper understanding of the interrelations between science and religion. An impressive achievement! (Geoffrey Cantor, University of Leeds)
