John Ruskin believed wisdom, art, and science all draw water from one well. In these lectures he explores the ties between wise science and wise art, praising modesty and contentment in the pursuit of knowledge. Elegant, demanding, and full of Ruskin's fierce ideals. Climb to the eagle's nest with one of the great Victorian minds.
