The exhibition Crossing Over is accompanied by a book of the same title, featuring hundreds of images from Caltech art and science and 12 essays exploring this history. How, the authors ask, have science and engineering institutions like Caltech used scientific representation, art, and architecture to construct themselves and produce discovery and invention? The book is available in print at Sherman Fairchild Library, TechHub, the Caltech Store, and the Getty Museum Store, as well as other booksellers. It is available digitally from CaltechAUTHORS.
