Spheres of Interest
Circles labelled with fields of knowledge overlap around a crowded central region. Mathematics remains relatively separate at the lower left, while classics, history, sculpture, archaeology and painting intersect in other combinations. The caption calls the diagram Spheres of Interest. It appears in J. S. M. Ward’s Gone West, using a simple graphic structure to relate kinds of attention within the book’s account of the afterlife.
