El gran científico Sephen Hawking ha sintetizado en este libro, espléndidamente ilustrado, las cinco obras que representan el canon de la cultura universal en el campo de la Física y la Astronomía: · Sobre las revoluciones de los orbes celestes, de Nicolás Copérnico · Diálogo sobre dos nuevas ciencias, de Galileo Galilei · Las armonías del mundo, de Johannes Kepler · Principios matemáticos de la filosofía natural, de Isaac Newton · El principio de la relatividad, de Albert Einstein. Hawking ha escrito una introducción a cada una de estas obras explicando lo que han significado para la ciencia, vinculándolas entre sí y ofreciéndonos cinco soberbios retratos de los genios que las escribieron. Ellos construyeron sus teorías geniales a partir de las contribuciones de sus predecesores, en una cadena de gigantes de la inteligencia que llega hasta nuestros días con el propio Stephen Hawking, el gran físico teórico inglés, autor de los best-sellers mundiales Historia del tiempo y El Universo en una cáscara de nuez. Más de 125 ilustraciones a todo color complementan estos textos soberbios.
La obra del físico francés Pierre Duhem ha sido reconocida después de muchos años en los círculos intelectuales no católicos. Sin embargo, demasiado a menudo, en dichos círculos se da una visión bastante sesgada cuando no totalmente falseada de sus aportaciones en el terreno de la física y más aún en el de la filosofía y la historia. El testimonio -profundamente vivido e impregnado de su fe católica- se silencia y cuando se menciona va acompañado de clichés peyorativos o condescendientes. Pero Duhem molesta también a ciertos intelectuales católicos que sólo buscan complacer a sus adversarios y no dar razón y testimonio de su fe en momentos de increencia y de apoteosis científica. El que hayan sido tan pocos los que han escuchado a Duhem, incluso en su propia familia espiritual, es una prueba más, y ciertamente esclarecedora, de que es uno de los profetas de los tiempos modernos. La obra del sabio francés se desconoce casi por completo en castellano. Traer algo de su pensamiento a nuestra lengua ha sido el motivo principal de esta traducción, que consta de dos partes. En la primera de ellas, el padre Jaki traza una semblanza del gran científico francés; en la segunda recoge pasajes de algunas de sus obras, cartas y alocuciones.

Gaia es la Tierra viva, un organismo cargado de información con el que podemos conectarnos para reencontrar las claves de una existencia acorde con los dictados de la naturaleza. Para ello deberíamos acudir a los focos de energía telúrica que nuestros antepasados marcaron, convirtiéndolos en sus lugares sagrados. Gaia, los orígenes de la Tierra pone a nuestro alcance losinstrumentos necesarios para descifrar la sabiduría almacenada en dichos lugares sagrados.
«Espectacular fenómeno en aguas canarias. Millares de personas lo contemplaron. »Cuatro hipótesis: un volcán submarino, un meteorito que cayó al mar, otro fenómeno marino o atmosférico, o algo relacionado con los ovnis.»
¿Hay diferencias entre el cerebro de un hombre y una mujer? ¿Es posible regenerar las neuronas? ¿Qué sucede en nuestra cabeza cuando dormimos? ¿Cómo se producen las enfermedades mentales? ¿Qué relación hay entre nuestro cerebro y nuestra mente?Aunque todavía quede mucho por saber, en los últimos años la neurociencia ha experimentado grandes avances que nos acercan a conocer cada vez más como funciona nuestro cerebro.
