Book Description
El presente libro parte de una idea feliz: considerar el cerebro y el universo como dos entidades parecidas, aunque a distinta escala. Mediante este enfoque, alejado de todo paralelismo superficial, David Jou revela similitudes profundas y sorprendentes: la inmensidad cósmica es condición necesaria para la existencia del cerebro; el procesamiento de la información en el cosmos y en la mente humana sigue pautas afines; en los dos ámbitos resultan fundamentales los llamados «componentes oscuros» (la glía para la computación neuronal y el universo invisible sobre la materia visible); la física cuántica parece desempeñar un papel sutil tanto en las galaxias como en las sinapsis cerebrales. Contemplar el universo como un inmenso ordenador nos lleva a preguntas cruciales sobre su «programa» y su «memoria»: ¿es de tipo matemático o tiene una lógica más amplia? ¿Conserva la memoria del cosmos rastro de nosotros, o desaparecemos de ella como se desvanecen los recuerdos en el cerebro? ¿Podrá seguir realizando cálculos eternamente un universo cada vez más diluido y frío? Del mismo modo, ver el cerebro como un universo subraya su vertiginosa complejidad, su dinamismo fascinante y su portentosa capacidad de abrirse a lo cósmico en busca de respuestas sobre el origen y el sentido de las cosas. Autor: David Jou Mirabent (Sitges, Barcelona, 1953) es catedrático de física en la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona y ha desarrollado una extensa obra de investigación en termodinámica de procesos irreversibles, con cinco libros y más de doscientos artículos publicados en editoriales y revistas de difusión internacional. Ha obtenido, entre otros, el premio Rey Juan Carlos I (1986), la medalla Narcís Monturiol (1991) y el premio Ciutat de Barcelona (1993). Su último libro es Reescribiendo el Génesis. De la gloria de Dios al sabotaje del universo (2008). Tiene una prestigiosa trayectoria como poeta en lengua catalana.

Book Description
My Name is Universe is a book of interviews with internationally renowned personalities through which some of the layers of knowledge included in the Periodic Table are revealed, recreated by Eugenia Balcells in the mural Homage to the Elements. Who would have thought that a work of art based on a scientific idea could explode like a veritable intellectual Big Bang and take us on a thrilling journey from atoms to galaxies through music, philosophy, art, cinema, chemistry, poetry, theater, dance, astrophysics, education, architecture, painting, quantum physics, religion or mathematics? My Name is Universe is a book in which science, the arts and the humanities are intertwined, appealing to the transversality and unity of knowledge. A text that cultivates an attitude of wonder at the world around us, the engine of artistic and scientific creation, and that stimulates the reader’s curiosity and creativity.

Book Description
Discover the many facets of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The first part of this book describes the current thermodynamic formalism recognized as the classical theory. The second part focuses on different approaches. Throughout the presentation, the emphasis is on problem-solving applications. To help build your understanding, some problems have been analyzed using several formalisms to underscore their differences and their similarities.

Book Description
A Deleuzian reading of Whitehead and a Whiteheadian reading of Deleuze open the possibility of a critical aesthetics of contemporary culture. In Without Criteria, Steven Shaviro proposes and explores a philosophical fantasy: imagine a world in which Alfred North Whitehead takes the place of Martin Heidegger. What if Whitehead, instead of Heidegger, had set the agenda for postmodern thought? Heidegger asks, “Why is there something, rather than nothing?” Whitehead asks, “How is it that there is always something new?” In a world where everything from popular music to DNA is being sampled and recombined, argues Shaviro, Whitehead's question is the truly urgent one. Without Criteria is Shaviro's experiment in rethinking postmodern theory, especially the theory of aesthetics, from a point of view that hearkens back to Whitehead rather than Heidegger. In working through the ideas of Whitehead and Deleuze, Shaviro also appeals to Kant, arguing that certain aspects of Kant's thought pave the way for the philosophical “constructivism” embraced by both Whitehead and Deleuze. Kant, Whitehead, and Deleuze are not commonly grouped together, but the juxtaposition of them in Without Criteria helps to shed light on a variety of issues that are of concern to contemporary art and media practices.

Book Description
Because the original was so popular, the geniuses behind Project ASTRO have created an additional volume of activities. These 25 activities explore and explain mysteries of the universe: the moon's phases, the reasons for the seasons, comets and meteors, stars, and space exploration. Also designed in loose-leaf format, More Universe... is a great supplement to the original, or a perfect sampler if you want to start small.

Book Description
Presents basic concepts in physics, covering topics such as kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, gravitation, fluids, sound, heat, thermodynamics, magnetism, nuclear physics, and more, examples, practice questions and problems.

Book Description
“Takes readers on illuminating scientific adventure, beginning sixty-six million years ago, that connects dinosaurs, comets, DNA, and the future of the planet.” —Huffington Post In this brilliant exploration of our cosmic environment, the renowned particle physicist and New York Times–bestselling author of Warped Passages and Knocking on Heaven’s Door uses her research into dark matter to illuminate the startling connections between the furthest reaches of space and life here on Earth. Sixty-six million years ago, an object the size of a city descended from space to crash into Earth, creating a devastating cataclysm that killed off the dinosaurs, along with three-quarters of the other species on the planet. What was its origin? In Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, Lisa Randall proposes it was a comet that was dislodged from its orbit as the Solar System passed through a disk of dark matter embedded in the Milky Way. In a sense, it might have been dark matter that killed the dinosaurs. Working through the background and consequences of this proposal, Randall shares with us the latest findings—established and speculative—regarding the nature and role of dark matter and the origin of the Universe, our galaxy, our Solar System, and life, along with the process by which scientists explore new concepts. In Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, Randall tells a breathtaking story that weaves together the cosmos’ history and our own, illuminating the deep relationships that are critical to our world and the astonishing beauty inherent in the most familiar things. “Randall has woven a beautiful account of how life on Earth is intimately connected to the cosmos.” —The Daily Telegraph (UK)

Book Description
Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.
