Story5
When the Nazis invaded Hungary in 1944, they sent virtually the entire Jewish population to Auschwitz. A Jew and a medical doctor, the prisoner Dr. Miklos Nyiszli was spared death for a grimmer fate: to perform "scientific research" on his fellow inmates under the supervision of the man who became known as the infamous "Angel of Death" - Dr. Josef Mengele. Nyiszli was named Mengele's personal research pathologist. In that capacity he also served as physician to the Sonderkommando, the Jewish prisoners who worked exclusively in the crematoriums and were routinely executed after four months.

Story2
The modern American economy was the creation of four men: Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould, and J. P. Morgan. They were the giants of the Gilded Age, a moment of riotous growth that established America as the richest, most inventive, and most productive country on the planet. Acclaimed author Charles R. Morris vividly brings these men and their times to life. The Tycoons tells the incredible story of how these four determined men wrenched the economy into the modern age, inventing a nation of full economic participation that could not have been imagined earlier.

From Leonardo Da Vinci to John Dee and Comenius, from George Eliot to Oliver Sacks and Susan Sontag, polymaths have moved the frontiers of knowledge in countless ways. But history can be unkind to scholars with such encyclopaedic interests. All too often these individuals are remembered for just one part of their valuable achievements. In this engaging, erudite account, renowned cultural historian Peter Burke argues for a more rounded view.

Una provetta di gas radioattivo lanciata in una fontana, un'intuizione improvvisa davanti a un semaforo londinese, la scoperta - quasi per caso - che l'atomo può spaccarsi. Sembrano episodi scollegati. E invece sono le prime scosse di un terremoto che cambierà il mondo: l'esplosione della bomba atomica. Tra le tessere del domino allineate in attesa di innescare la serie di eventi che condurranno a Hiroshima e Nagasaki, tre figure spiccano su tutte. Enrico Fermi, mente pragmatica e geniale, che porterà la scienza italiana nel cuore del Progetto Manhattan.
