How do the clues unveiled in symbology professor Robert Langdon's daring quest from Florence to Venice and Istanbul overlap with history? What codes and symbols did Dante employ in the Divine Comedy and which secret religious, philosophical, and scientific themes are hidden within his work? What lies behind Botticelli's \"La Mappa dell'Inferno\"? And what are the cult scientists known as transhumanists really up to? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInferno Decoded is a book that ranges as widely as Dan Brown's novel, from the terrors of the Black Death to the scientific debates around pop-ulation growth and prolonging of life-spans, and from the economic, political, and religious tumult in Florence at the dawn of the Renais-sance to real-life locations in Florence, Venice, and Istanbul today.
