Book Description
De qué trata y a quién está dedicado este libro? Este no es ni un libro de texto, ni una monografía científica. Es sólo una colección de relatos sobre el conocimiento científico, sobre los creadores de nuevas ideas y sobre la aplicación de estas ideas en diferentes campos de la actividad humana. Para leer este libro no se necesitan conocimientos especiales. Con toda seguridad será de interés para los maestros y profesores (no necesariamente de matemáticas o ciencias naturales) que deseen hacer un poco más ameno el material de sus lecciones. Será también interesante para los alumnos que deseen conocer algo de lo que no se estudia en la escuela. Posiblemente, también sea interesante para sus padres, pues ellos mismos fueron adolescentes no hace tanto, y con seguridad la vida aún no ha podido despojarlos del deseo de aprender algo nuevo. Este libro no tiene el objetivo de convertir a nadie a la "fe matemática", pero, desppués de leerlo, usted estará de acuerdo con el autor: sin la matemática el Homo erectus nunca ser hubiera transformado en Homo sapiens.

Book Description
The turbulent years of the 1930s were of profound importance in the life of Spanish film director Luis Buñuel (1900–1983). He joined the Surrealist movement in 1929 but by 1932 had renounced it and embraced Communism. During the Spanish Civil War (1936–39), he played an integral role in disseminating film propaganda in Paris for the Spanish Republican cause. Luis Buñuel: The Red Years, 1929–1939 investigates Buñuel’s commitment to making the politicized documentary Land without Bread (1933) and his key role as an executive producer at Filmófono in Madrid, where he was responsible in 1935–36 for making four commercial features that prefigure his work in Mexico after 1946. As for the republics of France and Spain between which Buñuel shuttled during the 1930s, these became equally embattled as left and right totalitarianisms fought to wrest political power away from a debilitated capitalism. Where it exists, the literature on this crucial decade of the film director’s life is scant and relies on Buñuel’s own self-interested accounts of that complex period. Román Gubern and Paul Hammond have undertaken extensive archival research in Europe and the United States and evaluated Buñuel’s accounts and those of historians and film writers to achieve a portrait of Buñuel’s “Red Years” that abounds in new information.

Book Description
"Substantially the book that devotees of the director have been waiting for: a full-length critical work about Ozu's life, career and working methods, buttressed with reproductions of pages from his notebooks and shooting scripts, numerous quotes from co-workers and Japanese critics, a great many stills and an unusually detailed filmography."—Sight and Sound Yasujiro Ozu, the man whom his kinsmen consider the most Japanese for all film directors, had but one major subject, the Japanese family, and but one major theme, its dissolution. The Japanese family in dissolution figures in every one of his fifty-three films. In his later pictures, the whole world exists in one family, the characters are family members rather than members of a society, and the ends of the earth seem no more distant than the outside of the house.

Book Description
Ptolemy's Almagest is one of the most influential scientific works in history. A masterpiece of technical exposition, it was the basic textbook of astronomy for more than a thousand years, and still is the main source for our knowledge of ancient astronomy. This translation, based on the standard Greek text of Heiberg, makes the work accessible to English readers in an intelligible and reliable form. It contains numerous corrections derived from medieval Arabic translations and extensive footnotes that take account of the great progress in understanding the work made in this century, due to the discovery of Babylonian records and other researches. It is designed to stand by itself as an interpretation of the original, but it will also be useful as an aid to reading the Greek text.
