Now in his 95th year, James Lovelock has been hailed as "the man who conceived the first wholly new way of looking at life on earth since Charles Darwin? (Independent) and "the most profound scientific thinker of our time? (Literary Review). AA Rough Ride to the Future introduces two new Lovelockian ideas. The first is that three hundred years ago, when Thomas Newcomen invented the steam engine, he was unknowingly beginning what Lovelock calls "accelerated evolution,? a process that is bringing about change on our planet roughly a million times faster than Darwinian evolution. The second is that as part of this process, humanity has the capacity to become the intelligent part of Gaia, the self-regulating earth system whose discovery Lovelock first announced nearly fifty years ago. AA Rough Ride to the Future is also an intellectual autobiography, in which Lovelock reflects on his life as a lone scientist, and askseloquentlywhether his career trajectory is possible in an age of increased bureaucratization. AWe are now changing the atmosphere again, and Lovelock argues that there is little that can be done about this. But instead of feeling guilty, we should recognize what is happening, prepare for change, and ensure that we survive as a species so we can contribute toperhaps even guidethe next evolution of Gaia. The road will be rough, but if we are smart enough, life will continue on earth in some form far into the future.

Este libro es especialmente necesario en este 2021 raro en el que la pandemia y el consiguiente confinamiento nos han obligado a todos y todas a encerrarnos en nuestras casas impidiéndonos, no ya solo conocer a nadie en carne y hueso, sino incluso mantener algun tipo de contacto tactil. Sin embargo, ese contacto humano, esa necesidad de amar, de sentir algo, de emocionarnos, de desear y de que nos deseen; ese aburrimiento que se nos apodera cuando nuestro corazon esta impasible; esa soledad que se apodera del alma sobre todo por las noches todas esas emociones a veces desoladoras nos empujan a buscar remedio a traves de las pantallas que tenemos tan a mano. Y lo mismo le mandamos mensajitos a toda la red de examantes del pasado para tantear, que nos creamos un perfil en Adoptauntio.com o en Tinder o Grindr para ver que se ofrecen los demas usuarios que se sienten igual de aislados y solos, pero con ganas de animarse un poco emocional y sexualmente. ¿Que ocurre? Que en muchos casos vamos con tanta necesidad, tantas ganas, tantas expectativas, tan vendidos y vendidas por miedo a quedarnos solos, que caemos en las garras de personas que solo querian entretenerse, jugar, divertirse, pasar el rato como si fueramos un videojuego y los sentimientos fueran algo virtual. Personas que son capaces de saltar de unas victimas en otras y huir en cuanto se plantea la posibilidad de una relacion de verdad. Vamos a profundizar en ello para ir bien pertrechados y protegidas ante esta nueva forma de relacionarse que tantas heridas puede dejar. Un libro imprescindible para encontrar a esa persona especial en el oceano de las ciber-relaciones. Edicion actualizada y ampliada.

Geoffrey Chaucer, born in London most likely around 1340, was an English poet, author, philosopher, scientist, diplomat and politician. He has been called the father of English literature, or, alternatively, the father of English poetry, but he should be considered, in a broader sense, for the breadth of his interests and the richness of his works, the father of English Humanism.He is seen as crucial in legitimising the literary use of Middle English when the dominant literary languages in England were still Anglo-Norman French and Latin.Parallel to his activity as a prolific writer, he maintained a career in the civil service as a bureaucrat, courtier, diplomat, comptroller of the customs for the port of London and member of parliament.Chaucers Treatise on the Astrolabe, addressed in 1391 to his ten old son Lowys, is considered the oldest work in English written upon an elaborate scientific instrument or the first example of technical writing in the English language. It describes the form and use of the astrolabe in detail and it indicates that Chaucer was versed in science in addition to his literary and philosophical talents.With a preface by Boris Yousef.

Anton Abadia (1810-1897) geografoa, astronomoa, hizkuntzalaria, etnografoa eta beste hainbat alorretako aditua izan zen. Egia esan, Abadiak hain zuen jakin-min handia ezen diziplina gutxi egin zitzaion arrotz. Izan ere, usadio zaharreko jakintsua izan zen. Urrutikoa interesatu zitzaion, eta Niloko iturburuak aurkitzea izan zuen bizitzaren ardatz, baina hurbilekoa inolaz ere ahaztu gabe; horren lekuko da euskara sustatzeko egin zuen funtsezko lana. Denboraren poderioz, haren lorpen zientifikoek distira galdu dute, baina haren biografia harrigarria da, Hendaian eraikiarazi zuen jauregia bezain harrigarria. Egun ere hor dago jauregia, Kantauri itsasoari ez ezik, zeruari ere begira. Iñigo Sagarzazuk asmatu du jakintsua bere garaian aurkezten, eta, gainera, oso modu erakargarrian.
