Book Description
Desde los inicios de la literatura, muchos escritores han incorporado conceptos científicos en sus obras, como metáfora o como recurso para enriquecer las descripciones. Algunos de ellos incluso han atribuido a la ciencia y la tecnología un papel central, ya sea para elogiar los avances conseguidos, ya sea para criticar sus principios o sus posibles consecuencias Este libro ofrece una panorámica inédita de la presencia de la ciencia en la literatura, en un viaje por las letras universales que va desde Homero hasta nuestros días y que reúne numerosos ejemplos de la literatura española. Una propuesta singular que permite al lector redescubrir a los clásicos y acercarse a la ciencia desde una nueva perspectiva.

The Limits of Medicine
Author: Edward S. Golub
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226302072
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Edward Golub, distinguished researcher and former professor of immunology, shows that major advances in medicine are caused by changes in the way scientists describe disease. Bleeding, sweating, and other treatments we consider barbaric were standard treatments for centuries because they conformed to a conception of disease shared by patients and doctors. Scientific breakthroughs in the understanding of disease in the nineteenth century transformed treatment and the goals of medicine. Golub argues that the ongoing revolution in molecular genetics has opened the door to the "biology of complexity," again transforming our view of disease. This thought-provoking, timely book reveals a crucial but overlooked role of science in medicine, and offers a new vision for the goals of both science and medicine as we enter the twenty-first century.

The Time Ship
Author: Enrique Gaspar
Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
ISBN: 081957239X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
H. G. Wells wasn't the only nineteenth-century writer to dream of a time machine. The Spanish playwright Enrique Gaspar published El anacronópete—"He who flies against time"—eight years before Wells's influential work appeared. The novel begins at the 1878 Paris Exposition, where Dr. Don Sindulfo unveils his new invention—which looks like a giant sailing vessel. Soon the doctor embarks on a voyage back in time, accompanied by a motley crew of French prostitutes and Spanish soldiers. The purpose of his expedition is to track down the imprisoned wife of a third-century Chinese emperor, believed to possess the secret to immortality. A classic tale of obsession, high adventure, and star-crossed love, The Time Ship includes intricately drawn illustrations from the original 1887 edition, and a critical introduction that argues persuasively for The Time Ship's historical importance to science fiction and world literature.
