Book Description
El descubrimiento de las ondas gravitatorias —el peculiar sonido de dos agujeros negros que chocan y se funden uno con otro— cambiará nuestra manera de imaginar el universo: a partir de ahora escucharemos su banda sonora. ¿Qué significa este hallazgo histórico, y cómo hemos llegado hasta él? Este es el relato de una fascinante odisea que comenzó hace más de cien años con un joven llamado Albert Einstein. Roberto Emparán, uno de nuestros físicos más reconocidos internacionalmente en el campo de la gravedad, los agujeros negros y la teoría de supercuerdas, ha compuesto una historia de ciencia en acción, que nos invita a recorrer en compañía de sus protagonistas, con sus defectos y sus emociones, en la búsqueda de respuestas a preguntas fundamentales. Una guía de viaje accesible, estimulante y fiable hacia las sorprendentes ideas sobre el tiempo y el espacio que hace un siglo se imaginaron y hoy por fin hemos conseguido demostrar. Preparémonos para iluminar el lado oscuro del universo y disfrutar así de la extraordinaria música de la oscuridad cósmica.

Book Description
The classic conception of human transcendental consciousness assumes its self-supporting existential status within the horizon of life-world, nature and earth. Yet this assumed absoluteness does not entail the nature of its powers, neither their constitutive force. This latter call for an existential source reaching beyond the generative life-world network. Transcendental consciousness, having lost its absolute status (its point of reference) it is the role of the logos to lay down the harmonious positioning in the cosmic sphere of the all, establishing an original foundation of phenomenology in the primogenital ontopoiesis of life. ​

Book Description
No student or colleague of Marjorie Grene will miss her incisive presence in these papers on the study and nature of living nature, and we believe the new reader will quickly join the stimulating discussion and critique which Professor Grene steadily provokes. For years she has worked with equally sure knowledge in the classical domain of philosophy and in modern epistemological inquiry, equally philosopher of science and metaphysician. Moreover, she has the deeply sensible notion that she should be a critically intelligent learner as much as an imaginatively original thinker, and as a result she has brought insightful expository readings of other philosophers and scientists to her own work. We were most fortunate that Marjorie Grene was willing to spend a full semester of a recent leave here in Boston, and we have on other occasions sought her participation in our colloquia and elsewhere. Now we have the pleasure of including among the Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science this generous selection from Grene's philosophical inquiries into the understanding of the natural world, and of the men and women in it. Boston University Center for the R. S. COHEN Philosophy and History of Science M. W.

Book Description
WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE A Frozen Woman charts Ernaux's teenage awakening, and then the parallel progression of her desire to be desirable and her ambition to fulfill herself in her chosen profession - with the inevitable conflict between the two. And then she is 30 years old, a teacher married to an executive, mother of two infant sons. She looks after their nice apartment, raises her children. And yet, like millions of other women, she has felt her enthusiasm and curiosity, her strength and her happiness, slowly ebb under the weight of her daily routine. The very condition that everyone around her seems to consider normal and admirable for a woman is killing her. While each of Ernaux's books contain an autobiographical element, A Frozen Woman, one of Ernaux's early works, concentrates the spotlight piercingly on Annie herself. Mixing affection, rage and bitterness, A Frozen Woman shows us Ernaux's developing art when she still relied on traditional narrative, before the shortened form emerged that has since become her trademark.

Book Description
El 11 de febrero de 2016, el anuncio de un descubrimiento sacudió el mundo y fue tapa de los principales diarios: por primera vez se habían detectado ondas gravitacionales. ¡Sí! Esas que un siglo antes había predicho Albert Einstein en su teoría de la relatividad. La física argentina Gabriela González era entonces la líder y vocera de la colaboración científica LIGO, y las autoras y los autores de este libro fueron parte de ese descubrimiento y estuvieron presentes en la ceremonia. Este libro cuenta en boca de sus protagonistas el arduo camino hacia esa primera detección. Y muy largo, porque esta historia comenzó hace unos mil trescientos millones de años, cuando dos agujeros negros que bailaban juntos en el espacio-tiempo se fusionaron en un abrazo y formaron uno. Y continuó con Galileo, cuando unos cuatrocientos años atrás miró el cielo con un telescopio; y luego con Einstein, cuando publicó que su teoría del espacio-tiempo predecía ondas gravitacionales; y en la década del setenta, cuando se empezaron a imaginar y construir los instrumentos para medirlas. Una nueva manera de hacer astronomía reveló que no solo recibimos luz desde las estrellas, también sonidos. A las imágenes que nos proporcionan los telescopios se les sumó otra dimensión sensorial, como cuando al cine mudo se le agregó la banda sonora. ¡Ahora podemos escuchar la música del universo! Y esa música no solo nos trae el sonido de colisiones de agujeros negros y estrellas de neutrones en galaxias lejanas, esa música nos habla de la creatividad humana, del trabajo en colaboración, de evidencias que confirman teorías elaboradas cien años atrás, de nuevas teorías y sus aplicaciones, de tecnologías que mejorarán nuestras vidas. Este descubrimiento corrió las fronteras de lo que conocíamos sobre el universo. Escuchemos juntos el largo viaje de la ciencia.
