Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. Fourth Printing [stated]. xvi, [2], 270 pages Foreword by Freeman Dyson. Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 - February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist, known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as his work in particle physics. For contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichir Tomonaga. Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions describing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world. In a 1999 poll of 130 leading physicists worldwide by the British journal Physics World, he was ranked the seventh-greatest physicist of all time. He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II and became known to a wide public in the 1980s as a member of the Rogers Commission, the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Along with his work in theoretical physics, Feynman helped pioneer the field of quantum computing and introducing the concept of nanotechnology. Feynman was a keen popularizer of physics through both books and lectures, including a 1959 talk on top-down nanotechnology called There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom and the three-volume publication of his undergraduate lectures, The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The Pleasure of Finding Things Out is a magnificent treasury of the best short works of Richard Feynman, from interviews and speeches to lectures and printed articles. A sweeping, wide-ranging collection, it presents an intimate and fascinating view of a life in science, a life like no other. From his ruminations on science in our culture and descriptions of the fantastic properties of quantum physics to his report on the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster and his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, this book will fascinate anyone interested in Feynman and anyone interested in the world of ideas. Newcomers to Feynman will be moved by his wit and deep understanding of the natural world, and of the human experience.…

Description The Sleeping Giant Has Awoken: The New Politics of Religion in the United States, edited by Jeffrey W. Robbins and Neal Magee, with an introduction by John D. Caputo and a postface by Slavoj Žižek. Published by Continuum in New York and London in 2008. This hardcover collection examines the intersection of religion and American politics, particularly evangelicalism, conservatism, Christianity, and their influence on contemporary political life in the United States. The volume brings together essays by multiple scholars and commentators examining the resurgence of religion as a political force. The presence of major contemporary philosophers John D. Caputo and Slavoj Žižek gives the collection additional relevance to readers of political philosophy, religious studies, theology, and cultural criticism. An academic collection addressing the changing relationship among Christianity, political identity, evangelical movements, and American public life during the early twenty-first century.…
