Showing results for "The Victors" in Science & Engineering

From the acclaimed author of The Nobel Prize comes this fascinating portrait of four of the greatest minds in the history of science and the impossible turning point they faced. As World War II wound down, and it became increasingly clear that the Allies would emerge victorious, Albert Einstein invited three close friends - all titans of contemporary science and philosophy - to his home at 112 Mercer Street in Princeton, New Jersey, to discuss what they loved best: science and philosophy.

In an exposition reminiscent of crossover works such as Gödel, Escher, Bach and Fermat's Last Theorem, Andrew Smart weaves together Mangarevan binary numbers, the discovery of LSD, Leibniz, computer programming, and much more to connect the vast but largely forgotten world of psychedelic research with the resurgent field of AI and the attempt to build conscious robots.

As Gen X and Baby Boomers, we grew up in a world of rotary phones, film cameras, and science fiction that stayed safely on the page. Over the years, we’ve watched ideas once considered impossible quietly become part of everyday life. That fascinates us.In the 1950s, we were told we’d have flying cars by 2020. In the 1970s, we were told computers would take over the world. In the 1990s, we were told the internet would change our lives. Now, on the edge of artificial intelligence, we’re told robots will be driving our cars any day now. Some of those predictions came true. Some were mostly ...

From a young age, Victor Steffensen has had a passion for traditional cultural and ecological knowledge. This was further developed after meeting two Elders, who were to become his mentors and teach him the importance of cultural burning. Developed over many generations, this knowledge shows clearly that Australia actually needs fire. Steffensen's story is unassuming and honest, while demonstrating the incredibly sophisticated and complex cultural knowledge that has been passed down to him, which he wants to share with others.

The coal-mining town of Fushun in China’s Northeast is home to a monstrous open pit. First excavated in the early twentieth century, this pit grew like a widening maw over the ensuing decades, as various Chinese and Japanese states endeavored to unearth Fushun’s purportedly “inexhaustible” carbon resources. Today, the depleted mine that remains is a wondrous and terrifying monument to fantasies of a fossil-fueled future and the technologies mobilized in attempts to turn those developmentalist dreams into reality.

La homeopatía es la reina de las pseudociencias: magia en estado puro. Creer en ella es como creer que el Sol gira alrededor de la Tierra. Que este timo se venda en las farmacias y sea administrada por médicos colegiados en pleno siglo XXI es realmente un escándalo. Más aún, según el autor...

Rosemary and Peter Grant and those assisting them have spend 20 years on Daphne Major, an island in the Galapagos, studying natural selection. They recognize each individual bird on the island, when there are 400 at the time of the author's visit or when there are over a thousand. They have observed about 20 generations of finches - continuously.Jonathan Weiner follows these scientists as they watch Darwin's finches and come up with a new understanding of life itself.

Among all life on Earth, we alone experience rich moral emotions, follow complex rules governing how we treat one another, and engage in moral dialogue. But how did human morality evolve? And can humans become morally evolved? In A Better Ape, Victor Kumar and Richmond Campbell draw on the latest research in the biological and social sciences to explain the key role that morality has played in human evolution.

Da jorden blev dannet for 4,6 milliarder år siden, var den så varm, at intet levende kunne bo her. Det var bare en gold og stenet kugle. Men kometer af is blev ved med at bombardere planeten, så den til sidst blev afkølet og beboelig. Det skabte fundamentet for det liv, vi kender her på kloden. Så når vi tænder for vores vandhane eller tager en isterning ud af fryseren, så er det alt sammen, fordi en serie af kometer bestående primært af is bragte vand og materialer ned til jorden fra rummets fjerneste afkroge. Vi er ikke bare stjernestøv. Vi er smeltede iskrystaller.

Pour la première fois, l'édition phonographique propose une histoire vivante des expéditions polaires françaises. Dès le début des années 50, des enseignants ont voulu utiliser le sonore comme moyen pédagogique, en faisant réaliser les entretiens par les enfants eux-mêmes dont le besoin de comprendre en fait souvent de meilleurs interviewers, car ils sont capables d'aller du particulier au fondamental. Rétrospectivement, ce travail effectué sous la direction de Pierre Guérin (dans la lignée de Célestin Freinet) devient pour de nombreux sujets un travail historiographique et sociologique extrêmement passionnant.

"L'expression des émotions" publié en 1872, est un livre sur la façon dont les animaux et les humains expriment et signalent aux autres leurs émotions. Dans ce document, Darwin s’interroge sur les origines de la gestuelle et des expressions faciales chez l'homme et les animaux en utilisant sa théorie de l'évolution des espèces par la sélection naturelle. Darwin souligne la nature universelle des expressions faciales.

In 1610, Galileo published the Siderius nuncius, or Starry Messenger, a "hurried little masterpiece" in John Heilbron's words. Presenting to the world his remarkable observations using the recently invented telescope, Galileo dramatically challenged our idea of the perfection of the heavens and the centrality of the Earth in the universe. Indeed, the appearance of the little book is regarded as one of the great moments in the history of science.
