Christiaan Huygens

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Treatise on Light," Christiaan Huygens presents a groundbreaking exploration of the nature of light, articulating his wave theory which countered the prevailing particle theory of the time. Huygens employs a meticulous and methodical approach, combining mathematical rigor with philosophical inquiry, as he examines phenomena such as reflection, refraction, and the propagation of light waves. His literary style intertwines clarity with precision, making complex concepts more accessible while engaging deeply with the scientific discourse of the 17th century, thus situating his work within the rich tradition of natural philosophy that characterized the Scientific Revolution. Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695), a Dutch mathematician, physicist, and astronomer, was profoundly influenced by his contemporaries, including Galileo and Descartes. His multifaceted inquiries into mechanics and optics were not merely academic; they were fueled by his keen desire to understand the fundamental principles governing the natural world. Huygens' work on pendulums, horology, and optics all contribute to the depth of insight reflected in "Treatise on Light," positioning him as a pivotal figure in the history of science. This seminal text is essential for scholars of physics and philosophy, offering both contemporary relevance and historical significance. Readers seeking to grasp the evolution of scientific thought and the shift towards a wave theory of light will find Huygens'Äô arguments compelling and enlightening. His meticulous observations and theoretical advancements collectively lay the groundwork for modern optics, making this treatise a must-read for anyone enthusiastic about scientific progress.

Margin over Mission - When...

James Kelly

In a country where health care is increasingly driven by profit, Margin over Mission exposes the dire consequences of corporate ownership in hospitals. James Kelly, an ICU nurse with over two decades of experience, narrates a gripping account of his final year at Lovelace Women's Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico—a year marred by preventable deaths, administrative changes, and the heartbreaking loss of a once-mission-driven institution to the clutches of Wall Street. 
 
 
 
Kelly's poignant narrative takes listeners on an emotional journey through the corridors of a hospital that once stood for community and care but became overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of profit. Through detailed anecdotes and critical analysis, Kelly reveals the stark reality of a health care system compromised by private equity, where decisions prioritize profit margins over the mission of saving lives. 
 
 
 
Kelly's unique perspective as an ICU nurse provides an insider's look into how private equity is wreaking havoc in hospitals around the country. His story is also a powerful tribute to the countless health care workers who struggle to maintain their integrity and compassion in an increasingly inhumane system that prioritizes money over people.
