顯微鏡下的科學革命: 一段天才縱橫的歷史 book pdf download By Lisa Jardine

十六世紀到十八世紀，歐洲文化發生一場重大的變化，史稱 「科學革命 」 已，後世常將現代科學的起源歸諸於這場 「革命 」。在一般的史書 、科普書乃至現代 科學的教科書中，所謂 「科學革命 」是由一群不世出之天才透過個人的才智與努力 、加上對抗 外界成見和壓力的勇氣與毅力而開創出的偉大事業 。我們都讀過哥白尼與克卜勒如何打破中世 紀經院哲學 「天動說 」 太陽繞地球運動 的成見，而提出 「地動說 」這個今天已經是小學生 常識的地球繞太陽說法；我們也都聽老師說過伽利略在比薩斜塔的自由落體實驗，以及他如何 爲了捍衛地動說而遭到天主教會迫害 。我們知道牛頓看到蘋果落下而發現萬有引力的故事，或 許我們還聽過哈維如何發現了血液循環，以及波以耳如何用空氣幫浦發現今天中學化學課本中 的 「波以耳定律 」。這些不乏後人加油添醋的軼事與成就，都被認爲是科學革命留給我

Author: John Arnold

About the Author: John Hugh Arnold (born 1969) is a British historian. Since 2016, he has been the Professor of Medieval History at the University of Cambridge. He previously worked at Birkbeck College, University of London, where he specialised in the study of medieval religious culture. He has also written widely on historiography and why history matters. Born 28 November 1969, Arnold received his Bachelor of Arts degree in history and his Doctor of Philosophy degree in medieval studies from the University of York. He was professor of medieval history at Birkbeck College, University of London, from 2008. He joined the college as a lecturer in 2001. Before that he was a lecturer at the University of East Anglia. He is a member of the Social History Society and the Medieval Academy of America. Arnold specialises in the study of medieval religious culture, saying that while he has never been a believer in any religion, “belief” has always fascinated him. In his work he asks “Why do people believe the things they believe? What does ‘believing’ really mean in practice?” Arnold has also written widely about historiography. In 2008 he wrote a policy paper, Why history matters – and why medieval history also matters, for History & Policy.

History: A Very Short Introduction book pdf download By John Arnold

The book is loosely arranged into three sections. The first three chapters aim to raise certain questions, engage the reader’s interest, and describe (in brief terms) what history has been in the past. Chapters 4 and 5 attempt to show how one might set about ‘doing’ history, first by working with sources and secondly by thinking about interpretations. The final chapters present some thoughts on the status and meaning of history and truth, and why history matters.

Author: Will Durant

About the Author: William James Durant was a prolific American writer, historian, and philosopher. He is best known for the 11-volume The Story of Civilization, written in collaboration with his wife Ariel and published between 1935 and 1975.

The lessons of history book pdf download By Will Durant

In this illuminating and thoughtful book, Will and Ariel Durant have succeeded in distilling for the reader the accumulated store of knowledge and experience from their four decades of work on the ten monumental volumes of “The Story of Civilization.” The result is a survey of human history, full of dazzling insights into the nature of human experience, the evolution of civilization, the culture of man. With the completion of their life’s work they look back and ask what history has to say about the nature, the conduct and the prospects of man, seeking in the great lives, the great ideas, the great events of the past for the meaning of man’s long journey through war, conquest and creation – and for the great themes that can help us to understand our own era. To the Durants, history is “not merely a warning reminder of man’s follies and crimes, but also an encouraging remembrance of generative souls … a spacious country of the mind wherein a thousand saints, statesman, inventors, scientists, poets, artists, musicians, lovers, and philosophers still live and speak, teach and carve and sing…” Designed to accompany the ten-volume set of “The Story of Civilization, The Lessons of History” is, in its own right, a profound and original work of history and philosophy.

21 Lessons for the 21st Century book pdf download By Yuval Noah Harari

InSapiens,he explored our past. InHomo Deus,he looked to our future.Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today’s most pressing issues. How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children? Yuval Noah Harari’s21 Lessons for the 21st Centuryis a probing and visionary investigation into today’s most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive. In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis? Harari’s unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly,21 Lessons for the 21st Centuryis essential reading.

21 lezioni per il XXI secolo book pdf download By Yuval Noah Harari

In un mondo invaso da informazioni irrilevanti, la lucidità è potere. La censura non opera bloccando il flusso di informazioni, ma inondando le persone di disinformazione e distrazioni.
21 lezioni per il XXI secolo si fa largo in queste acque torbide e affronta alcune delle questioni più urgenti dell’agenda globale contemporanea.

Perché la democrazia liberale è in crisi? Dio è tornato? Si prospetta una nuova guerra mondiale? Che cosa significa l’ascesa di Donald Trump? Che cosa si può fare per contrastare l’epidemia di notizie false? Quale civiltà domina il mondo: l’Occidente, la Cina o l’islam? L’Europa deve tenere le porte aperte ai migranti? I nazionalismi possono risolvere i problemi legati all’ineguaglianza e ai cambiamenti climatici? Che fare per arginare il terrorismo? Che cosa dobbiamo insegnare ai nostri figli? Miliardi di persone possono a stento permettersi il lusso di approfondire simili questioni, perché pressate da ben altre urgenze: andare al lavoro, prendersi cura dei figli o dei genitori anziani. Purtroppo la storia non fa sconti. Se il futuro dell’umanità viene deciso in vostra assenza, perché siete troppo occupati a dar da mangiare e a vestire i vostri bambini, voi e loro ne subirete comunque le conseguenze. Certo è molto ingiusto; ma chi ha mai detto che la storia sia giusta?

Un libro non dà alle persone cibo o vestiti, però può offrire un po’ di chiarezza, contribuendo ad appianare le differenze a livello globale. Se questo libro riuscirà a far sì che anche solo una manciata di persone si unisca al dibattito sul futuro della nostra specie, allora avrà fatto il suo dovere.

Yuval Noah Harari ist der Weltstar unter den Historikern.

In “Eine kurze Geschichte der Menschheit” erzählte er vom Aufstieg des Homo Sapiens zum Herrn der Welt. In “Homo Deus” ging es um die Zukunft unserer Spezies. Sein neues Buch schaut auf das Hier und Jetzt und konfrontiert uns mit den drängenden Fragen unserer Zeit.

Wie unterscheiden wir Wahrheit und Fiktion im Zeitalter der Fake News? Was sollen wir unseren Kindern beibringen? Wie können wir in unserer unübersichtlichen Welt moralisch handeln? Wie bewahren wir Freiheit und Gleichheit im 21. Jahrhundert? Seit Jahrtausenden hat die Menschheit über den Fragen gebrütet, wer wir sind und was wir mit unserem Leben anfangen sollen. Doch jetzt setzen uns die heraufziehende ökologische Krise, die wachsende Bedrohung durch Massenvernichtungswaffen und der Aufstieg neuer disruptiver Technologien unter Zeitdruck. Bald schon wird irgendjemand darüber entscheiden müssen, wie wir die Macht nutzen, die künstliche Intelligenz und Biotechnologie bereit halten. Dieses Buch will möglichst viele Menschen dazu anregen, sich an den großen Debatten unserer Zeit zu beteiligen, damit die Antworten nicht von den blinden Kräften des Marktes gegeben werden.
