Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plinio sigue dando muestras de su curiosidad insaciable. Si bien en estos libros de zoología comete algunos errores y no logra componer un estudio naturalista serio, transmite gran cantidad de conocimientos curiosos e interesantes sobre el estado de la ciencia en su tiempo. Este volumen comprende los libros VII-XI, dedicados a antropología y zoología. El libro VII trata del hombre como especie (su fragilidad ante la naturaleza, generación, fisiología, curiosidades y monstruosidades, cualidades extraordinarias, etc.). En el libro VIII el tema central son los animales terrestres; en el IX, los acuáticos; en el X, las aves, y en el XI, los insectos. Es en estos libros de zoología donde se ve más claramente que, a pesar del título de la obra, Plinio no es un verdadero naturalista en el sentido moderno de la palabra, pues no hace una descripción fisiológica o anatómica exhaustiva de los animales, sino que se interesa más por la noticia curiosa, por las anécdotas en las que intervienen animales. Se trata, en cualquier caso, de una obra única por la información que ofrece sobre determinados aspectos de la vida cotidiana en Roma.
Download or read book Historia natural Libros XVII XIX written by Plinio el Viejo and published by RBA Libros. This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De la vasta producción de Plinio el Viejo solo ha llegado a nosotros la Historia Natural, en treinta y siete libros, sin duda la enciclopedia antigua más amplia y erudita que conocemos. Esta obra es tanto natural como cultural: contempla el mundo, ante y sobre todo, como el escenario de la vida y actividad humana y, movida por esa concepción, pone en primer plano todo cuanto el hombre ha sido capaz de hacer con la naturaleza. La quinta entrega de esta vasta obra editada por Gredos incluye los libros XVII-XIX, que concluyen la amplia sección dedicada a las plantas, iniciada en los libros XII-XVI, y un amplísimo y detallado triple índice en el que se recogen los nombres propios de persona y de lugar, y los términos botánicos. Como en los anteriores volúmenes de Historia Natural, la traducción, notas e índices de la obra corren a cargo de un equipo de especialistas coordinados por Ana M.a Moure Casas, Catedrática de la Universidad Complutense.
Download or read book Historia natural Libros XII XVI written by Plinio el Viejo and published by RBA Libros. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Por su amor a la naturaleza, Plinio conecta fácilmente con la sensibilidad del lector actual. Los libros XII-XVI de la Historia natural tratan de botánica –que, junto con la zoología del volumen anterior, constituye el verdadero núcleo de toda la obra–. Plinio orienta su tratamiento hacia la medicina y los remedios salutíferos, como es propio de la tendencia práctica dominante en las producciones científicas de los romanos. Además, a Plinio le interesa destacar en qué momento se introduce el cultivo de los árboles en Roma, especialmente el de los frutales; cuándo comienzan a llegar productos de lujo importados de tierras lejanas, como el azúcar o la pimienta; cuál es la utilidad de los árboles en la alimentación o en diferentes industrias, desde la perfumería hasta la elaboración del papiro para la escritura, y qué función institucional desempeñan en la vida social, política y religiosa de Roma. El punto de vista que adopta Plinio es el del naturalista capaz de citar todas las variedades conocidas de cada especie, pero también el de un espíritu inquieto atento a subrayar todos los detalles culturales, históricos e incluso fabulosos que acompañan la llegada del árbol a Roma.

Download or read book Early Medieval Monetary History written by Martin Allen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Blackburn was one of the leading scholars of the numismatics and monetary history of the British Isles and Scandinavia during the early medieval period. He published more than 200 books and articles on the subject, and was instrumental in building bridges between numismatics and associated disciplines, in fostering international communication and cooperation, and in establishing initiatives to record new coin finds. This memorial volume of essays commemorates Mark Blackburn’s considerable achievement and impact on the field, builds on his research and evaluates a vibrant period in the study of early medieval monetary history. Containing a broad range of high-quality research from both established figures and younger scholars, the essays in this volume maintain a tight focus on Europe in the early Middle Ages (6th-12th centuries), reflecting Mark’s primary research interests. In geographical terms the scope of the volume stretches from Spain to the Baltic, with a concentration of papers on the British Isles. As well as a fitting tribute to remarkable scholar, the essays in this collection constitute a major body of research which will be of long-term value to anyone with an interest in the history of early medieval Europe.

Download or read book Introduction to Probability written by David F. Anderson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classroom-tested textbook is an introduction to probability theory, with the right balance between mathematical precision, probabilistic intuition, and concrete applications. Introduction to Probability covers the material precisely, while avoiding excessive technical details. After introducing the basic vocabulary of randomness, including events, probabilities, and random variables, the text offers the reader a first glimpse of the major theorems of the subject: the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. The important probability distributions are introduced organically as they arise from applications. The discrete and continuous sides of probability are treated together to emphasize their similarities. Intended for students with a calculus background, the text teaches not only the nuts and bolts of probability theory and how to solve specific problems, but also why the methods of solution work.
