A brief history of time, stephen hawking with leonard Mlodinow
Stephen Hawking's worldwide bestseller, A Brief History of Time, has been a landmark volume in scientific writing. Its author's engaging voice is one reason, and the compelling subjects he addresses is another; the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, the history and future of the universe. But it is also true that in the years since its publication, readers have repeatedly told Professor Hawking of their great difficulty in understanding some of the book's most important concepts. This is the origin of and the reason for A Briefer History of Time: its author's wish to make its content more accessible to readers - as well as to bring it up-to-date with the latest scientific observations and findings.Although this book is literally somewhat "briefer", it actually expands on the great subjects of the original. Purely technical concepts, such as the mathematics of chaotic boundary conditions, are gone. Conversely, subjects of wide interest that were difficult to follow because they were interspersed throughout the book have now been given entire chapters of their own, including relativity, curved space, and quantum theory.This reorganization has allowed the authors to expand areas of special interest and recent progress, from the latest developments in string theory to exciting developments in the search for a complete unified theory of all the forces of physics. Like prior editions of the book - but even more so - A Briefer History of Time will guide nonscientists everywhere in the ongoing search for the tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space. Thirty-seven full-color illustrations enhance the text and make A Briefer History of Time an exhilarating addition in its own right to the literature of science.
THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING
Based on a series of lectures given at Cambridge University, Professor Hawking's work introduced "the history of ideas about the universe" as well as today's most important scientific theories about time, space, and the cosmos in a clear, easy-to-understand way. "The Theory of Everything" presents the most complex theories, both past and present, of physics; yet it remains clear and accessible. It will enlighten readers and expose them to the rich history of scientific thought and the comlixities of the universe in which we live.

Think like a Monk
Dopo aver conseguito la laurea in Economia alla Cass Business School di Londra, Jay Shetty si trova di fronte a un bivio: può intraprendere una sicura carriera nel mondo degli affari oppure seguire un sentiero meno battuto e investigare la profondità di una chiamata interiore. Decidendo per la seconda opzione, pochi mesi dopo è in India in un noto ashram dove decide di diventare un monaco. Lì impara che dare ascolto a quella parte più profonda di noi stessi che spesso ignoriamo è il primo passo per riuscir ad accettare chi intimamente siamo, e che solo così facendo possiamo rendere significative le nostre vite e toccare la felicità. Jay Shetty comprende anche che essere un monaco è fondamentalmente uno stato d'animo e così dopo tre anni dedicati alla ricerca interiore, in pieno accordo con il suo maestro, decide di lasciare il monastero per raccontare al mondo tutta la bellezza di quell'antica sapienza.E in Pensa come un monaco condivide con il lettore le sue intuizioni maturate a partire da quell'esperienza, sottolineando che non è necessario trasferirsi a vivere in un monastero perché la saggezza insegnata dai monaci è sempre accessibile, e una volta che la si sappia accendere è capace di offrire una risposta a molte delle domande che quotidianamente affollano la mente. La magnetica capacità comunicativa di Jay Shetty è formidabile nel rendere attualissima la saggezza e nel farci comprendere che è possibile raggiungere l'agognata armonia con il nostro sé più intimo e dimorare in quel fugace equilibro interiore che sembra altrimenti sempre sfuggirci. Ci sono tre fasi di apprendimento della mentalità del monaco.La prima è il lasciar andare, liberandoci dalle influenze esterne, dagli ostacoli interni e dalle paure che ci bloccano. Potete vederla come una pulizia che farà spazio per la crescita. La seconda fase è la crescita. Ci aiuterà a ripensare la nostra vita in modo da poter prendere le decisioni con intenzione, determinazione e sicurezza. La terza è il dare, volgendoci al mondo al di fuori di noi, espandendo
The Switch: Activating Your Genes for a Leaner, Longer, Healthier Life
Enter autophagy, an ancient mechanism built into our cells that eliminates toxic materials, initiates fat-burning, and protects cells against stress. Best-known for being triggered by intermittent fasting, the complex process not only slows down the ageing process, but optimises biological function as a whole, staving off all manner of disease - from diabetes to dementia - and affording us the healthy lifespan we never thought possible. So how can we activate autophagy? It’s as simple as flipping a switch. The Switch unpacks the revolutionary research on the body's natural process for maintaining health and youthfulness, as well as the “dial” that controls it. Backed by a synthesis of the data, and with a foreword by renowned Harvard geneticists Drs. George Church and David Sinclair, The Switch not only decodes the science of autophagy, but also teaches readers how to control it and benefit from its profound impact.

Fictional book
A compelling mediation on the power of running and a fascinating insight into the life of this internationally bestselling writer.In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit.

Meditations
Written in Greek, without any intention of publication, by the only Roman emperor who was also a philosopher, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) offer a remarkable series of challenging spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Ranging from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the nature of moral virtue, human rationality, divine providence, and Marcus' own emotions. But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement, in developing his beliefs Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection of extended meditations and short aphorisms that has been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and readers through the centuries.
Beyond good and evil
A caustic criticism of nearly every philosophic predecessor and a challenge of traditionally held views on right and wrong, Friedrich Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil paved the way for modern philosophical thought. Through nearly three hundred transformative aphorisms, Nietzsche presents a worldview in which neither truth nor morality are absolutes, and where good and evil are not opposites but counterparts that stem from the same desires.This work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a "slave morality." With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual impose their own "will to power" upon the world.Beyond Good and Evil was a foundational text for early twentieth-century thinkers, including philosophers, psychologists, novelists, and playwrights. Today’s readers will delight in Nietzsche’s pithy wit and irony while gaining a deeper understanding of his core ideology.
