Story
Since the first humans looked up and saw the sun swallowed by darkness, our species has been captivated by solar eclipses. Astronomer and anthropologist Anthony Aveni explains the history and culture surrounding solar eclipses, from prehistoric Stonehenge to Babylonian creation myths, to a confirmation of Einstein's theory of general relativity, to a spectacle that left New Yorkers in the moon's shadow, to future eclipses that will capture human imaginations.

Story
John James Audubon's The Birds of America stands as an unparalleled achievement in American art. With that work, Audubon became one of the most adulated artists of his time, and America's first celebrity scientist. A self-made man incessantly striving to secure his place in American society, Audubon made himself into a skilled painter, a successful entrepreneur, and a prolific writer, whose words went well beyond birds and scientific description.

Ever wonder why onions make you cry? Or why lizards do pushups? Or why leaves change color in the fall? Don't worry, you're not alone. Acclaimed science writer and broadcaster Jay Ingram wonders the same things. After a long career of asking important questions (does time speed up as we age? How much Neanderthal is in me? Why do some animals throw their feces?), he's here to put our scientific quandaries to rest.

Story
"Hace muchos años -1976- estuve en Tucson, Arizona, y en el planetario de la ciudad había un ciclo de charlas de divulgación. Una de ellas me llamó poderosamente la atención. La ofrecía el astrónomo de la Universidad de Arizona, Nick Woolf, y se titulaba "The Universe: I can Feel it in my Bones". El título era tan provocativo que me inspiró para una charla pública que, ya de vuelta en Chile, he dictado durante años: "Somos polvo de estrellas". A miles de jóvenes y no tan jóvenes les he contado lo que yo considero una de las más grandes historias de la astronomía.

Story
Tutti i grandi protagonisti della storia della scienza hanno qualcosa in comune: un'ingenua, entusiastica curiosità, l'abitudine di osservare, la consapevolezza di non possedere a priori la verità. È l'atteggiamento dei "cercatori di meraviglia" che da sempre anima chi tenta di capire il mondo interrogando direttamente la natura (con risultati migliori dopo Galileo, grazie all'uso sistematico del metodo sperimentale). Per mostrare questo approccio in azione, Amedeo Balbi, astrofisico e brillante divulgatore, ha individuato sei grandi domande che potrebbe porre anche un bambino.

Bruxelles, 29 ottobre 1927. Si è appena concluso il V Congresso Solvay della Fisica, che ha visto riuniti i fisici più illustri dell'epoca, gli stessi che ora si apprestano a partecipare a una cena di gala, ospiti dei reali del Belgio. C'è Albert Einstein, scherzoso come suo solito; Marie Curie, saggia e composta; Niels Bohr, che maschera bene la tensione sotto un'aria gioviale; e poi ancora Arthur Compton, William Bragg, Irving Langmuir...

Story
Der er ikke otte, men milliarder af planeter i Universet, og mange af dem ligger i et lunt smørhul, hvor de potentielt kan huse liv. Den opdagelse er en af de største i den moderne astronomi, og vi er kun lige begyndt at forstå, hvad der egentlig gemmer sig derude i kosmos af bizarre kloder. "Fjerne kloder" beskriver erkendelsesrejsen, fra Giordano Bruno blev brændt på bålet i år 1600 for sin kætterske idé om uendelig mange planeter - og til konstruktionen af små satellitter, som måske kan besøge de nærmeste af disse exoplaneter og lede efter livstegn på dem.

Story
La scienza moderna non nasce con Galileo e Newton. Le sue origini vanno retrodatate di almeno 2000 anni, alla fine del IV sec. a.C. La Rivoluzione scientifica del XVIII sec. riscopre la Rivoluzione ellenistica di figure come Euclide, Archimede, Erarstotene, Aristarco di Samo e di tanti altri raffinati scienziati. Lo studio della "rivoluzione scientifica", cioè della nascita dello sviluppo scientifico, è indispensabile per la comprensione della "civiltà classica". Inoltre, l'esame del ruolo svolto dalla scienza nella civiltà ellenistica è essenziale.

Story
In 1910, Mary Acworth Evershed (1867-1949) sat on a hill in southern India staring at the moon as she grappled with apparent mistakes in Dante's Divine Comedy. Was Dante's astronomy unintelligible? Or was he, for a man of his time and place, as insightful as one could be about the sky? As the 20th century began, women who wished to become professional astronomers faced difficult cultural barriers, but Evershed joined the British Astronomical Association and, from an Indian observatory, became an experienced observer of sunspots, solar eclipses, and variable stars.

James Smithson is best known as the founder of the Smithsonian Institution, but few people know his full and fascinating story. He was a widely respected chemist and mineralogist and a member of the Royal Society, but in 1865, his letters, collection of 10,000 minerals, and more than 200 unpublished papers were lost to a fire in the Smithsonian Castle. His scientific legacy was further written off as insignificant in an 1879 essay published through the Smithsonian 50 years after his death - a claim that author Steven Turner demonstrates is far from the truth.

The creator of the first IUD, known as the Gräfenberg ring, he was posthumously credited with identifying the eponymous "Gräfenberg spot" or G-spot. He was also a Jew in Nazi Germany, and by 1938 he had been stripped of his practice, his possessions, and his freedom and was languishing in a Nazi prison.

Author Kurt C. Schlichting tells the story of the Manhattan waterfront as a struggle between public and private control of New York's priceless asset. Nature provided New York with a sheltered harbor but presented the city with a challenge: to find the necessary capital to build and expand the maritime infrastructure. From colonial times until after the Civil War, the city ceded control of the waterfront to private interests, excluding the public entirely and sparking a battle between shipping companies, the railroads, and ferries for access to the waterfront.

Un "Acte Juste" est d'abord, selon la définition donnée au Camp des Milles, un acte de résistance ou de réaction contre une situation de discrimination, d'injustice ou de persécution. C'est un acte désintéressé, individuel ou collectif, pouvant être apparemment anodin, voire passif, violent ou héroïque et destiné à aider autrui ou à combattre une situation inacceptable. Au Camp des Milles, on montre que dans tous les génocides, il y a eu des gens très divers, de tous âges, de toutes conditions, de toutes origines.

Mars has been a source of fascination and speculation ever since the ancient Egyptians observed its blood-red hue and named it for their god of war and plague. But it wasn't until the 19th century when "canals" were observed on the surface of the Red Planet, suggesting the presence of water, that scientists, novelists, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs became obsessed with the question of whether there's life on Mars. The Big Book of Mars is the most comprehensive look at our relationship with Mars - yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
