Download or read book El tama o si importa y otras historias con Ciencia written by Alexis Hidrobo Portilla and published by Ewe Editorial Acad MIA Espa Ola. This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Todos los dias usamos telefonos moviles, computadoras, miramos television, escuchamos la radio, cocinamos en sartenes de teflon o en hornos de microondas. Por otro lado hemos escuchado que se conoce el codigo genetico completo de los seres humanos y que hemos llegado a la luna. La ciencia siempre nos impacta con sus maravillosos y asombrosos descubrimientos. Lastimosamente este conocimiento pareceria estar cada vez mas lejano al ciudadano en general. La serie de relatos consignada en este libro pretende mostrar la ciencia y sus aportes sin entrar en formulas o aspectos sumamente tecnicos. El objetivo fundamental es acercar la ciencia al publico y hacerla mas comprensible; resaltando el lado atractivo entretenido y humano del conocimiento cientifico. En estas paginas el lector se encontrara con ricitos de oro, con cientificos que dejaron la cabeza o un ojo por la ciencia, pasando por los zombis, o el notable esfuerzo de los espermatozoides por ganar su carrera. Usted podra leer acerca de la quimica del amor y el tamano del universo. Esta es una obra de divulgacion que, si he cumplido con mi cometido, deberia poder leerse tanto en un dia de lluvia como a la orilla del mar."

Download or read book The Light written by Fernando Viveros and published by Caligrama. This book was released on 2020-11-18 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Light" is a fiction novel that describes the life of a hypermodern society in which the speed of exponential development of technology has modified behavioral patterns, life expectancy, memory and the imagination of the human being. The plot of “The Light” moves in the midst of individual post-truth of the protagonist, President Salvador Leal, and the antagonist, President Jackie Peres, concerning their vision of the planet, the human species and the conservation of freedom in the face of new technology. The characters are from two distinct demographic groups: those who have improved their capacities and the ones who have kept themselves natural. In the middle of their diverse lights and shadows, the possibility remains to preserve the freedom of decision to access or withdraw from new technologies to enjoy natural beauty, shared joy, empathy and solidarity. Hypermodern life is the darkness of uncertainty that can only be survived with the light of candor.

Download or read book The Information written by James Gleick and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of the acclaimed Chaos and Genius comes a thoughtful and provocative exploration of the big ideas of the modern era: Information, communication, and information theory. Acclaimed science writer James Gleick presents an eye-opening vision of how our relationship to information has transformed the very nature of human consciousness. A fascinating intellectual journey through the history of communication and information, from the language of Africa’s talking drums to the invention of written alphabets; from the electronic transmission of code to the origins of information theory, into the new information age and the current deluge of news, tweets, images, and blogs. Along the way, Gleick profiles key innovators, including Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Samuel Morse, and Claude Shannon, and reveals how our understanding of information is transforming not only how we look at the world, but how we live.

That is, until he tells the only other child on the island, Chrissie, who concludes that there is only one way to stop his demonic uncle: Barnaby will just have to kill him first. With the unexpected help of One-Ear, the aged cougar who has tormented the island for years, Chrissie and Barnaby hatch a fool-proof plan.

Download or read book World Literature Cosmopolitanism Globality written by Gesine Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From today’s vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond, Against, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically (but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume provides innovative insights into critical readings of World Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.
