Los números nos hicieron como somos

La cultura mediática de masas enfrentada al ejercicio de la ciencia. +Corremos el riesgo que caer en un nuevo oscurantismo? Carlos Elías aborda, en este polémico ensayo, el preocupante fenómeno mundial que amenaza con torpedear el progreso científico de la humanidad. Un ensayo lúcido y bien escrito sobre uno de los temas claves del debate público en España: la precaria situación de la cico en España.

Humanity's understanding of the physical world is full of gaps. Not tiny little gaps you can safely ignore -- there are huge yawning voids in our basic notions of how the world works. Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson team up to explore everything we don't know about the universe, and while introducing the biggest mysteries in physics, they also helpfully demystify many complicated things we do know. And although the universe is full of weird things that don't make any sense, Cham and Whiteson make a case that the questions we can't answer are as interesting as the ones we can, and they invite...

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...

A collection of important works dealing with such a new theme which is the study and management of water resources.
