1900 45 From atom models to atomic bomb-Year 1945- English Edition - Year 1945 Volume

F. Scognamiglio

Sinopsis

Generally the golden age of Physics is identified in the period that runs from 1900 to 1945 and which sees the birth and consolidation of fundamental theories such as Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. A collection of the original Scientific Publications in English that marked the stages of this process, is re-proposed for a historical reading of that period keeping its chronology for years. This document refers to the sad events linked to the explosion of the two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which, with their burden of death and destruction, have indelibly marked the entire history of mankind. The most painful and controversial way to legitimize the birth of the new Modern Physics. They are reported, introduced by short explanatory notes, the most important and significant historical documents, some declassified in recent times, which now constitute the testimony inherited from subsequent generations of one of the most terrible pages in the history of the twentieth century. The volume, unlike the others centered on the collection of specialized physics "papers", selects a wide documentation consisting of military reports, testimonies, stories, medical publications on the effects caused by radiation and "Flash Burn", with a purpose therefore more specifically scientific historical. Useful for any research, historical insights or even for simple reading or consultation.
The text is equipped with a convenient interactive index.

Notes on the Author.
Francesco Scognamiglio is an independent author of informative texts on Physics and History of Science and Technology. Graduated in Engineering with AeroSpaziale specialization fhe has passionately cultivated a particular interest in the knowledge and understanding of the fundamental laws that govern natural phenomena, trying to transmit knowledge even to those who would not have easy access to the subject for its high specialized content. For this purpose he  is supported by many years of experience in training and teaching  activities, addressing its interest for the deepening of the peculiar philosophical and historical aspects. And it is precisely the particular attention to a scientific historical reconstruction of the evolution of the new Atomic Theories in the period from 1900 to 1945, which guides the author in the presentation of important historical documents and dramatic original testimonies of the period examined.

The Pattern on The Stone - The...

W. Daniel Hillis

Most people are baffled by how computers work and assume that they will never understand them. What they don't realize—and what Daniel Hillis's short book brilliantly demonstrates—is that computers' seemingly complex operations can be broken down into a few simple parts that perform the same simple procedures over and over again. Computer wizard Hillis offers an easy-to-follow explanation of how data is processed that makes the operations of a computer seem as straightforward as those of a bicycle.Avoiding technobabble or discussions of advanced hardware, the lucid explanations and colorful anecdotes in The Pattern on the Stone go straight to the heart of what computers really do. Hillis proceeds from an outline of basic logic to clear descriptions of programming languages, algorithms, and memory. He then takes readers in simple steps up to the most exciting developments in computing today—quantum computing, parallel computing, neural networks, and self-organizing systems.Written clearly and succinctly by one of the world's leading computer scientists, The Pattern on the Stone is an indispensable guide to understanding the workings of that most ubiquitous and important of machines: the computer.

Complications - A Surgeon’s...

Atul Gawande

A brilliant and courageous doctor reveals, in gripping accounts of true cases, the power and limits of modern medicine. 
Sometimes in medicine the only way to know what is truly going on in a patient is to operate, to look inside with one's own eyes. This audio is exploratory surgery on medicine itself, laying bare a science not in its idealized form but as it actually is — complicated, perplexing, and profoundly human. 
Atul Gawande offers an unflinching view from the scalpel's edge, where science is ambiguous, information is limited, the stakes are high, yet decisions must be made. In dramatic and revealing stories of patients and doctors, he explores how deadly mistakes occur and why good surgeons go bad. He also shows us what happens when medicine comes up against the inexplicable: an architect with incapacitating back pain for which there is no physical cause; a young woman with nausea that won't go away; a television newscaster whose blushing is so severe that she cannot do her job. Gawande offers a richly detailed portrait of the people and the science, even as he tackles the paradoxes and imperfections inherent in caring for human lives. 
At once tough-minded and humane, Complications is a new kind of medical writing, nuanced and lucid, unafraid to confront the conflicts and uncertainties that lie at the heart of modern medicine, yet always alive to the possibilities of wisdom in this extraordinary endeavor.
