Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Galileo's groundbreaking dialogues are a summation of three decades
of scientific work he had undertaken in the fledgling field of
physics. This edition includes the diagrams crucial for
understanding the text. Writing these dialogues in 1638, the
elderly Galileo had a life of achievements behind him. Despite
attempts at suppression of his writings by the Roman Inquisition,
his ideas were successfully communicated across Europe. The motion
of objects and resistance to such motion, the concept of velocity,
and the laws of gravity are merely a few of the topics covered in
these detailed dialogues. At the outset, we are introduced to the
three conversation partners: Salviati, Sagredo and Simplicio. These
three Venetians embark on a scientific discussion, hoping to
explain the curiosities of things such as speed and movement. Over
the course of four days, their meetings grow in complexity and
scope as they strive to explain physical phenomena.
Al leer este libro prodigioso, lo primero que se le ocurrira al
enemigo sera calificarlo como Bizarro. Esta novela (la tercera de
una trilogia sobre el amor y la guerra) fue escrita Para mientras
nos preparabamos en el uso y desuso de otras mejores
circunstancias; Por joder, o sea, para desquitarnos aunque sea con
las ganas; y, Por si acaso (digamos) las dos razones anteriores no
fueran suficientes y/o necesarias. Esta obra sigue siendo una
parodia de las Historias de Amor. Diecinueve poetas envueltos en
una epopeya que amarra los hilos del corazon del universo con el
frio de la soledad existencial. De por si, constituye un reto para
aquellos que no estan conformes con que se les siga dando atol con
el dedo. Cuando la conciencia cuestiona el origen de su formacion.
El contexto fuera de contexto. En el momento en que La Condicion
Humana, La Naturaleza del Hombre y otras universalidades obsoletas
se convierten en categorias sin contenido. Como una nueva
interpretacion.
Galileo Galilei was a great scientist, and therefore not afraid of
causing controversy, even if he had to pay a great price. His
public advocacy of the Copernican over the Aristotelian system of
the universe flew directly in the face of biblical authority and
ecclesiastical tradition. Condemned and placed under house arrest
by the Inquisition, Galileo nonetheless devoted his last years to
the completion of his "Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences",
which deals with motion and the resistance of solids. "The Two New
Sciences", which Galileo called his most important work, may be
regarded as the summary statement of a life devoted to scientific
experimentation and free inquiry un-trammeled by tradition and
authority.
In the study of strongly interacting systems, two problems are of
particular importance, namely the knowledge of their interactions
and the calculation of their structure and properties. In this
course, the quark models for hadrons is widely examined while the
technique for detailed calculations on strongly interacting systems
is extensively discussed.
