Infinite Powers recounts how calculus tantalized and thrilled its inventors, starting with its first glimmers in ancient Greece and bringing us right up to the discovery of gravitational waves. Strogatz reveals how this form of math rose to the challenges of each age: how to determine the area of a circle with only sand and a stick; how to explain why Mars goes "backwards" sometimes; how to turn the tide in the fight against AIDS.

Marie Aymard was an illiterate widow who lived in the provincial town of Angoulême in southwestern France, a place where seemingly nothing ever happened. Yet, in 1764, she made her fleeting mark on the historical record through two documents: a power of attorney in connection with the property of her late husband, a carpenter on the island of Grenada, and a prenuptial contract for her daughter, signed by 83 people in Angoulême. Who was Marie Aymard? Who were all these people? And why were they together on a dark afternoon in December 1764?

Che uomini erano quelli. Riuscirono a salvare l’Europa con la sola forza della fede. Con l’efficacia di una formula semplicissima, ora et labora. Lo fecero nel momento peggiore, negli anni di violenza e anarchia che seguirono la caduta dell’Impero romano, quando le invasioni erano una cosa seria, non una migrazione di diseredati. Ondate violente, spietate, pagane. Unni, Vandali, Visigoti, Longobardi, Slavi e i ferocissimi Ungari. Li cristianizzarono e li resero europei con la sola forza dell’esempio. Salvarono una cultura millenaria, rimisero in ordine un territorio devastato e in preda all’abbandono.

From the international bestselling author and notable journalist Aldo Cazzullo comes a brilliantly researched and extremely accessible journey through the history and legacy of the Roman Empire. “The only way to narrate over a thousand years of history is to understand what it has left us. To...

Podcast narrativo acerca del encuentro con las raíces a través del archivo familiar, en el contexto de la búsqueda de la paternidad. Se trata de una reflexión acerca de la memoria familiar como medio de identidad. Una reflexión de la importancia de comprender el origen antes de dar origen. A partir de mi mudanza a un barrio de la ciudad de México cerca de donde vivió y murió mi bisabuelo comienzo una búsqueda casi obsesiva por averiguar quién fue.

14 luglio 1961, A Courmayeur scatta l'allarme. Sul Pilone Centrale del Frêney, la parete rocciosa più alta del Monte Bianco, sette scalatori guidati da Walter Bonatti e Pierre Mazeaud si trovano intrappolati nella bufera. Neve, temporali a catena, temperature polari, una perturbazione che sembra non finire più. Per giorni le squadre di soccorso tentano di raggiungere i dispersi mentre la radio e la televisione rivelano un dramma in crescendo che si consuma dal vivo, ma che rimane lontano, invisibile dentro le nubi.
