Title : Conversations on the Invisible - Jean Audouze - book Summary : For more than two years, at the Institute of Astrophysics, two scientists hosted a man of letters and entertainment. They spoke of the "invisible" that surrounds us and constitutes us, from distant galaxies to the secrets of our atoms. They set themselves two simple rules. The first was, for the two scientists, to say nothing that the third could not understand. The second assumed a freedom of tone that allowed for digression, reverie, and a smile. This three-way conversation offers a manifesto of mutual curiosity: that of the artist for the scientist, that of the scientist for the artist. It speaks clearly of obscurity and knowingly of ignorance. It is an outstretched hand and a proposal for adventure. EAN: 9782266112697 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Martial Rieupeyroux - Schoolmaster - Daniel Borzeix - book Summary : Born in 1894 in the impoverished highlands of the Massif Central, young Martial divided his time between the local school and his parents' farm. A lively, persevering child, he learned quickly and, thanks to the support of his godfather, a miller with progressive ideas, he passed the entrance exam to the École Normale, "glory of the Republic and the Department." Thus, he prepared to join the elite of the Nation, the one which, carried by "a secular faith," promised to ensure the education of future generations... But the war of 1914 broke out. Far from learning arithmetic, spelling, and morality, Martial was called to the front where he experienced the horror of the trenches, vowing to fight so that this war would be the last. In vain! Having rejoined his beloved children, the schoolmaster saw the arrival of the Second World War two decades later. EAN: 9782848861180 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Goya's Ghosts - Jean-Claude Carriere Milos Forman - book Summary : Set against the backdrop of the decline of the Inquisition and the strong resonance of the French Revolution, this story contrasts two visions of the world: that of an extremist who wants to change the world, Lorenzo, and that of a painter, Goya, who seeks to paint the world as it is. A man from the people, a Spaniard named Lorenzo, who became an inquisitor by conviction, fails in his mission, in a rather grotesque way. He flees to France, later he returns. He has changed his faith, his ideas are new, but he is still the same man: an extremist. In a turbulent era (Spain at the time of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars), Lorenzo will try to act, to make the world a better place, and this under the eyes of Goya, who sees nothing. There are those who, like Lorenzo, want to change the world at all costs and those who, like Goya, are content to show it as they see it. A story of misguidance, of divine and human passions, of love, of power, of illusions, which says that there can be an extremism of freedom, as well as of oppression, and that light can blind just as much as darkness.

Title : The Hourglass Effect - Jean-Marc Vittori - book Summary : In the past, society resembled a pyramid, in which all the intermediate levels constituted the middle classes. Today, some are propelled upwards. Others descend. The pyramid is succeeded by an hourglass. The middle classes are afraid. They are right, because they are disappearing. Beyond the theme of "eternal decline," the author analyzes the deep forces at work, likely to explain this "end of the middle": the role of the computer and the Internet, the destruction of the pyramid model in the organization of businesses, in their production, in our consumption and then in society as a whole, including the political world. If the mechanism of the crushing of the middle classes is inevitable, the future is not written for all that: it is therefore without pessimism that Jean-Marc Vittori invites everyone to invent the new priorities imposed by his diagnosis.

Title : The Dream Life of Math - David Berlinski - book Summary : Under Berlinski's pen, differential calculus becomes - something that all the world's pedagogues have always tried to hide - an extraordinary novel, a picaresque story full of unforgettable figures. After reading this, will one be able to meet one's tax inspector without wondering if he looks like Newton? Or not look for Leibniz when entering a beer bar? And the author tells all this without "chickening out" for a single second, violating all the rules of popularization [...]. Limits? Yes, we'll talk about limits; derivatives? Yes, there will be derivatives! Integrals? Also! Theorems? Obviously! And cuts, that horrible thing from Dedekind, not really??? But yes, absolutely!!! Undeniably, we have here a book of a new type, which demonstrates that we can reconcile two very distinct literatures: the "scientific" one, with its asceticism, its priority to content, its demands for rigor, what do I know, everything that usually disgusts readers; and the "great" one, where an author/creator puts characters on stage, tells a story, makes people think, dream, react, laugh...

Title : Thermonuclear Energy - Claude Etiévant - book Summary : A What Do I Know that allows us to take stock of the multiple resources offered by thermonuclear energy and which, nowadays, and in view of the environmental concerns that concern us all, offers an interesting reflection on energy alternatives. Excerpt from the preface: "The conquest of thermonuclear energy is one of the great scientific adventures of our time. Only the H-bomb has so far demonstrated its power, in the form of a monstrous agent of death. But if man knows how to resist reusing it for purposes of destruction, and if he succeeds in domesticating it, it will ensure the needs of his life for a practically unlimited future. The water of the oceans would then provide him with an inexhaustible fuel and coal could be reserved for the multiple uses of chemistry."

Title : Before the Big Bang - Igor Bogdanov, Grichka Bogdanov - book Summary : What happened "before the Big Bang"? Was there a "zero moment" marking the beginning of time and space? How was the universe created? Since the beginning of the 20th century, theorists - from Planck to Einstein and Hawking - have been endlessly refining these questions and their possible answers. It is this great novel of the absolute origin that Igor and Grichka Bogdanov have undertaken to explore in turn, in this scholarly and calmly educational book. For the first time, they even outline, based on the most recent discoveries and based on original research, a hypothesis destined to have a great impact: was the universe before the Big Bang - already? - a complex network of information? And could there not be, at the origin of this universe, a "cosmological code" just as there is, for living things, a genetic code?
