Story1
Beginning with a detailed discussion of the role of mathematics and experimentation in validating generalizations in physics-looking closely at the reasoning of scientists such as Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Lavoisier, and Maxwell-Harriman skillfully argues that the inductive method used in philosophy is in principle indistinguishable from the method used in physics.

Story3
Simply put, an algorithm is a set of instructions-it's the code that makes computers run. A basic idea that proved elusive for hundreds of years and bent the minds of the greatest thinkers in the world, the algorithm is what made the modern world possible. Without the algorithm, there would have been no computer, no Internet, no virtual reality, no e-mail, or any other technological advance that we rely on every day.

Who are we, and how do we relate to each other? Luciano Floridi, one of the leading figures in contemporary philosophy, argues that the explosive developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is changing the answer to these fundamental human questions. As the boundaries between life online and offline break down, and we become seamlessly connected to each other and surrounded by smart, responsive objects, we are all becoming integrated into an "infosphere".

More Damned Lies and Statistics encourages all of us to think in a more sophisticated and skeptical manner about how statistics are used to promote causes, create fear, and advance particular points of view. Best identifies different sorts of numbers that shape how we think about public issues: missing numbers are relevant but overlooked; confusing numbers bewilder when they should inform; scary numbers play to our fears about the present and the future.

In Reinventing Discovery, Michael Nielsen argues that we are living at the dawn of the most dramatic change in science in more than 300 years. This change is being driven by powerful new cognitive tools, enabled by the internet, which are greatly accelerating scientific discovery. There are many books about how the internet is changing business or the workplace or government. But this is the first book about how the internet is transforming the nature of our collective intelligence.

Warriors of the Cloisters tells how key cultural innovations from Central Asia revolutionized medieval Europe and gave rise to the culture of science in the West. Medieval scholars rarely performed scientific experiments, but instead contested issues in natural science, philosophy, and theology using the recursive argument method. This highly distinctive and unusual method of disputation was a core feature of medieval science, the predecessor of modern science.

Few diseases are more gruesome than typhus. Transmitted by body lice, it afflicts the dispossessed - refugees, soldiers, and ghettoized peoples - causing hallucinations, terrible headaches, boiling fever, and often death. The disease plagued the German army on the Eastern Front and left the Reich desperate for a vaccine. For this they turned to the brilliant and eccentric Polish zoologist Rudolf Weigl.

When planes crash, bridges collapse, and automobile gas tanks explode, we are quick to blame poor design. But Henry Petroski says we must look beyond design for causes and corrections. Known for his masterly explanations of engineering successes and failures, Petroski here takes his analysis a step further, to consider the larger context in which accidents occur. In To Forgive Design he surveys some of the most infamous failures of our time.

Story1
To listen to most pundits and political writers, evolution, stem cells, and climate change are the only scientific issues worth mentioning and the only people who are anti-science are conservatives. Now for the first time, science writers Dr. Alex B. Berezow and Hank Campbell have drawn open the curtain on the left’s fear of science. As Science Left Behind reveals, vague inclinations about the wholesomeness of all things natural, the unhealthiness of the unnatural, and many other seductive fallacies have led to an epidemic of misinformation.

Anni fa, sulle rive del lago Bajkal, in Siberia, una donna mi lesse la mano. E un paio di anni dopo un bramino della città sacra di Vrindavan, in India, guardò nel mio futuro. Entrambi mi raccontarono delle stesse gioie che mi avrebbe riservato la vita. E della morte. Prematura e violenta. Che dovrebbe cogliermi tra poco.Alcune tra le cose predette si sono avverate. Altre non saprei. Le parole si sono perse nel tempo insieme alle cose a cui non do importanza. Ma con l’avvicinarsi di quell’appuntamento mi sono ritrovato a concentrarmi su un errore della divinazione.

Quella dell’umanità è una storia avventurosa, costellata di snodi fondamentali, piccole e grandi scoperte o invenzioni che hanno cambiato per sempre la nostra civiltà e l’ambiente intorno a noi e ci hanno trasformato da ominidi pelosi ma ingegnosi in esseri umani dotati di humour e gusti raffinati (e chissà se è stato un bene).

El 13 de enero de 2020, Salvador Illa tomaba posesión de su nuevo cargo: Ministro de Sanidad. Ese mismo día, en la otra punta del mundo, las alertas empezaban a sonar en Wuhan. Transcurrido un tiempo prudencial y superada ya una de las peores crisis sanitarias de la historia, toca hacer balance y dar cuenta de lo acaecido. Esta es una crónica en primera persona de un año que transcurrió a un ritmo frenético, un libro que nos sumerge en la trastienda del poder, una pequeña sala de crisis desde la que se lideró y coordinó el trabajo de cientos de profesionales y en la que fue imposible aislarse de la gravedad y de la tensión con la que se vivía en España esos días.

Alles passiert irgendwann zum ersten Mal. Oft ist dieses erste Mal eine mutige Idee, manchmal aber auch ein schräger Zufall oder das Ergebnis jahrelanger Forschung. Sicher ist, ohne diesen einen Moment sähe unser Alltag heute völlig anders aus. Wir würden zum Beispiel anders frühstücken, andere Musik hören oder anders verhüten. Wir hätten wahrscheinlich keine Impfstoffe und weniger Urlaubstage, unsere Drucker würden nicht funktionieren, das Essen würde anders schmecken – von all den medizinischen Entwicklungen ganz zu schweigen.
