This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Querido Pierre, a quien nunca volveré a ver aquí, quiero hablarte en el silencio de este laboratorio, donde no pensaba que tendría que vivir sin ti. Y, antes, quiero recordar los últimos días que vivimos juntos». Con estas palabras abre Marie Curie la entrada de su diario (30 de abril de 1906) en la que recoge el terrible pesar por la muerte accidental de su marido Pierre, con quien había compartido pasión científica y descubrimientos cruciales acerca de la radiactividad, por los que fueron galardonados con el Premio Nobel de Física. El desgarro por la pérdida del ser más querido, pero también la evocación de los momentos de plenitud personal y científica, los rigores de la competencia académica o la forma de encajar esos elementos en su condición de mujer son algunas de las facetas que reflejan los extraordinarios escritos reunidos por vez primera en el presente volumen, entre los que descuellan la biografía que escribió sobre su marido y una extensa semblanza autobiográfica, así como las notas de laboratorio redactadas en los años del descubrimiento del radio y el polonio, además de secciones de su diario personal. Estas piezas componen una suerte de «Curie confidencial» que nos permite conocer de primera mano, desde la inmediatez y la intimidad personales, algunos episodios decisivos de la ciencia del siglo xx, y adentrarnos en los anhelos, conquistas y sentimientos de una mujer pionera en casi todos los frentes. Una vida y una vocación a través de su propia voz. (Selección y prólogo de Xavier Roqué.) Autor: Marie Curie (1867-1934), licenciada en Física y Matemáticas, se doctoró en 1903 con un estudio sobre las sustancias radiactivas que la hizo merecedora, junto a su marido Pierre Curie y Henri Becquerel, del Premio Nobel de Física de ese mismo año. Catedrática de Física en La Sorbona en 1906, recibió un segundo Premio Nobel en 1911, en esta ocasión de Química, por el descubrimiento del radio y el polonio. Junto a su eminente papel científico, su vida tuvo un importante sesgo público y se convirtió en uno de los rostros más célebres de la ciencia de principios del siglo xx. Colaboró activamente en mejorar la atención médica a los heridos en los campos de combate de la Primera Guerra Mundial, fundó en París y en su Varsovia natal instituciones científicas para el estudio de la radiactividad y recibió, sobre todo en sus últimos años, homenajes y reconocimientos de todo orden, incluido un viaje a los Estados Unidos en 1921. Sus restos reposan en el Panteón de París, con lo que se ha convertido en la primera mujer en recibir semejante honor. La introducción ha sido redactada por Xavier Roqué, profesor de Historia de la Ciencia de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona y especialista en la historia de la física del siglo xx, a la que ha dedicado trabajos y ediciones de textos sobre radiactividad, relatividad y mecánica cuántica.
Book Synopsis Natural and Moral History of the Indies by : José de Acosta
Download or read book Natural and Moral History of the Indies written by José de Acosta and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2002-10-15 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Natural and Moral History of the Indies, the classic work of New World history originally published by José de Acosta in 1590, is now available in the first new English translation to appear in several hundred years. A Spanish Jesuit, Acosta produced this account by drawing on his own observations as a missionary in Peru and Mexico, as well as from the writings of other missionaries, naturalists, and soldiers who explored the region during the sixteenth century. One of the first comprehensive investigations of the New World, Acosta’s study is strikingly broad in scope. He describes the region’s natural resources, flora and fauna, and terrain. He also writes in detail about the Amerindians and their religious and political practices. A significant contribution to Renaissance Europe's thinking about the New World, Acosta's Natural and Moral History of the Indies reveals an effort to incorporate new information into a Christian, Renaissance worldview. He attempted to confirm for his European readers that a "new" continent did indeed exist and that human beings could and did live in equatorial climates. A keen observer and prescient thinker, Acosta hypothesized that Latin America's indigenous peoples migrated to the region from Asia, an idea put forth more than a century before Europeans learned of the Bering Strait. Acosta's work established a hierarchical classification of Amerindian peoples and thus contributed to what today is understood as the colonial difference in Renaissance European thinking.
Book Synopsis Life Embodied by : Nicolás Fernández-Medina
Download or read book Life Embodied written by Nicolás Fernández-Medina and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of vital force – the immanent energy that promotes the processes of life in the body and in nature – has proved a source of endless fascination and controversy. Indeed, the question of what vitalizes the body has haunted humanity since antiquity, and became even more pressing during the Scientific Revolution and beyond. Examining the complexities and theories about vital force in Spanish modernity, Nicolás Fernández-Medina's Life Embodied offers a novel and provocative assessment of the question of bodily life in Spain. Starting with Juan de Cabriada's landmark Carta filosófica, médico-chymica of 1687 and ending with Ramón Gómez de la Serna's avant-gardism of the 1910s, Fernández-Medina incorporates discussions of anatomy, philosophy, science, critical theory, history of medicine, and literary studies to argue that concepts of vital force served as powerful vehicles to interrogate the possibilities and limits of corporeality. Paying close attention to how the body's capabilities were conceived and strategically woven into critiques of modernity, Fernández-Medina engages the work of Miguel Boix y Moliner, Martín Martínez, Diego de Torres Villarroel, Sebastián Guerrero Herreros, Ignacio María Ruiz de Luzuriaga, Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, Pedro Mata y Fontanet, Ángela Grassi, Julián Sanz del Río, Miguel de Unamuno, and Pío Baroja, among others. Drawing on extensive research and analysis, Life Embodied breaks new ground as the first book to address the question of vital force in Spanish modernity.

Book Synopsis Landscape and Identity in the Modern Basque Country, 1800 to 1936 by : Maitane Ostolaza
Download or read book Landscape and Identity in the Modern Basque Country, 1800 to 1936 written by Maitane Ostolaza and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landscape and Identity in the Modern Basque Country, 1800 to 1936 studies the relationship between landscape and modern identities in the Basque Country. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines cultural history and geography, it analyses the process of historical construction of the Basque landscape, highlighting its multiple political, social and cultural meanings. The book is divided into two parts: the first examines the discourses, images and representations of the Basque landscape; the second examines landscape practices through tourism, hiking and mountaineering. Focusing on the Basque case but establishing numerous connections with comparable phenomena in Western Europe, the book demonstrates that the landscape became a structuring element insofar as it helped shape individual identities while participating in the creation of social links. This book examines the processes of identity construction "from below" by means of new interpretative tools, such as the experience of landscape. This work, originally published in French, brings to an English-speaking audience a crucial issue in the modern history of the Basque Country, namely the cultural construction of a collective identity within the framework of a nation-state, such as Spain, confronted with multiple territorial identities. Approaching this question from the perspective of landscape provides new keys to understanding the processes of nation-building that occurred in Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Book Synopsis Monitoring and Modelling Dynamic Environments by : Alan P. Dykes
Download or read book Monitoring and Modelling Dynamic Environments written by Alan P. Dykes and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Times (Obituaries, 4 August 2008) reported that “John Thornes was one of the most eminent and influential physical geographers of his generation.” John’s keen interest in understanding landform processes and evolution was furthered through a variety of methods and informed across a range of disciplinary boundaries. In particular he pushed for better integration of monitoring, theoretical and simulation modelling, field and laboratory experimentation and remote sensing techniques. Although dominated by an interest in the Mediterranean region and problems of land degradation, his research activities ranged across a number of time scales and with other environmental perspectives. This collection of papers reflects this wide range of John’s interests through the recent work of scientists and professionals most strongly influenced by his rigorous training or leadership. The thematic focus of the book, which runs through all of the main contributions, is the integration of different methodologies and the application of this approach to improved understanding of natural systems and the development of appropriate strategies for environmental and resource management. Short overviews of John’s contributions to geomorphological research are also presented to provide context for the origins of this book.
Book Synopsis Celestina's Brood by : Roberto González Echevarría
Download or read book Celestina's Brood written by Roberto González Echevarría and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1499 and centered on the figure of a bawd and witch, Fernando de Rojas' dark and disturbing Celestina was destined to become the most suppressed classic in Spanish literary history. Routinely ignored in Spanish letters, the book nonetheless echoes through contemporary Spanish and Latin American literature. This is the phenomenon that Celestina's Brood explores. Roberto González Echevarría, one of the most eminent and influential critics of Hispanic literature writing today, uses Rojas' text as his starting point to offer an exploration of modernity in the Hispanic literary tradition, and of the Baroque as an expression of the modern. His analysis of Celestina reveals the relentless probing of the limits of language and morality that mark the work as the beginning of literary modernity in Spanish, and the start of a tradition distinguished by a penchant for the excesses of the Baroque. González Echevarría pursues this tradition and its meaning through the works of major figures such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, Alejo Carpentier, Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel García Márquez, Nicolás Guillén, and Severo Sarduy, as well as through the works of lesser-known authors. By revealing continuities of the Baroque, Celestina's Brood cuts across conventional distinctions between Spanish and Latin American literary traditions to show their profound and previously unimagined affinity.

Book Synopsis Natural Law by : Alejandro Néstor García Martínez
Download or read book Natural Law written by Alejandro Néstor García Martínez and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern moral and political philosophy is in debt with natural law theory, both in its ancient and mediaeval elaborations. While the very notion of a natural law has proved highly controversial among 20th Century scholars, the last decades have witnessed a renewed interest in it. Indeed, the threats and challenges as result of multiculturalism, plural societies and global changes have generated a renewed attention to natural law theory. Clearly, it offers solid basis as possible framework to a better understanding of human goods without contradictions and partial bias. The purpose of the present volume is to provide an overview of the history of this concept (Cicero, St. Paul, Aquinas, Melanchthon, Montaigne, Descartes, Leibniz, Hume, Burke, Kant, MacIntyre, etc.) as well as a deep understanding of ongoing research, both in Europe and in America. Furthermore, the specificity of these studies will be of particular value to philosophers, law-philosophers, historians, anthropologists, sociologists and theologians, and those concerned on such issues as the relation between law and moral norm, law and practical reason, and the presence of the idea of natural law in several prominent thinkers. It includes a selected bibliography on natural law. The book also provides an excellent introduction to several of the major topics in natural law theory making it useful both as a reference text and as a sourcebook for academics alike. "Natural law is a rich, complex, and highly disputed term. Since its first appearances in the history of Western civilization, it has been used both to point to God as the source of the moral order and to assert that there is an objective order of justice in nature that men and their laws ought to respect. In modern times, natural law theory gave birth to what we usually call “human rights.” Unlike the meaning of the term, the importance of an ongoing debate on natural law and on the theories related to it is undisputable. This is why I welcome today this new collection of essays edited by Alejandro Néstor García Martínez, Mario Šilar and José M. Torralba. Natural Law: Historical, Systematic and Juridical Approaches includes a wide variety of studies, covering key authors and issues in natural law theory. Younger students will appreciate the clarity of the chapters, and more trained readers the detailed and accurate bibliographical references that each of them offers. The editors’s choice to go from a historical approach to contemporary theories, and then to theoretical and more practical issues is also commendable. Students in philosophy and in legal theory will greatly benefit from this book." —Fulvio Di Blasi, author of God and the Natural Law: A Rereading of Thomas Aquinas
