Al producirse la crisis de la monarquía española de 1808, Estados Unidos de América era un antecedente exitoso pero excepcional. Es en tal contexto que debe situarse la experiencia revolucionaria neogranadina. De otra forma, se corre el riesgo de olvidar su caracter vanguardista o de concebir como imitacion lo que en realidad fue una participacion original y muy importante en un debate algido en torno a la reforma del gobierno de las sociedades humanas. La correspondencia y escritos de Joaquin Camacho y Lago que componen este libro muestran la dificultad de la materia y dan muchas luces sobre las referencias librescas e historicas con que contaban los lideres del Nuevo Reino de Granada para dar forma a la Republica.

Miradas a la plástica colombiana de 1900 a 1950: un debate histórico y estético hace referencia a los valores culturales que desde los distintos momentos de producción durante cincuenta años de historia artistica se generaron; a sus distintas trayectorias y, por ende, miradas con el paso del tiempo suscitadas por la critica y la historia del arte. Miradas, interpretaciones y resignificaciones contradictorias que continuan hasta el presente sin agotar las imagenes, los colores y formas cuyas polifonias se implican con los cambios historicos y culturales del pais. Tanto un Fidolo Alfonso Gonzalez Camargo, un Ricardo Gomez Campuzano como un Luis Alberto Acuña y una Debora Arango, entre algunos de los artistas estudiados, seguiran sorprendiendo y generando debates con sus obras en los actuales y futuros estudios e investigaciones de la historia cultural y del arte en Colombia.

Este libro describe y documenta hechos sobresalientes de la historia general de la ciencia en México a partir de 1912; en especial aquellos que ilustran mejor las tres grandes transformaciones ocurridas en ese lapso en la ciencia mexicana: primero su profesionalizacion, crecimiento y diversificacion, luego su ingreso al discurso oficial y a las decisiones oficiales y, finalmente, su matrimonio con la tecnologia. De esa forma, el autor busca dar con las principales razones historicas, sociales, economicas y politicas que explican el subdesarrollo actual de la ciencia mexicana para señalar las ideas que hay que cambiar y los obstaculos que se deben superar.

El hombre siempre busca realidades no exploradas, horizontes desconocidos; y a esa busqueda ha dedicado sus esfuerzos y su ingenio. Sin este afan, no habria progresado.La historia de la ciencia y sus aplicaciones es, en gran parte, la historia del progreso de la humanidad. Por eso es preciso conocerla en sus lineas basicas.Ciertamente, no resulta facil escribir una Historia sencilla de la Ciencia. La ciencia es maravillosa, sorprendente, pero no es sencilla. Sin embargo, muchas personas tienen interes por saber como se ha desarrollado hasta alcanzar los niveles actuales. Este libro trata de recordarla en toda su grandeza, pensando tambien en los lectores con menor preparacion cientifca.

In 1951, a poor African American tobacco farmer named Henrietta Lacks visited Johns Hopkins Hospital complaining of a "knot" in her womb. Doctors took a biopsy of her aggressive cervical cancer without her knowledge or consent. Henrietta died months later, but her cells did something no human cells had ever done before in a lab: they didnt die. They multiplied."The Immortal Woman" tells the story of the "HeLa" cell line, the first immortal human cells ever grown in culture. These cells became the workhorse of modern biology, essential for developing the polio vaccine, cancer treatments, and gene mapping. They have been bought and sold by the billions.Yet for decades, Henriettas family lived in poverty, unable to afford health insurance, completely unaware that a part of their mother was alive and fueling a multi-billion dollar industry. This book is a powerful exploration of medical ethics, race, and the ownership of our own bodies. It honors the woman behind the microscope slide.

"The Skull That Lied The bone hoax that fooled science for forty years" investigates the most successful scientific fraud of the 20th century: Piltdown Man. In 1912, amateur archaeologist Charles Dawson claimed to have found the "Missing Link" between apes and humans in a gravel pit in England. For decades, this skull was the pride of British science, cited in textbooks and museums.Science writer Nathan Coal reveals the embarrassing truth discovered in 1953: The skull was a medieval human cranium combined with the jaw of a modern orangutan, stained with chemicals and filed down to look old. The book explores why the scientific community was so easily dupedbecause they wanted it to be true. It appealed to their nationalism (the first human was British!) and their existing theories."The Skull That Lied" is a lesson in confirmation bias. It shows that even the smartest experts can be blinded by their own desires, and that skepticism is the most important tool in the search for truth.

Grouping several short investigations, this text explores the essential physiological functions that sustain life, such as breathing and the regulation of body heat. Aristotle connects the stages of youth and old age to the strength of the vital fire within the heart, viewing death as the eventual extinguishing of this internal heat. The work also considers the phenomena of sleep and dreams as byproducts of sensory processes. It provides a detailed biological account of the life cycle and the maintenance of the living organism.

The cycles of birth and decay in the physical world are the subject of this scientific inquiry, which explains how elements transform into one another. Aristotle debates the concepts of mixture and growth, refuting earlier atomist theories in favor of a continuous material substrate. The text details how the interaction of hot, cold, wet, and dry qualities drives the perpetual motion of the sublunary sphere. It is a foundational text for understanding the ancient view of chemistry and the conservation of matter.

Science and the Modern World refashions Whiteheads 1925 Lowell Lectures into a synoptic history and critique of modern science from the medieval synthesis through Galileo and Newton to Einstein. Against reductive materialism, it exposes the fallacy of misplaced concreteness and advances a philosophy of organism in which nature is a nexus of events and values. Historical narrative and speculative argument interweave, seeking categories that make sense of physics, biology, aesthetics, and religion. Composed amid relativity and early quantum theory, its poised prose widens sciences cultural horizon. A mathematician turned philosopher, Whitehead coauthored Principia Mathematica with Bertrand Russell and taught applied mathematics in London before joining Harvard. Intimate with dynamics and gravitational theory, and chastened by postwar disillusion with nineteenth-century mechanism, he sought concepts adequate to process, novelty, and value. The American pragmatist milieu and the public stage of the Lowell Lectures spurred his attempt to reconcile scientific practice with a non-reductive cosmology. This classic rewards scientists attuned to conceptual foundations, philosophers and historians of science, and humanists probing modernity. Read it for a rigorous, humane vision that restores depth to inquiry without sacrificing empirical exactitude.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Author Biography · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.
