A good book may have the power to change the way we see the world, but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness, pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted, and we forget how provocative and challenging its ideas once were - and still are. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that kind of book.

Este é um audiolivro de agricultura para filósofos e um audiolivro de filosofia para agricultores. Como nenhum de nós pode se abster de pensar ou de comer, todos deveríamos ser filósofos e agricultores em alguma medida. Sintropia é a tendência expressa pela vida de acumular e organizar energia, ou seja, uma força complementar à entropia.

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.

Es la intención de este audiolibro mostrar que en la relatividad general esas dos caras de la cultura muestran el mismo aire de familia que cualquiera puede apreciar entre el rostro delirante que la tradición nos ha legado de don Quijote y ese icono de la modernidad que es el rostro de un Einstein desmelenado.

Negli ultimi anni il modo di fare scienza è radicalmente cambiato. Le riflessioni e le esperienze personali di un protagonista ci aiutano a capire i meccanismi della ricerca scientifica contemporanea. Un sistema in cui passione e rigore faticano a trovare spazio, schiacciati come sono da dure leggi di mercato. Da vocazione di pochi, fare ricerca è diventato un mestiere di molti, forse di troppi. Con conseguenze e rischi, come l'aumento di frodi, plagi, ma soprattutto con una produzione scientifica abnorme e spesso di scarso rilievo.

Whistleblowers pay with their lives to save ours. When insiders like former NSA analyst Edward Snowden, ex-FBI agent Coleen Rowley, or Big Tobacco truth-teller Jeffrey Wigand blow the whistle on high-level lying, lawbreaking or other wrongdoing - whether it's government spying, corporate murder, or scientific scandal - the public benefits enormously. Wars are ended, deadly products are taken off the market, white-collar criminals are sent to jail. The whistleblowers themselves, however, generally end up ruined.

For modern science, the transitional states of consciousness lie at the forefront of research in many fields. For a Buddhist practitioner, these same states present crucial opportunities to explore and transform consciousness itself. This book is the account of a historic dialogue between leading Western scientists and the Dalai Lama of Tibet. Revolving around three key moments of consciousness - sleep, dreams, and death - the conversations recorded here are both engrossing and highly listenable.

Luis Íñigo nos ofrece una versión total de la alquimia, desde sus antecedentes en las doctrinas filosóficas del hermetismo, del gnosticismo, del pitagorismo y de la Escuela de Jonia hasta la actualidad en la que, si bien no se practica, sí que se han aprovechado sus hallazgos en medicina o en química. Nos muestra en el inicio del audiolibro las teorías de la alquimia, el trabajo de laboratorio de los alquimistas y los avances a los que llegaron con principios que aún pertenecen a la ciencia como el de causa y efecto.

Può distruggere o curare, essere usato per diagnosi mediche o come chiave di accesso per esplorare l'infinitamente piccolo. Dannazione o salvezza per l'umanità? L'atomo è il mattone fondamentale della materia, il suo nucleo alimenta il Sole e potrebbe garantirci per sempre energia sicura e pulita. Questo audiolibro ce lo illustra a tutto campo, dai nanomateriali alla medicina, alle comunicazioni, affacciandosi sul futuro dove il teletrasporto, i computer quantistici, i mantelli dell'invisibilità lo renderanno ancora più protagonista.

In June of 1916, Albert Einstein published his ambitious paper proposing the existence of gravitational waves. In 2016, Einstein's 100-year-old theory was proven correct when scientists detected ripples in the fabric of space. Einstein and Relativity: A Conversation by Paul Rudd and Brian Greene celebrates this achievement, with Greene and Rudd sitting down to talk about string theory, relativity, and the discovery of gravitational waves.

Un tempo si studiava il cielo dall'alto dei templi. Oggi con telescopi spaziali. Un tempo si credeva che l'universo fosse una cupola sopra la Terra piatta. Oggi sappiamo di essere una briciola nello spazio-tempo che si espande dopo il Big Bang. Un tempo ogni civiltà aveva la sua cosmologia. Oggi tutto il mondo ha una sola scienza. In ogni caso, dai miti più ingenui alle teorie scientifiche più ardite, quello dell'Universo resta il "racconto" più affascinante che ha accompagnato l'evoluzione culturale dell'uomo.

From the Siberian permafrost to balmy California, scientists across the globe are working to resurrect all kinds of extinct animals, from ones that just left us to those that have been gone for many thousands of years. Their tools in this hunt are both fossils and cutting-edge genetic technologies. Some of these scientists are driven by sheer curiosity; others view the lost species as a powerful weapon in the fight to preserve rapidly changing ecosystems. It seems certain that these animals will walk the earth again, but what world will that give us? And is any of this a good idea?

The science is overwhelming; the facts are in. The planet is heating up at an alarming rate and the results are everywhere to be seen. Yet, as time runs out, climate progress is blocked by the men who are profiting from the burning of the planet: energy moguls like the Koch brothers and Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson. Powerful politicians like Senators Mitch McConnell and Jim Inhofe, who receive massive contributions from the oil and coal industries. Most of these men are too intelligent to truly believe that climate change is not a growing crisis.

Una obra vívida y poética que recuerda los viajes alrededor del mundo y los encuentros humanos, animales y naturales que han dado forma a una vida extraordinaria.

La tarea de resumir más de tres milenios de investigaciones sobre el cielo parece imposible, más difícil aún parece presentarla de modo que pueda ser conocido por cualquier tipo de oyente, y de modo que se disfrute con el descubrimiento de los cuerpos que pueblan el espacio y con la historia de los grandes hombres que hicieron avanzar la astronomía hasta sacar al hombre y a la Tierra, del centro del universo y colocarlo en un lugar periférico en la orilla del cosmos. Breve historia de la astronomía emprende esta tarea y consigue desplegar ante nosotros el universo.

At once elegant and riveting, Sync tells the story of the dawn of a new science. Steven Strogatz, a leading mathematician in the fields of chaos and complexity theory, explains how enormous systems can synchronize themselves, from the electrons in a superconductor to the pacemaker cells in our hearts. He shows that although these phenomena might seem unrelated on the surface, at a deeper level there is a connection, forged by the unifying power of mathematics.
