About this product
Product Information
A reconception of the sublime to include experiences of disaster, war, outer space, virtual reality, and the Anthropocene. We experience the sublime-overwhelming amazement and exhilaration-in at least seven different forms. Gazing from the top of a mountain at a majestic vista is not the same thing as looking at a city from the observation deck of a skyscraper; looking at images constructed from Hubble Space Telescope data is not the same as living through a powerful earthquake. The varieties of sublime experience have increased during the last two centuries, and we need an expanded terminology to distinguish between them. In this book, David Nye delineates seven forms of the sublime- natural, technological, disastrous, martial, intangible, digital, and environmental, which express seven different relationships to space, time, and identity. These forms of the sublime can be experienced at historic sites, ruins, cities, national parks, or on the computer screen. We find them in beautiful landscapes and gigantic dams, in battle and on battlefields, in images of black holes and microscopic particles. The older forms are tangible, when we are physically present and our senses are fully engaged; increasingly, others are intangible, mediated through technology. Nye examines each of the seven sublimes, framed by philosophy but focused on historical examples.

Just as described. Very happy to find the special edition of this book at a great price. It came mostly sealed, except where it got marked. There’s a small red dot on the bottom; not noticeable when I open the book. All the extras are there. Very happy with my purchase. Great seller!

I’ve purchased from the seller many times because they usually have fair pricing. Unfortunately they use poor packaging materials and books often get damaged and shipping. Three separate times, I have had hardcover books arrived damaged. Seller has been accommodating when this happens and has sent replacement, but this time, even the replacement book arrived with significant damage. Avoiding the seller, just not worth the hassle.
