Diario para mentes revoltosas

This volume provides a comprehensive overview of current researches on science in the Muslim-Arab world. The papers deal with the religious and institutional context, mathematics, optics, astronomy, mechanics, natural philosophy, and pharamacology.The present volume also includes a general author index of the 21 volumes that make up the proceedings of the XXth International Congress of History of Science.

Dos de los más reconocidos estudiosos iberoamericanos del problema ecológico analizan si la crisis ecológica actual constituye la crisis de toda la civilización industrial, y si la ciencia y la política contribuyen realmente a resolver el problema generalizado ya en todo el mundo. Se preguntan si el planeta ha dejado de ser parte de nuestro cuerpo y si estamos, como afirma el historiador J. McNeill, inmersos en "un gigantesco experimento fuera de control".

Una radiografía de los impulsos humanos que rigen familias y sociedades enteras y determinan guerras. El estudio de un erudito, en una obra de gran agudeza y claridad.

This volume covers the advances in the organometallic chemistry of nickel, palladium and platinum since publication of COMC in 1982. Major applications of the organometallic compounds of the nickel group are in catalytic and stoichiometric organic synthesis and in materials synthesis. This volume covers the fundamental organometallic chemistry which underpins these applications. The level of sophistication in many areas has increased substantially since COMC, for example in the development of chiral organometallics for use in synthesis, in the synthesis and characterization of larger cluster...
