¿Cómo ha sido la evolución del concepto de tiempo a lo largo de nuestra historia? ¿Cómo diferentes disciplinas como la astronomía, la física, las matemáticas, la biología o el arte han abordado su estudio? ¿Qué formas de medirlo hemos usado desde la Antigüedad? ¿Cómo ha sido el camino hacia la precisión de medida actual desde los primeros calendarios? ¿Cómo afecta el paso del tiempo a nuestra biología y cómo nuestro cuerpo es capaz de medirlo?

Nostradamus. Entre la verdad, el fanatismo y la mentira nos da un recorrido por la vida de este enigmático visionario. Boticario y astrólogo, a quien se le atribuye una serie de predicciones sobre hechos históricos como la Revolución francesa, las bombas atómicas, el asesinato de Kennedy y el ataque a las Torres Gemelas, convirtiéndolo en una referencia inmediata cada que se asoma una catástrofe o tragedia en nuestros tiempos.

I hate every wave of the ocean', the seasick Charles Darwin wrote to his family during his five-year voyage on the H.M.S. Beagle. It was this world-wide journey, however, that launched the scientists career.

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has attracted one of the world’s largest online followings with his fascinating, widely accessible insights into science and our universe. Now, Tyson invites us to go behind the scenes of his public fame by unveiling his candid correspondence with people across the globe who have sought him out in search of answers. In this hand-picked collection of 100 letters, Tyson draws upon cosmic perspectives to address a vast array of questions about science, faith, philosophy, life, and of course, Pluto.

By identifying the structure of DNA, the molecule of life, Francis Crick and James Watson revolutionized biochemistry and won themselves a Nobel Prize. At the time, Watson was only 24, a young scientist hungry to make his mark. His uncompromisingly honest account of the heady days of their thrilling sprint against other world-class researchers to solve one of science's greatest mysteries gives a dazzlingly clear picture of a world of brilliant scientists with great gifts, very human ambitions, and bitter rivalries.

L'autobiografia, raccontata in prima persona, di una delle più importanti e preziose personalità scientifiche dello scorso secolo. Una vita che si muove tra le minacce della storia - le due guerre mondiali e le leggi razziali - i limiti culturali di una società che discrimina ancora fortemente la donna e un modo di concepire la scienza come ricerca continua, processo evolutivo di idee e approcci, scoperta.

At the dawn of the 20th century, humanity was facing global disaster. Mass starvation, long predicted for the fast-growing population, was about to become a reality. A call went out to the worlds scientists to find a solution. This is the story of the two enormously gifted, fatally flawed men who found it: the brilliant, self-important Fritz Haber and the reclusive, alcoholic Carl Bosch. Together they discovered a way to make bread out of air, built city-sized factories, controlled world markets, and saved millions of lives.

Get up close and personal with science as Andrew Kessler narrates his hilarious journey inside NASA’s Phoenix Mars mission - a historic enterprise manned by a motley crew of rocket scientists. The Phoenix Mars mission was the first man-made probe ever sent to the Martian arctic.

Stephen Hawking is one of the most remarkable figures of our time, a Cambridge genius who has earned international celebrity as a brilliant theoretical physicist and become an inspiration and revelation to those who have witnessed his courageous triumph over disability. This is Hawking's life story by Kitty Ferguson, who has had special help from Hawking himself and his close associates and who has a gift for translating the language of theoretical physics for non-scientists.

On the night of March 26, 1938, nuclear physicist Ettore Majorana boarded a ship, cash and passport in hand. He was never seen again. In A Brilliant Darkness, theoretical physicist Joo Magueijo tells the story of Majorana and his research group, the Via Panisperna Boys, who discovered atomic fission in 1934. As Majorana, the most brilliant of the group, began to realize the implications of what they had found, he became increasingly unstable.

Not since the atomic bomb has a technology so alarmed its inventors that they warned the world about its use. Not, that is, until the spring of 2015, when biologist Jennifer Doudna called for a worldwide moratorium on the use of the new gene-editing tool CRISPR - a revolutionary new technology that she helped create - to make heritable changes in human embryos.

Il premio Nobel è uno dei più prestigiosi riconoscimenti culturali che possa essere tributato a una persona. Ma è ben lungi dall’essere un vaccino contro le cantonate... fisici, chimici, medici e letterati, tutti premi Nobel, ne sono stati vittime. Il libro racconta in modo brillante e divertente le bizzarre teorie e i clamorosi errori di alcuni premi Nobel. Questo significa che il prestigioso premio svedese è una cosa poco seria? No! Dimostra soltanto che il principio di autorità nella scienza non ha alcun valore: più che l’ipse dixit, contano i fatti!

Everyone recognises the famous physicist with the wild, white hair. But what sort of person was the young Albert Einstein, before he became universally acclaimed as the archetypal genius? And how did his genius unfold? In this brilliant new Kindle Single, scientist Robyn Arianrhod blends biography with popular science to tell the story of how young Albert developed a theory that - unknown to him at first - contained the seeds of his extraordinary equation E = mc2.

La sua immagine è dappertutto. Su tazze, magliette, sui muri delle città, su spille e borse; e le sue frasi e i suoi aforismi sulla scienza e sulla vita sono citati ogni giorno. Albert Einstein è il vero scienziato iconico del secolo scorso; il suo nome - anche per chi fatichi a masticare le teorie fisiche - è sinonimo di genio eccentrico (famoso l'aneddoto che vuole il suo guardaroba pieno di completi identici così da non perdere tempo al mattino a pensare come vestirsi); saggezza bonaria; ma anche risolutezza.

A preeminent geneticist hunts the Neanderthal genome to answer the biggest question of them all: what does it mean to be human? What can we learn from the genes of our closest evolutionary relatives? Neanderthal Man tells the story of geneticist Svante Pbo’s mission to answer that question, beginning with the study of DNA in Egyptian mummies in the early 1980s and culminating in his sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2009.

Gabriella Greison racconta la bizzarra esistenza e le ancor più straordinarie intuizioni di uno dei padri della fisica quantistica, Paul Dirac, fisico premio Nobel 1933. Dirac è stato un fisico geniale e un uomo strambo e meticoloso, costantemente impegnato a elaborare formule, fra cui quella meraviglia grazie alla quale è entrato nella storia della scienza e che lo indica sulla lapide nell'Abbazia di Westminster a fianco di Isaac Newton: i? + ?? = m?.

Höchst kenntnisreich führt uns Werner Bartens durch die Menschheits- und Medizingeschichte. Lebensnah und manchmal blutig erzählt er von Helden der Medizin, vergessenen Dramen und erstaunlichen Entdeckungen, ohne die die Welt heute anders aussähe. Bartens zeigt, was wir von der Viersäftelehre übernommen haben, wie Schneewittchens Glassarg und der Boom der Obduktionen zusammenhängen und weshalb der erste Herzkatheter, den sich Werner Forßmann 1929 selbst einsetzte, vom großen Chirurgen Sauerbruch ignoriert wurde.

Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to Bharat 2020 and learn about A.P.J. Abdul Kalam's plan for how India can be included in the most powerful and prosperous five nations of the world in the next 20 years.

Chi sono gli scienziati che hanno rivoluzionato la storia dell'umanità? Erano davvero dei "geni"? Barbascura X non ha dubbi al riguardo: non solo non lo erano, ma a ben vedere erano anche degli idioti. Pochi sanno delle boiate dette da Democrito, delle folli pratiche alchemiche di Newton, di quante idee si sia fatto fregare quel sociopatico di Tesla o di quanti sbagli abbia commesso Einstein. Quelli che definiamo geni non sono altro che esseri umani appassionati, instancabili ricercatori di conoscenza, con alle spalle un quantitativo inimmaginabile di errori.

The definitive inside account of the file-sharing revolution that overthrew the music industry, All the Rave reveals the family betrayal, greed, and mismanagement that hijacked one the most fundamental innovations of the Internet era.
