Charles Howard Hinton and H. John Falk
239 pages~4 hr 46 min read48 chaptersFree this month
Can the mind be trained to picture a fourth dimension? Charles Howard Hinton believed so, and built exercises to stretch human imagination past three. His book moves from the nature of knowledge to the study of shape and arrangement, coaxing readers toward space they cannot see. A daring adventure in pure thought. Try to think in a direction that isn't there.
Includes read-aloud narration with live word highlighting.
