Il volume consente ai biologi di avvicinarsi al mondo della cristallografia, della mineralogia e della cristallochimica con efficacia e semplicita. Il testo fornisce le informazioni di base sulle caratteristiche dello stato cristallino e dei principali minerali, in particolare silicatici. Nello specifico vengono descritte due tecniche utilizzate per identificare le fasi cristalline: la spettroscopia micro-Raman, una tecnica estremamente semplice da un punto di vista sperimentale, e la microscopia elettronica a scansione con annessa microsonda chimica SEM/EDS, che ha la peculiarita di ottenere immagini ad altissimi ingrandimenti e spettri relativi alla composizione chimica dei campioni in esame. Particolare attenzione e rivolta allapplicazione di queste tecniche su sezioni istologiche per lindividuazione e la caratterizzazione degli amianti, minerali che costituiscono un considerevole rischio per la salute umana.

We have lived in a world that had, until the arrival in 2020 of the coronavirus Covid-19, not suffered a serious pandemic for a century, and society had almost forgotten the enormous impact created by highly infectious diseases. Infectious diseases, however, played major roles in ending the Golden Age of Athens, wrecked Justinians plans to restore the Roman Empire to its former glory, and killed untold millions in Latin America after the Spanish invasion. Armies of Pestilence explores the impact of these diseases on history. Despite their importance, historians have tended to minimise the role of infectious disease - partly because of a lack of scientific knowledge, and this has resulted in a distorted view both of the past and of the danger of disease to modern society. In Armies of Pestilence, R.S. Bray, a distinguished biologist who here shows himself also to be an able historian, corrects this view. The book surveys the principal epidemics around the world and across the centuries, in each case discussing the origins of the outbreaks, the symptoms, the mortality rate and the social and economic effect. Where particular diseases cannot be identified with certainty the best scholarly opinions are discussed. Bray pays special attention to the infamous Yersina pestis, the organism that caused the Black Death. Other diseases discussed include malaria, smallpox, typhus, cholera and influenza, and AIDS. One of the themes of the book is the relationship between disease and war, with the former often causing more deaths than the latter, as was the case with the great influenza pandemic of 1918-19, at the end of the First World War. The inability of governments to deal effectively with disease is also made clear.

A few lines will suffice to explain why we have compiled the present volume, to what wants it responds, and what its sphere of usefulness may possibly embrace.In our teaching of plastic anatomy, especially at the Ecole des Beaux-Artswhere, for the past nine years, we have had the very great honour of supplementing the teaching of our distinguished master, Mathias Duval, after having been prosector for his course of lectures since 1881it is our practice to give, as a complement to the study of human anatomy, a certain number of lessons on the anatomy of those animals which artists might be called on to represent.Now, we were given to understand that the subject treated in our lectures interested our hearers, so much so that we were not surprised to learn that a certain number repeatedly expressed a desire to see these lectures united in book form.Edouard CuyerGENERALITIES OF COMPARATIVE ANATOMYOf the animals by which we are surrounded, there are some which, occupying a place in our lives by reason of their natural endowments, are frequently represented in the works of artistseither as accompanying man in his work or in his amusements, or as intended to occupy the whole interest of the composition.The necessity of knowing, from an artistic point of view, the structure of the human body makes clear the importance we attach, from the same point of view, to the study of the anatomy of animalsthat is, the study of comparative anatomy. The name employed to designate this branch of anatomy shows that the object of this science is the study of the relative position and form which each region presents in all organized beings, taking for comparison the corresponding regions in man. The head in animals compared with the human head; the trunk and limbs compared to the trunk and limbs of the human beingthis is the analysis we undertake, and the plan of the subject we are about to commence.Our intention being, as we have just said, the comparison of the structure of animals with that of man, should we describe the anatomy of the human being in the pages which follow? We do not think so. Plastic human anatomy having been previously studied in special works, we take it for granted that these have been studied before undertaking the subject of comparative anatomy. We will therefore not occupy time with the elementary facts relative to the skeleton and the superficial layer of muscles. We will not dilate on the division of the bones into long, short, large, single, paired, etc. All these preliminary elements we shall suppose to have been already studied.This being granted, it is, nevertheless, necessary to take a rapid birds-eye view of organized beings, and to recall the terms used in their classification.Animals are primarily classed in great divisions, based on the general characters which differentiate them most. These divisions, or branches, allow of their being so grouped that in each of them we find united the individuals whose general structure is uniform; and under the name of vertebrates are included man and the animals with which our studies will be occupied. The vertebrates, as the name indicates, are recognised by the presence of an interior skeleton formed by a central axis, the vertebral column, round which the other parts of the skeleton are arranged.The vertebrate branch is divided into classes: fishes, amphibians or batrachians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

Em 2023, quando se comemoram os 150 anos do nascimento de Santos Dumont, Asas da loucura nos convida a conhecer a vida e as criaçes de um dos maiores inventores brasileiros de todos os tempos. Alberto Santos Dumont foi imortalizado no imaginario brasileiro, tendo sido homenageado em poemas, cançes, estatuas, bustos, pinturas, biografias e comemoraçes em sua memoria. A fama e o carisma o tornaram, durante um determinado periodo, o homem mais celebre do mundo. Apesar disso, Santos Dumont foi tambem um homem timido e calado, um genio atormentado pelo peso de sua criaço, o que culminou em seu tragico fim. Asas da loucura traz as glorias e as sombras de sua historia.Santos Dumont tinha 18 anos quando chegou a Paris, na virada do seculo XX. O brasileiro, nascido em Minas Gerais e criado nas fazendas de cafe da familia, era apaixonado por dirigiveis e bales, que conhecera nos romances de Julio Verne, e pelos avanços tecnologicos que encontrou na cidade francesa. Ele desenvolveu e construiu aeronaves motivado pelo sonho de um dia cada individuo ter seu proprio avio, como ja acontecia com os automoveis, o que aproximaria as pessoas e reduziria as distancias. Ao vencer uma competiço para construir o primeiro avio, a imprensa francesa celebrou Santos Dumont como um "conquistador do ar". A historia mundial, no entanto, acabaria consagrando os irmos norte-americanos Orville e Wilbur Wright como os pioneiros na aviaço ainda que seus objetivos tenham sido muito menos nobres que o idealismo do brasileiro.Com sua fe no futuro da tecnologia, Santos Dumont no previu o poder destrutivo de suas maquinas e testemunhou com grande desgosto a capacidade de destruiço dos avies durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial. A consagraço dos irmos Wright foi outro motivo de contrariedade. Os disturbios psicologicos e as circunstancias de sua morte precoce so revelados integralmente neste livro.No aniversario de 150 anos do nascimento de Santos Dumont, a Editora Record traz de volta Asas da loucura, a biografia deste extraordinario pioneiro, personagem brilhante na historia da aviaço. Com uma narrativa arrebatadora, o premiado jornalista americano Paul Hoffman conta a memoravel vida do aviador brasileiro, que contribuiu de forma decisiva para a modernidade e simbolizou o espirito torturado do seculo XX.

En Así es la biología, Ernst Mayr, el biólogo evolucionista más importante del siglo XX, reunió sus 90 años de conocimiento de la disciplina y de experiencia docente, para hacer del recorrido de la evolucion una apasionante historia de descubrimientos.Un clasico cientifico imprescindible.Ernst Mayr fue uno de los biologos mas importantes del siglo XX. En esta obra fundamental, se plantea varias preguntas clave: ¿cual es el significado real y profundo de la vida? ¿Como evolucionan y se desarrollan los organismos? ¿Como encaja el hombre en el complejo proceso de la evolucion?Toda persona deberia tener presente, a la hora de reflexionar sobre el mundo y los seres vivos, los conceptos basicos de la biologia moderna: evolucion, biopersidad, competicion, extincion, adaptacion, seleccion natural, reproduccion, etc. Estas ideas basicas, que deberian formar parte del conocimiento comun de la humanidad, son unas herramientas imprescindibles para comprender el mundo y poder interpretarlo.Conocerse a si mismo (la esencia biologica) y conocer nuestro lugar en la cadena del mundo conlleva, ante todo, comprender nuestro origen biologico. Solo este conocimiento puede ayudarnos a abordar los grandes problemas morales y politicos a los que nos enfrentamos en el siglo XXI. Algunas de las tradiciones eticas de Occidente han quedado obsoletas para definir una nueva concepcion general del mundo debido a su rigidez y al brusco cambio operado en las condiciones de vida desde que se formularon en la antiguedad. Gracias al progreso del conocimiento cientifico, como expone magistralmente este libro, el paradigma ha cambiado.Reseñas: Ernst Mayr es el mas prestigioso biologo evolutivo de las ultimas siete decadas, o el Darwin del siglo XX, segun un apodo extendido entre sus colegas de la Universidad de Harvard. Javier Sampedro, El PaisUn libro maravilloso, un ensayo acerca de como los biologos estudian a los seres vivos en la gran escala de los organismos y sus familias. Un libro a la antigua, para leer despacio, varias veces, y pensar sobre lo que dice tiempo despues. ¿No es eso para lo que sirven los libros, para que la gente pueda, a su manera, reflexionar sobre la bien merecida sabiduria de un anciano sabio?. Ann Finkbeiner, New York Times Book ReviewUn libro agil y breve en el que uno de los grandes maestros de la biologia del siglo XX resume la sabiduria personal acumulada durante setenta años de investigacion y reflexion. Edward O. WilsonErnst Mayr, el biologo evolucionista mas importante del mundo y un autor de excepcional claridad y agudeza nos ofrece, a sus noventa años, un resumen de toda una carrera empleada en estudiar sus temas favoritos.

Los astrónomos crearon de la nada la inexistente materia oscura y la energía oscura que según ellos ocupan el 95 % del cosmos; por ser magnitudes imaginarias obviamente no se pueden ver, registrar o percibir por metodo alguno. Sin embargo, nos piden que tengamos fe en que estas fuerzas existen, todo para no contradecir las teorias de Albert Einstein, estancando asi la ciencia, al punto de que a la fecha, 2019, no pueden explicar de manera certera la formacion y la esencia de los agujeros negros supermasivos, los agujeros negros estelares, los pulsares, los cuasares, las magnetoestrellas, las estrellas de neutrones, las galaxias, etc.En este libro plantearemos nuevas teorias que resuelven todos estos interrogantes. Contemple aquello que los cientificos no pueden ver a traves de sus gigantes telescopios.

La vida puede obligarte a cambiar de rol. De médico a paciente, por ejemplo. De fuerte a vulnerable. De observar desde la perspectiva profesional a privilegiar los sentimientos.Es lo que vivió Jaime Garcia Sandoval, medico cirujano acostumbrado a salvar vidas, quien enfrento en carne propia a la realidad del covid-19.Su testimonio honesto y profundo esta inmerso en el dolor y la conciencia de la propia fragilidad; pero tambien es una prueba de fe y resiliencia. Ni el conocimiento medico ni los años de practica te preparan para enfrentarte cara a cara con la fragilidad de la vida.

The astrolabe often quoted as "the earliest computer" is a mechanical instrument capable of performing astronomical computations. This study offers a new interpretation of its role in the Latin culture of the High Middle Ages, highlighting its epistemological significance. For Latin scholars around the year 1000, the astrolabe became the earliest, non-verbal channel to access and assimilate mathematical knowledge from the Arabic culture, and could be seen as representing a divine architectonical rationality which humans could share in the mathematical experience. The novel methodology of this work combines the results of historical and philological analyses of manuscripts and material sources with the most recent insights on different kinds of mathematical thinking. Focussing on drawings and text fragments, with a new, detailed analysis of ms. Paris BnF 7412 (11th c.), the study reconstructs the Latin high medieval mathematical experience, its non-verbal modes of communication and its relationship with both practice and philosophy.
