Hemos complicado demasiado el estudio del Pasado, dando mayor importancia a puntos de vista, intereses nacionalistas, religiosos y morales, que colocan el hecho histórico en segundo lugar, subordinado al interes del sistema que pretende educarnos. Llego la hora de simplificar y demostrar respeto hacia nuestros ancestrales, esforzandonos en conocer lo que realmente sucedio en el pasado, y no apenas aquello que el sistema pretende informarnos. Despues de tantos años estudiando Historia, llegue a la conclusion de que la mejor forma de conocer el pasado es a traves de una Cronologia imparcial, objetiva, que se limite a colocar cada acontecimiento en su exacto lugar en el tiempo, revelando la Historia sin manipulaciones ni medias verdades. Esta Cronologia constituye un completo material de consulta, no apenas con hechos puramente politicos, como fundacion de ciudades, nacimiento de reinos e imperios, descubrimientos cientificos y geograficos, desastres naturales y epidemias, sino tambien conteniendo informaciones sobre los mas diferentes campos de la actividad humana: quimica, astronomia, geografia, matematicas, etc. De forma paralela, la obra es complementada por datos que no pertenecen a una fecha determinada, sino a toda una epoca, son generalidades de cada sociedad, curiosidades, costumbres, la religion de cada civilizacion, inventos sin fecha exacta, etc. El resultado de todo este conjunto es una de las mas completas cronologias existentes, periodicamente actualizada con los ultimos descubrimientos arqueologicos y cientificos. Una obra de esta magnitud no podria ser publicada en un unico libro, por eso la he dividido en varias colecciones, y los originales en español estan siendo traducidos para frances, ingles, aleman, italiano y portugues. La cronologia transcurre año a año, dentro de lo posible, desde la prehistoria hasta la actualidad. Para aquellos que prefieren un estudio mas profundo y detallado, he preparado una segunda cronologia, dia a dia, que abarca desde 1789 hasta 1946, dividida en cuatro colecciones.

Dazzling photographs and images from space of our planets nightlights have captivated public attention for decades. In such images, patterns are immediately seen based on the presence or absence of light: a distinct coastline, bodies of water recognizable by their dark silhouettes, and the faint tendrils of roads and highways emanating from the brilliant blobs of light that are our modern, well-lit cities. For nearly 25 years, satellite images of Earth at night have served as a fundamental research tool, while also stoking public curiosity. These images paint an expansive and revealing picture, showing how humans have illuminated and shaped the planet in profound ways since the invention of the light bulb 140 years ago.

In "Earthquakes and Other Earth Movements," John Milne presents a comprehensive exploration of seismic phenomena, blending meticulous scientific analysis with a compelling narrative style. Milne, often hailed as the father of modern seismology, delves into not only the mechanics of earthquakes but also their geological implications and effects on human society. The book is characterized by its meticulous attention to empirical data, interspersed with illuminating anecdotes that contextualize the scientific content within the broader framework of 19th-century understanding of earth sciences, laying the groundwork for future research in seismology. John Milnes profound knowledge stemmed from his extensive studies in geology, engineering, and the evolving field of seismology during a period of rapid scientific advancement. His personal experiences of living through multiple earthquakes fueled his desire to understand the underlying causes and propose a systematic approach to monitoring and mitigating their impacts. This unique blend of personal and professional motivations informs the depth and breadth of his work, positioning him as a pivotal figure in the advancement of seismological methodology and research. For readers interested in the intersection of natural phenomena and human experience, Milnes work remains essential. Its insights not only deepen our understanding of earthquakes but also foster a greater appreciation for the dynamic processes that shape our planet. This book is invaluable for researchers, students, and anyone with a curiosity about the forces of nature that continue to influence human history.

In "Earthquakes and Other Earth Movements," John Milne presents a comprehensive exploration of seismic activity through a scientific lens that marries rigorous empirical research with accessible literary style. Deftly navigating both the technicalities of geological phenomena and the human experiences affected by earthquakes, Milne employs clear, precise language to demystify complex concepts. This work situates itself within the broader context of late 19th-century scientific inquiry, particularly the field of seismology, which was undergoing transformative advancements in understanding the earthAos dynamic processes. John Milne, often dubbed the father of modern seismology, was influenced by his extensive fieldwork in earthquake-prone regions, as well as by the growing body of research about plate tectonics. His contributions to the establishment of seismic networks reflect his commitment to advancing both public awareness and academic knowledge about natural disasters. MilneAos background in engineering and physics uniquely positioned him to address the implications of seismic activity for society, making him an authoritative voice in the discourse surrounding natural catastrophes.

Tendemos a pensar que las únicas revoluciones científicas auténticas del siglo XX fueron aquellas que surgieron de la física y la biología molecular. Sin embargo, también las ciencias de la Tierra experimentaron lo que podemos denominar un cambio revolucionario: el paso que va de creer que los continentes se formaron y desarrollaron en lugares fijos, a aceptar la idea de que hubo una epoca en que el mundo terrestre estaba practicamente aglutinado en un gran supercontinente, Pangea, del que posteriormente y mediante un lento mecanismo de fractura y deriva, terminaron surgiendo los continentes tal y como los conocemos en la actualidad. Fue el geofisico, meteorologo y explorador aleman Alfred Lothard Wegener (1880-1930) quien nos mostro, con mucha mas claridad y fuerza que otros predecesores suyos, la faceta cambiante de la geografia de la Tierra. El lugar en el que presento de manera mas completa y accesible sus ideas es un libro que con justicia se puede incluir en el grupo de los clasicos de la ciencia: El origen de los continentes y oceanos (1915).
