Model of an explosion

Part of a toysoldier set, German 1930-9. From this interesting and readable book:
Science and the contemporary arts - a tempting (to me, anyway!) list of chapters:
1. Bizarre consequences: introduction and background
2. The scientist's mind@ the artist's temperament
3. Many complex collisions: new directions for art in science
4. Between explanation and inspiration: images in science
5. Us and them, this and that, here and there, now and then: collecting, classifying, creating
6. Creatvity and the making of contemporary art
7. Uncertain entanglements
8. Inside - outside - permutation: science and the body in contemporary art
9. Fission and fusion: art, science and society
