The Science Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained

Product Information

In questo libro di Gribaudo si affronta la mitologia greca (decisamente la mia preferita, sono banale, lo so), quella romana, quella del nord Europa (la mitologia norrena ha un altro posto nel mio cuore), quella asiatica, delle Americhe, dell’antico Egitto e dell’Africa e per finire quella dell’Oceania.

Citizen Kane- http://realini.blogspot.com/2017/03/c... has had its own agitated history, as well as the star and director of the Magnum opus, who would himself have a very difficult relationship with studios – there was a time when he could handle it, as he declares in an interview, given his celebrity and stature after the impact of War of the Worlds, studios would offer almost anything he wanted and thus he got control of Citizen Kane, though not of other productions alas. Outrageous, because several authors that I consider relevant were totally ignored (Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Ursula K. Le Guin, Stephen King, Michael Chrichton, Paulo Coelho) or relegated to the "Other Works" section (JRR Tolkien, Edgar Allan Poe) as if they were less important, or even worse only mentioned as side notes (JK Rowling, Dan Brown, Isabel Allende). Also, in some cases they chose a book that I do not consider to be the best one to represent the author. And although they covered most literary geographical areas, they left out a relevant one like contemporary Scandinavian literature. And they ignored a genre like "Graphic Novel" where they could easily mention at least "Watchmen", "Maus" or "Persepolis". Hayatımda en sevdiğim filmler hakkında YouTube'da hazırladığım film önerileri içeriğimi izlemek için bu linke tıklayabilirsiniz: https://youtu.be/MPU3_1N9gmoI use the whole DK series to teach middle school and high school level Humanities, but I am convinced that anyone interested in the context of literature will spend delightful hours in the company of this book. If you are new to world literature, the book will offer a perfect compilation of interesting reading materials spanning the history of (written) storytelling. If you are a well-read and enthusiastic fan of world literature, it will be a a sweet reminder of past reading pleasure, put into a wider context and with plenty of suggestions for further reading. This was the first time I read a book from the DK Big Ideas series, specifically for a topic I know at least a little about, so I thought I should write a review. It's exciting and enlightening to have a broad overview and understanding of the influences and interactions between different philosophers and their ideas in a time frame of more than two millennia. Some topics like Linguistics made me realize how little I know about these subjects, while also realizing how important they are. ETA: After reading a lot of non-fiction this year, I've realized that this book is actually extremely well-laid out, clear, and instructional for its target group; which I would assume to be anybody wanting an introduction to philosophy.

Trauma must be understood in terms of the relationship between the individual and society - Ignacio Martín-Baró This book made me want to take a chronological approach to reading literature and try to do it in a similar fashion to how this book selects literary works, if not go through the exact same selection. WHITE WOMEN HAVE BEEN COMPLICIT IN THIS IMPERIALIST WHITE-SUPREMACIST CAPITALIST PATRIARCHY (- BELL HOOKS), които как ги коментираш.. Как въобще разговаряш по въпрос свързан с реалността с човек който говори и вярва в такива неща... 80% от ИДЕИТЕ в тази книга не са идеи, а са комсомолски лозунги.. The Physics Book is the perfect introduction to the science, aimed at adults with an interest in the subject and students wanting to gain more of an overview. Here you’ll discover more than 90 of the most important laws and theories in the history of physics and the great minds behind them. If you’ve ever wondered exactly how physicists formulated and proved groundbreaking abstract concepts, this is the perfect book for you. This book is a nice way of getting an overview, both historically and analytically. Many of the things mentioned here I already knew about but some (especially about India/sanskrit and other Asian facts) I learnt about through this book.I think there's nothing more I could say about the book since I did enjoy it and find it informative at most but I think that it was cut off or seemed like it was shortened for how it was supposed to be written and thought that it would be much better if it was a little bit longer in my opinion. Also the formatting, it kind off confused some time as I was reading but it became bearable as I go on. Ciltli ve kuşe kağıtta bir sürü resim basılmış olduğu için her zaman dikkatimi çeken ve sonunda aldığım bir kitap oldu. Seri olarak 24 kitaptan birisi. Benim en çok ilgimi çeken mitoloji olduğu için onunla başlamak istedim.

This was also a fascinating chapter on the development of the brain from childhood to adulthood, and how psychologists have revolutionized educational curriculums worldwide based on their discoveries on how children process information. Sociology is the study of human behavior. Sociology refers to social behavior, society, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and culture that surrounds everyday life. [...] Sociology can also be defined as the general science of society. This book is a guide to many of the best books of all time, but as you must suppose, in every book that tries to gather the best about something, the experience was both illustrating and outrageous.The only negative to be said is that the selection still comes out as too western in the end. but maybe that is for a good reason? And if it isn't, we cannot expect too much in this area due to the complexity of the task at hand.
