The eighteenth century began with the absolutism of the Sun King and the pervasive presence of empires like the English and Russian, and ended with the figures of Napoleon and the independence of the United States of America.This transformation was made possible by three distinct, and almost simultaneous, revolutions: the American, the French, and the Industrial Revolution.These revolutions were based on two solid pillars: the Enlightenment, which owed much of its foundation ...

The seventeenth century was the century of the great scientific revolution, with the inductive and experimental methods developed by Bacon and Galileo, the discoveries of optics, Kepler's laws, Descartes's philosophical system, the ideas of Pascal and Spinoza, and, finally, the great work of Newton.The same century was also pervaded by the destruction and disease caused by the Thirty Years' War, a conflict that tore Europe apart, almost completely annihilating the population of Germ...

The colonization of the Americas, Protestantism, and the Catholic Counter-Reformation are the three pillars of the sixteenth century around which the diverse human experiences of individuals unfold.In Spain, entire families of colonists and explorers found themselves having to deal with the destruction of pre-Columbian civilizations by the conquistadors, and the blunder of Charles V's Universal Empire was not unanimously approved.Few would seek a balance with those population...

Decades after its release, "The Double Life of Veronica" is wrongly considered an interlude film between Krzysztof Kieślowski's two most famous works. The artistic refinement, the delicate style, the magnificent interpretation of Irene Jacob and the exuberant music of Zbigniew Preisner make, on the contrary, this work completely unique and unrepeatable.A little jewel that we will try to explore in this book, always keeping in mind the never fully revealed mystery that surrounds this...

The vain attempt to reconcile knowledge, expressed in philosophical, theological, artistic, and scientific forms, with the harshness of history characterizes the history of the twelfth century.On the one hand, there are magnificent examples, such as the Norman cultural renaissance of Sicily under Roger II, up to the great intellectual peaks of Anselm of Aosta, Peter Abelard, and Averroes. On the other, there are the eternal imperial struggles against the Papacy or the emerging commu...

The great power of human culture and knowledge, expressed in multiple aspects of daily life and speculative reflection, did not seem sufficient to stem the violence of arms and the prevalence of war in a century, the eighth, which saw the peak of the Islamic Caliphate and the Lombard kingdom's expansion, while an intense unifying drive attempted to create a new Empire after centuries of fragmentation.This dichotomy underpinned the triple vicissitudes of various families who, from on...

Most of mathematics is presented in this book, starting from the basic and elementary concepts to probing the more complex and advanced areas.Mathematics is approached both from a theoretical point of view, expounding theorems and definitions of each particular type, and on a practical level, going on to solve more than 1,000 exercises.The approach to mathematics is given by progressive knowledge, exposing the various chapters in a logical order so that the reader can build a...
