Très bon état. In-8. 2008. broché. 398 pages. Décryptant les découvertes les plus récentes de l'astronomie et de la physique Joel R. Primack cosmologiste renommé et Nancy Ellen Abrams philosophe et écrivain nous proposent une vision radicalement différente du cosmos : il n'est pas tout là-haut il est ici même ! Pour les auteurs nous sommes la première génération à pouvoir scientifiquement démontrer que l'homme occupe une place centrale dans l'Univers. La cosmologie actuelle qui appréhende l'Univers comme un Tout sait nous dire de quoi ce dernier est fait comment il est né comment il évolue. Les deux auteurs nous expliquent de quelle façon la science la plus sophistiquée à l'image des mythes de jadis replace l'homme au centre du monde : nous sommes composés du matériau le plus rare nous vivons à une époque intermédiaire - à la moitié de la vie de la Terre - notre cerveau et son intelligence sont au sommet de la complexité universelle. Renouant avec d'anciennes métaphores Primack et Abrams ont créé une série de symboles contemporains exprimant ce lien entre l'homme et le cosmos. Quand elle aura finalement lieu la " prise de conscience cosmique " moderne pourrait bien avoir des implications révolutionnaires sur la vision que chacun d'entre nous a de lui-même de la Terre de son futur et de celui de ses enfants. " En comprenant mieux l'Univers nous commençons à mieux nous comprendre nous-mêmes. ".

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Encuadernación: Rústica Colección: Conjeturas Tras cuatro siglos de divorcio entre la ciencia y lo que se refiere a valores y significados, este libro que abre nuevos horizontes presenta una idea explosiva, de las que pueden cambiar la vida: si el mundo se pusiese de acuerdo en un relato de la creación compartido por todos y basado en la cosmología y la biología modernas --y de un relato así disponemos desde hace poco--, se redefinirían nuestras relaciones con el planeta Tierra y se beneficiaría toda la humanidad, ahora y en el futuro distante. Este libro, escrito en una prosa elocuente y accesible, con ilustraciones en magnífico color a lo largo de toda la obra, entre las que se incluyen imágenes extraídas de simulaciones por superordenador de la evolución del universo, le da vida al nuevo cuadro del universo. Interpreta el significado, para nosotros y nuestros descendientes, de nuestro lugar en el cosmos como seres humanos. Ofrece ideas singulares sobre el uso de estos nuevos conocimientos con el fin de encontrar soluciones a problemas globales que parecen inabordables, como el cambio climático y el crecimiento insostenible. Y explica por qué tenemos que "pensar cósmicamente y actuar globalmente" si queremos tener a largo plazo un futuro próspero en la Tierra. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

SYNOPSIS: Almost every day we read about new hazards in the food we eat, in our environment, and from the nuclear arms race. Why is there so rarely an aggressive government action to protect us against such dangers? Why doesn't our government heed the warnings of its advisers when making decisions on major technological and scientific issues? Advice and Dissent answers these questions by revealing the facts about how the Federal government scandalously misrepresents, buries, and "reinterprets" the information it buys (with your tax dollars) from technological experts. But this book does more than blow the whistle on foul play. It cites actual cases of citizen-scientist alliances that challenged the Federal government on such major issues as nuclear-reactor safety, the development of the SST, the deployment of ABMs, defoliation in Vietnam, the uncontrolled use of pesticides at home, and the addition of cyclamates and other chemicals to our food. By reporting the important victories achieved, this probing, informative study proves that people who care can fight City Hall and win the right to have a voice in decisions about any matter which could have a dangerous effect on public health and welfare. Joel Primack is Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of California at Santa Cruz. Frank von Hippel is a research scientist at the Center for Environmental Studies at Princeton University. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good, plus some; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science,1975. The September, 1975 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, that being Volume 31, Number 7. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover or title page since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be nine minutes of midnight as of late 1975. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 56 pp. Very Good; original addressee label on front cover, some light soiling to covers; inevitable page-toning within is moderate; no other flaws. A handsome example; see all scans. Established in 1945 by biophysicist Eugene Rabinowitch and physicist Hyman Goldsmith in response to a correctly-perceived demand for nuclear information at the time by the general public, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is without doubt the most historically significant non-technical publication on the subject of "'global security and public policy issues related to the dangers posed by nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, climate change,[2] and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence, over the years, BAS has become a geopolitical instrument, rather than a nuclear watchdog alone. Feature articles in this vintage 1975 issue: Nuclear Violence; Lawrence Livermore Lab; UN Agencies; Reactor Safety; Uranium Tailings; NPT Review; more. See scan of contents. Contributors include Samuel H. Day Jr. (Editor); Paul R. Ehrlich; Stuart A. Rice; Herbert F.York; Joel Primack; Fred Finlayson; Norman Rasmussen; Robert Weatherwax; Herbert J.C. Kouts; Frank von Hippel; Hans Bethe; David Dinsmore Comey; William Epstein; et al. Very, very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag.
