“Breathtaking images, accompanied by Bell’s scientific notes and comments on artistic techniques, make this an attractive choice for art, photography, and science collections.” —Library Journal“The Art of the Cosmos is … a celebration of the beauty of the cosmos, and a reminder that art and science are not distinct but, rather, intertwined.”  —The Space Review
