Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Drawing on a wide spectrum of topics-including politics, cosmology, the arts, philosophy and religious beliefs, 1001 Ideas That Changed the Way We Think traces the exponential growth of human knowledge across the centuries. Ranging from the ancient wisdom of Confucius and Plato to the cutting-edge theories taking shape in the twenty-first century, this book offers a wealth of stimulation and amusement for any reader with a lively and curious mind. This richly informative and entertaining book provides a wide variety of answers to those eternal questions: How was the universe created and what is the place of humans within it? How should a person live? And how can we build a just society? But 1001 Ideas That Changed the Way We Think also includes a host of speculations that are remarkable for their sheer weirdness-from the concept of the transmigration of souls to parallel universes and the paradoxes of time travel (what happens if you travel back in time and kill your own grandfather?). Readers will discover how the Greek philosopher Zeno 'proved' a flying arrow never moves and the mathematical proof of the existence of life in other galaxies. The inspiring ideas explored range from Gandhi's theory of civil disobedience to Mary Wollstonecraft's groundbreaking advocacy of women's rights. A wide variety of cultural movements are also covered, including Neoclassicism, Surrealism and Postmodernism.…

Orig.-Pp. Condizione: Gut. First Printing. 123 pages, mostly ill. Very good copy, backside with some scratches. - Includes a poster. - Laetitia, whose name means "joy" in Latin, spent a happy childhood in rural Normandy, "I lived for ten years close to Pont-Audemer," she says, "in absolute simplicity, in a remote house, with few neighbors. I was free to play in the river with the frogs, to play with the pigs, to laugh, to joke, to roam around in the woods. It was fantastic. Even today, I love to throw my arms around trees to embrace them. It gives me energy and makes me feel close to nature." Of both Corsican and Italian descent, Laetitia's father, Dominique Casta. grew up on the rugged isle of Corsica. When he was about eight years old, the Casta family moved from Corsica to Normandy. There Dominique met and mar- ried Line, a beautiful, unassuming woman who gave up a career in accounting to devote herself to raising their family. Their first child, a son named Jean- Baptiste, now attends the London School of Economics. Laetitia was born two years after her brother, on May 11. 1978, and twelve years later, her little sister, Marie-Ange. A creative child, Laetitia loved to draw and to write stories in school. "I was a dreamer, absentminded, and distracted. My teachers told me I was not as talent- ed as my brother. I was already insecure and stubborn as a mule, so when I heard this I withdrew even further into my private world, my bubble." She managed to emerge from her bubble around the age of twelve with the help of the Corsican determination she has learned to trust. "I just wasn't ready to grow up before then," she admits. "It was when Marie-Ange was born that I woke up. I forced myself to grow up for her because I felt she was my responsi- bility. The idea that I could be a role model for her was a great revelation for me." Another revelation was her body: "At twelve my breasts began to grow, and I had to wear a bra. But my friends did not wear them yet, and the kids at school teased me. They would sit behind me in class and pull my bra straps and laugh. I felt awkward, like a grasshopper or a giraffe, and self-conscious. I was embarrassed about my body, which was growing so rapidly. When guests came to our house, I hid under the table. Inside, I was more childlike than my body, and a glance from others intimidated me. Boys never approached me. I was always alone, watching them from a distance, but I was too afraid to say anything. I did not consider myself interesting to them." She did not discover how wrong she was until she was about fifteen. ISBN 9783283003722 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 198.…
