Book excerpt: "Showcasing jewels and bringing them to life, these 40 stories are an intriguing blend of art, science, history and psychology, tracing the lives of jewels and all those connected to them. The authors have brought their considerable knowledge and experience of handling jewellery and gemstones to compiling a lavishly illustrated book of stories in which the jewels are not always the most expensive or 'important' to have passed through the saleroom, but rather are those that have an intriguing history or provenance attached to them.Spanning diverse cultures and countries, different time periods and design eras, the stories allow us into the private lives of those who have loved and lost jewellery, who have owned and treasured, commissioned, designed, created, given and received it, and who have marked the most memorable moments of their lives with it." --

Download or read book Gems of Geometry written by John Barnes and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a series of lectures for adult students, this lively and entertaining book proves that, far from being a dusty, dull subject, geometry is in fact full of beauty and fascination. The author's infectious enthusiasm is put to use in explaining many of the key concepts in the field, starting with the Golden Number and taking the reader on a geometrical journey via Shapes and Solids, through the Fourth Dimension, finishing up with Einstein's Theories of Relativity. Equally suitable as a gift for a youngster or as a nostalgic journey back into the world of mathematics for older readers, John Barnes' book is the perfect antidote for anyone whose maths lessons at school are a source of painful memories. Where once geometry was a source of confusion and frustration, Barnes brings enlightenment and entertainment. In this second edition, stimulated by recent lectures at Oxford, further material and extra illustrations have been added on many topics including Coloured Cubes, Chaos and Crystals.

Book excerpt: Primera traducción al inglés del libro Arthashastra, antiguo tratado indio sobre arte de gobernar, política económica y estrategia militar, escrito en sánscrito. Probablemente sea el trabajo de varios autores a lo largo de los siglos, Kautilya, también identificado como Vishnugupta y Chanakya, se acredita tradicionalmente como el autor del texto. Este último era un erudito en Takshashila, el maestro y guardián del emperador Chandragupta Maurya. Sin embargo, los estudiosos han cuestionado esta identificación. Compuesto, ampliado y redactado entre el siglo II a. C. y el siglo III d. C., el Arthashastra fue influyente hasta el siglo XII, cuando desapareció. Fue redescubierto en 1904 por R. Shamasastry, quien lo publicó en 1909.
