As both a chemist and an award-winning author, Chapela zeros in on the literary metaphors buried in the facts and figures of her scientific observations. Through questioning scientific conundrums that lie beyond the limits of human perception, she winds up putting herself under the microscope as well.   While considering the technical definition of glass as a liquid or a solid, Chapela stumbles upon a framework for understanding the in-between-ness of her own life. Turning her focus toward mirrors, she finds metaphors for our cultural obsessions with self-image in the physics and chemistry of reflection. And as she compiles a history of the scientific study of light, she comes to her final conclusion: that the purpose of description—be it scientific or literary—can never be to define reality, only to confirm our perception of it. Lyrical, introspective, and methodical, The Visible Unseen constructs a startling new perspective from which to examine ourselves and the ways we create meaning.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743614935313,"sku":"NGR9781632063526","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041265025297,"sku":"NIN9781632063526","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51683802022161,"sku":"GOR014359137","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51692875710737,"sku":"CIN1632063522VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52424993571089,"sku":"NLS9781632063526","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1632063522.jpg?v=1751442842"},{"product_id":"heredera-la-urano-book-andrea-chapela-9788496886100","title":"Heredera, La (Urano)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50461044015377,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50461044670737,"sku":"CIN8496886107G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8496886107.jpg?v=1750839164"},{"product_id":"todos-los-fines-del-mundo-all-the-ends-of-the-world-book-andrea-chapela-9786073857451","title":"Todos los fines del mundo \/ All the Ends of the World","description":"\u003cb\u003e«\u003ci\u003eTodos los fines del mundo\u003c\/i\u003e es una reflexión sobre el amor, la amistad, el deseo y los frágiles límites que creamos para separarlos.
