Book excerpt: We are all fascinated by the mystery of metamorphosis – of the caterpillar that transforms itself into a butterfly. Their bodies have almost nothing in common. They don’t share the same world: one crawls on the ground and the other flutters its wings in the air. And yet they are one and the same life. Emanuele Coccia argues that metamorphosis – the phenomenon that allows the same life to subsist in disparate bodies – is the relationship that binds all species together and unites the living with the non-living. Bacteria, viruses, fungi, plants, animals: they are all one and the same life. Each species, including the human species, is the metamorphosis of all those that preceded it – the same life, cobbling together a new body and a new form in order to exist differently. And there is no opposition between the living and the non-living: life is always the reincarnation of the non-living, a carnival of the telluric substance of a planet – the Earth – that continually draws new faces and new ways of being out of even the smallest particle of its disparate body. By highlighting what joins humans together with other forms of life, Coccia’s brilliant reflection on metamorphosis encourages us to abandon our view of the human species as static and independent and to recognize instead that we are part of a much larger and interconnected form of life.
Download or read book Radioactive written by Winifred Conkling and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating, little-known story of how two brilliant female physicists’ groundbreaking discoveries led to the creation of the atomic bomb. In 1934, Irène Curie, working with her husband and fellow scientist, Frederic Joliot, made a discovery that would change the world: artificial radioactivity. This breakthrough allowed scientists to modify elements and create new ones by altering the structure of atoms. Curie shared a Nobel Prize with her husband for their work. But when she was nominated to the French Academy of Sciences, the academy denied her admission and voted to disqualify all women from membership. Four years later, Curie’s breakthrough led physicist Lise Meitner to a brilliant leap of understanding that unlocked the secret of nuclear fission. Meitner’s unique insight was critical to the revolution in science that led to nuclear energy and the race to build the atom bomb, yet her achievement was left unrecognized by the Nobel committee in favor of that of her male colleague. Radioactive! presents the story of two women breaking ground in a male-dominated field, scientists still largely unknown despite their crucial contributions to cutting-edge research, in a nonfiction narrative that reads with the suspense of a thriller. Photographs and sidebars illuminate and clarify the science in the book.

Book excerpt: This book is significant for its concept of "openness"--the artist's decision to leave arrangements of some constituents of a work to the public or to chance--and for its anticipation of two themes of literary theory: the element of multiplicity and plurality in art, and the insistence on literary response as an interaction between reader and text.

Download or read book Marie Curie et sa fille Ir ne written by Rosalynd Pflaum and published by Belfond. This book was released on 1992 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On peut dire que la science moderne, de la thérapie du cancer à la fission de l'atome, est née dans le laboratoire modeste d'un couple devenu légendaire : Pierre et Marie Curie. Leurs travaux, qui aboutirent à la découverte du radium et du polonium, poursuivis par leur fille Irène et son mari Frédéric Joliot, découvreurs de la radioactivité artificielle, valurent à cette famille une distinction exceptionnelle : trois prix Nobel sur deux générations (en 1903, 1911 et 1935). Pour retracer leur histoire, de la naissance de Marie, en 1867, à la mort de Frédéric, en 1958, Rosalynd Pflaum a notamment pu consulter la correspondance inédite des Joliot-Curie ainsi que d'autres documents à la bibliothèque de l'Institut du radium à Paris, et les archives Curie de la Bibliothèque nationale, accessibles seulement depuis janvier 1990. Aussi son livre est-il sans nul doute le plus complet sur le sujet. Outre les portraits attachants et nuancés qu'elle brosse, avec un grand souci de vérité et d'objectivité, elle a su reconstituer de la manière la plus vivante un demi-siècle d'histoire et de vie intellectuelle en France et aux Etats-Unis - quelques décennies déterminantes pour l'avenir de l'homme, puisqu'elles ont marqué son entrée dans l'Age atomique.

Puis un choix des textes de Frédéric Joliot-Curie souligne certaines constantes de ses idées : nécessité de préserver la liberté du chercheur, conscience de la responsabilité des scientifiques et des limites de nos modèles de société qui l'ont conduit à l'engagement communiste, une vision de l'avenir.
Download or read book 10 Corso Como written by Carla Sozzani and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carla Sozzani opened Galleria Carla Sozzani in September 1990 as a space for art, photography, and design housed in a converted garage at 10 Corso Como in Milan. Along with American artist Kris Ruhs, Sozzani created a space like no other. Rejecting ordinary retail norms, this concept store has always promoted a different philosophy—that of slow shopping, a succession of spaces and events that prioritize lifestyle over object acquisition. In this book, Sozzani describes her world: her style, personal taste, and opinions on fashion, travel, design, and lifestyle. The Galleria now incorporates a bookshop, a fashion and design store, and a garden café, and it is one of Milan’s hippest and most exquisitely curated spaces—a destination in itself. 10 Corso Como has become the nexus of a global network of cultural exchange through fashion, food, art, and photography that continues to inspire fashion and design. In recent years, two additional locations have been added: 10 Corso Como–Comme des Garçons in Tokyo in 2002 and a Seoul branch in 2008.

Download or read book Marie Curie ma m re written by Irène Joliot-Curie and published by Plon. This book was released on 2022-03-24 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un témoignage inédit d'Irène Joliot-Curie sur sa mère Marie Curie. Alliant vie familiale, anecdotes privées et recherches scientifiques, voici un document rare et émouvant sur une famille d'exception et sur deux " femmes puissantes ", lauréates du prix Nobel avec leurs maris. En 1954, à l'occasion des 20 ans de la mort de Marie Curie, la revue Europe commande à sa fille Irène un article – resté confidentiel et jamais réédité jusqu'à aujourd'hui – dans lequel elle livre " souvenirs et impressions " sur sa mère. Irène y aborde l'enseignement dont elle a bénéficié et qu'elle caractérise d'" un peu désordonné ", l'importance qu'elle et sa mère accordent à la pratique des exercices physiques, aux excursions en montagne ou à la mer, à tout type de loisirs actifs. L'une et l'autre aiment la nature et la poésie, à laquelle son grand-père a initié Irène et que Marie avait acquis dans sa jeunesse. Les années 1914-1918 sont un tournant majeur dans la vie de Marie Curie. Elle équipe des voitures radiologiques et forme des groupes d'infirmières à la pratique des appareils à rayons X. Irène, s'implique très tôt, à 17 ans, dans le travail entrepris par sa mère dont elle devient, avec le même caractère calme et réfléchi que son père, une collaboratrice privilégiée. Elle aura bientôt une place reconnue à l'Institut du Radium où elle entreprend ses propres recherches et rencontre Frédéric Joliot. Leurs travaux communs les mèneront jusqu'au Prix Nobel de chimie en 1935. Une découverte qui complète si bien celle de Pierre et Marie Curie. Irène aborde enfin la personnalité de Marie, ses opinions religieuses et politiques. Leurs idées se rencontrent sur la science, le plaisir de la découverte, l'horreur de la guerre qu'elles ont vue de près. Mais, contrairement à sa fille, Marie a peu exprimé, en dehors de sa famille, ses opinions sur les injustices sociales, le gâchage des ressources naturelles ou les crédits militaires. Un témoignage unique sur une fille et sa mère qui ont toutes les deux marqué l'histoire.
