Before the age of industry, the timber-built ship was one of the most complex and technologically advanced objects built by man. The ships were so expensive to construct that meticulous records were kept, from the purchase of timber to the last details of their furnishings. For this beautiful and highly informative book, the authors have tapped all available resources to tell the story of the building of HMS Thunderer, a two-decked, 74-gun ship-of-the-line. In words and drawings as well as contemporary prints and paintings, they capture every stage of its construction, from purchase and cutting of timbers through launch in 1760. There is also a description of the Woolwich dockyard where Thunderer was built along with explanations of the skills and trades involved. First published in 1984, this vivid and often surprising account of life and labor in the eighteenth century will appeal to historians, modelers, and everyone with an interest in traditional workmanship. 200 illustrations.

Gurdjieff tuvo una vida extraordinariamente rica que no ha sido juzgada en su verdadera importancia. Hay dos perspectivas extremas: una que fue un charlatán y otra, que fue la persona más valiosa, más completa y más directamente representativa de nuestro tiempo. Este último elogio (de Peter Brook) despierta temas fascinantes, ya que también se podría decir que Gurdjieff no fue "representativo" en absoluto: partidario y agente de la tradición en una época frenéticamente "progresista"; un patriarca en la era de la sensibilidad post-feminista; adalid de la calidad en una era seducida por la cantidad; un héroe en un marco cultural antiheroico; y por encima de todo, un avatar de la consciencia en un mundo entregado al estado hipnótico.

Charles Darwin cambió de forma radical e irreversible la visión que tenemos de nosotros mismos y de nuestro mundo, y puede decirse que su teoría de la evolución es uno de los mayores logros intelectuales de la historia de la humanidad. Este pequeño libro ofrece al lector una magnifica sintesis de la trayectoria vital y las teorias de Darwin, escrita por tres de las principales autoridades mundiales sobre su vida y su pensamiento. Lejos de perfilar una hagiografia intelectual del genial naturalista ingles, los autores presentan a un Darwin profusamente encarnado en la vida social, politico-economica y religiosa de su tiempo.
