  Spain’s Explorers in the Age of...

  The most seminal event of the last millennium might also be its most controversial. As schoolchildren have been taught for over 500 years, “In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” In October of that year, the Italian Christopher Columbus immortalized himself by landing in the New World and beginning the process of European settlement in the Americas for Spain, bringing the Age of Exploration to a new hemisphere with him. Ironically, the Italian had led a Spanish expedition, in part because the Portugese rejected his offers in the belief that sailing west to Asia would take too long. 
  If Columbus and Cortés were the pioneers of Spain’s new global empire, Pizarro consolidated its immense power and riches, and his successes inspired a further generation to expand Spain’s dominions to unheard of dimensions. Furthermore, he participated in the forging of a new culture: like Cortés, he took an indigenous mistress with whom he had two mixed-race children, and yet the woman has none of the lasting fame of Cortés’s Doña Marina. With all of this in mind, it is again remarkable that Pizarro remains one of the less well-known and less written about of the explorers of his age. 
  Today Ferdinand Magellan is remembered as the first man to circumnavigate the globe, an ironic legacy given that he died half a world away from completing that journey. But though it ended catastrophically for Magellan and most of his crew, his expedition accomplished its objective, and in economic terms, the opening up of new trade routes with Asia was a more significant development than the conquest of the Americas for the Europeans of the early 16th century.

  Homo Sapiens 20 - Introduction...

  How can we use information rather than be subjected to it? Does life have a digital logic? Is the internal structure of the universe made up of information? Is the Internet generating a collective brain?
  Ever since Homo sapiens, armed with his electronic machines, learned to unlock the secret of information and its alchemy by digitizing it, he has unleashed hyperinformation. This force is a subtle blend of matter and thought, animate and inanimate, virtual and real. For the first time in human history, technology seems to be generating a collective intelligence. Does this mean that reason is becoming truly alien to itself, potentially hostile and dangerous? Or are we witnessing the happy dawn of a new era?
  Homo sapiens 2.0 offers a journey into the mysteries of the human brain, the mysteries of genes and memes (their mental equivalent), and the secrets of language, religion and new technologies. From René Girard to Richard Dawkins, from Teilhard de Chardin to Joël de Rosnay, the author recounts the saga of thought in the age of the virtual. In-between each chapter, “Interludes” take us on a journey through literary works or enlightening scientific experiments.

  Dive into the most comprehensive projection of Russia’s population and ethnic landscape by the year 2070. This meticulous analysis goes far beyond national totals, providing granular, region-by-region estimates for every Oblast, Okrug, and Autonomous Region. 
  Using a rigorous methodology that cross-references historic Census data, detailed Ethnologue sources, and current demographic trends, this report paints a striking portrait of the potential collapse and transformation of an old empire. Discover which regions face the most catastrophic population decline and how internal and external migration flows are set to reshape the ethnic map of the Russian Federation. 
  This is more than just a list of numbers. It’s a stark, data-driven look at the forces eroding Russian society. While based strictly on established demographic trends, the underlying context of this population crisis, including Russia's persistent Tier 3 ranking on the U.S. Department of State's human trafficking list—underscores the complex challenges threatening the nation’s stability.
