なぜ熊楠は完成を嫌ったのか？驚くべき才能を多方面に発揮しながら、その仕事のほとんどが未完に終わった南方熊楠。

I hate every wave of the ocean', the seasick Charles Darwin wrote to his family during his five-year voyage on the H.M.S. Beagle. It was this world-wide journey, however, that launched the scientists career.

An inspiring collection of essays, in which Albert Einstein addresses the topics that fascinated him as a scientist, philosopher, and humanitarian. Divided by subject matter - “Science,” “Convictions and Beliefs,” “Public Affairs,” etc. - these essays consider everything from the need for a “supranational” governing body to control war in the atomic age, to freedom in research and education, to Jewish history and Zionism, to explanations of the physics and scientific thought that brought him world recognition.

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has attracted one of the world’s largest online followings with his fascinating, widely accessible insights into science and our universe. Now, Tyson invites us to go behind the scenes of his public fame by unveiling his candid correspondence with people across the globe who have sought him out in search of answers. In this hand-picked collection of 100 letters, Tyson draws upon cosmic perspectives to address a vast array of questions about science, faith, philosophy, life, and of course, Pluto.

Not since the atomic bomb has a technology so alarmed its inventors that they warned the world about its use. Not, that is, until the spring of 2015, when biologist Jennifer Doudna called for a worldwide moratorium on the use of the new gene-editing tool CRISPR - a revolutionary new technology that she helped create - to make heritable changes in human embryos.

Part odyssey, part pilgrimage, this epic personal narrative follows the author’s exploration of coasts, islands, reefs, and the sea’s abyssal depths. Scientist and fisherman Carl Safina takes readers on a global journey of discovery, probing for truth about the world’s changing seas, deftly weaving adventure, science, and political analysis.

In late May 1927 an inexperienced and unassuming 25-year-old Air Mail pilot from rural Minnesota stunned the world by making the first non-stop transatlantic flight. A spectacular feat of individual daring and collective technological accomplishment, Charles Lindbergh's flight from New York to Paris ushered in America's age of commercial aviation.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, long-suppressed information has emerged on Heisenberg’s role in the Nazi atomic bomb project. In Beyond Uncertainty, Cassidy interprets this and other previously unknown material within the context of his vast research and tackles the vexing questions of a scientist’s personal responsibility and guilt when serving an abhorrent military regime.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to find yourself strapped to a giant rocket that's about to go from zero to 17,500 miles per hour? Or to look back on Earth from outer space and see the surprisingly precise line between day and night? Or to stand in front of the Hubble Space Telescope, wondering if the emergency repair you're about to make will inadvertently ruin humankind's chance to unlock the universe's secrets? Mike Massimino has been there, and in Spaceman he puts you inside the suit.

In this book, Prusiner tells the remarkable story of his discovery of prions - infectious proteins that replicate and cause disease but surprisingly contain no genetic material - and reveals how superb and meticulous science is actually practiced with talented teams of researchers who persevere. He recounts the frustrations and rewards of years of research and offers fascinating portraits of his peers as they raced to discover the causes of fatal brain diseases.

A preeminent geneticist hunts the Neanderthal genome to answer the biggest question of them all: what does it mean to be human? What can we learn from the genes of our closest evolutionary relatives? Neanderthal Man tells the story of geneticist Svante Pbo’s mission to answer that question, beginning with the study of DNA in Egyptian mummies in the early 1980s and culminating in his sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2009.

When leading Princeton physicist Paul Steinhardt began working in the 1980s, scientists thought they knew all the conceivable forms of matter. The Second Kind of Impossible is the story of Steinhardt’s 35-year-long quest to challenge conventional wisdom. It begins with a curious geometric pattern that inspires two theoretical physicists to propose a radically new type of matter - one that raises the possibility of new materials with never-before-seen properties but that violates laws set in stone for centuries.

"16 Luglio 1945. È la mattina del giorno X. Io sono qui, a Compania Hill. Appena si avvicinano le 5.30 comincia il conto alla rovescia. La musica di Caijkovskij diffusa dall'interfono ha il compito di rasserenare gli animi mentre aspettiamo la detonazione". Sono parole di Leona Woods, la fisica donna che ha partecipato direttamente alla creazione della bomba atomica.

Cosa fa nella vita un fisico teorico che arriva per primo a scoperte fondamentali fino a vincere il Premio Nobel? Pensa, ragiona con altri fisici e calcola. Molte intuizioni cruciali in tutta l’esistenza, frutto di miriadi di calcoli e di ipotesi, a volte esatte a volte sbagliate, che, in un attimo o nel corso degli anni, svelano una parte del mistero che ci avvolge con conseguenze spesso impensate e imprevedibili.

Albert Einstein ha definito Wolfgang Pauli il suo unico e degno successore. Perché? Cosa rende il pensiero di Pauli unico e interessante? Questo è un viaggio alla scoperta dei segreti di uno dei fisici quantistici più importanti del XX Secolo. Dalla sua vita e dalle sue intuizioni ci faremo travolgere, per capire chi siamo e da dove veniamo, ci identificheremo nelle sue insofferenze e nei suoi abissi, per trovare una nuova chiave di lettura per vivere seguendo il nostro naturale talento, per crescere ed innalzarci.

¿Cómo ha sido la evolución del concepto de tiempo a lo largo de nuestra historia? ¿Cómo diferentes disciplinas como la astronomía, la física, las matemáticas, la biología o el arte han abordado su estudio? ¿Qué formas de medirlo hemos usado desde la Antigüedad? ¿Cómo ha sido el camino hacia la precisión de medida actual desde los primeros calendarios? ¿Cómo afecta el paso del tiempo a nuestra biología y cómo nuestro cuerpo es capaz de medirlo?
