El viaje vertical

Existe el viaje circular, el del retorno al lugar de origen que describe la «Odisea». Pero también existe el viaje sin retorno, la odisea rectilínea y sin Ítaca que transforma a un individuo que ya no regresa a casa. Dentro de este segundo apartado debe incluirse la original modalidad del viaje vertical que es el que, tanto en lo geográfico como en lo vital, emprende el protagonista de esta novela, el septuagenario Federico Mayol —hombre de negocios, aficionado al póker, nacionalista catalán— cuando al día siguiente de celebrar sus bodas de oro se ve sorprendente y absurdamente obligado por su mujer a dejar para siempre el domicilio conyugal. Como siempre en Enrique Vila-Matas, pululan los fantasmas de la vejez, la soledad, la locura y centellea el dilema entre supervivencia y suicidio. En esta ocasión en forma de un «viaje vertical» que es, por su trayectoria geográfica (de Barcelona a Oporto para bajar a Lisboa y después descender a Madeira y finalmente sumergirse en un extrañísimo destino final), una novela atlántica y al mismo tiempo la historia de una iniciación a la cultura, es decir, la clásica novela de aprendizaje, de no ser porque su protagonista tiene una edad en la que generalmente ya nadie aprende nada. Y al fondo de toda la historia, el drama de una generación de españoles que vio truncada su formación cultural y las libertades republicanas por la guerra civil y los años de barbarie que siguieron. De Enrique Vila-Matas se ha dicho que es «uno de los fenómenos más curiosos, originales y seductores de la narrativa española de nuestros días» (Rafael Conte, «ABC»), que está inmerso en la «delicada operación de preservar el sentido en el centro mismo del sinsentido, o mejor dicho: de devolverle a éste su íntima coherencia con una maestría que hace de él un autor insustituible» (Ignacio Echevarría, «El País») y de quien puede afirmarse que es «nuestro más popular escritor en América Latina» (J. A. Masoliver Ródenas, «La Vanguardia») o, como ha escrito Juan Forn en «Página 12» de Buenos Aires: «El mejor escritor de la España actual para una secta cada vez mayor de fanáticos desperdigados por el mundo: de Estocolmo a Veracruz, de París a Cabo Verde, de Lisboa a Praga, de Varsovia a Buenos Aires».

Error humano

Compendio de crónicas, retratos de estrellas e historias íntimas, Error humano nos permite entrever el insólito mundo del autor y nos invita a destapar algunas de las realidades más sórdidas que alimentan sus novelas. Destacan en este universo Palahniuk el capítulo «Combate de cosechadoras», una crónica sobre la América profunda donde se mezclan el absurdo y la aberración, el retrato de un Marilyn Manson que habla sin tapujos de sí mismo a través de una sesión de tarot o la curiosa descripción del rodaje de El club de la lucha (adaptación de la novela que llevó a la fama al autor), en la que se habla del potenciador de labios de Brad Pitt.

Esta antología de anécdotas habla de unos actos violentos que se propagan como una infección urbana y silenciosa de rabia…


Physics: New Frontiers

In the world of physics, very little in the universe is what it first appears to be. And science fiction has imagined some pretty wild ideas about how the universe could work – from hidden extra dimensions in Interstellar to life as a mental projection in The Matrix. But these imaginings seem downright tame compared with the mind-bending science now coming out of physics and astronomy, and in this eBook, Physics: New Frontiers, we look at the strange and fascinating discoveries shaping (and reshaping) the field today. In the world of astrophysics, the weirdness begins at the moment of creation. In “The Black Hole at the Beginning of Time,” the authors discuss theories of what might have come before the big bang. Could our 3-D universe have sprung from the formation of a black hole in a 4-D cosmos? The math says: maybe. Later, in “The Giant Bubbles of the Milky Way,” the authors describe massive structures dubbed “Fermi bubbles” at its center – structures that no one noticed until recently. Technological innovations make much of this new science possible, as we see again in “Neutrinos at the Ends of the Earth,” where 5,000-odd sensors frozen deep within a cubic kilometer of ice in Antarctica aim to catch neutrinos in order to study distant cosmic phenomena. Scientists are also dissecting molecules with the most powerful x-ray laser in the world, as explored in “The Ultimate X-ray Machine.” Even our most fundamental notions of what reality is are up for debate, as examined in “Does the Multiverse Really Exist?” and the aptly named “What Is Real?” in which the authors question whether particles are indeed material things at all. While all of this abstraction might seem like a fun exercise in mental gymnastics, living things must also abide by the laws of physics, which, according to “The Limits of Intelligence,” may prevent our brains from evolving further. Then again, as we’ve learned, things could be different than they appear...

The Book of Answers: Alignment, Autonomy, and Affiliation in Social Interaction (Foundations of Human Interaction)

Imagine for a moment the only way to confirm a yes-no question was by saying Yeah. How different would this make our communication? Relying on a large corpus of naturally occurring recordings of spontaneous social interaction, this book explores all of the ways that we confirm questions in our everyday social lives. Tanya Stivers analyzes what these different ways of responding allow us to do that is unique to each answer type. When do we answer with Yeah rather than He is, for instance; or when do we use more complicated forms of confirming? This information provides us with the basic response possibility space. From that point we can examine what the range of responses, in particular answers, tells us about what is important to us in managing social relationships through social interaction. The book explains that we can conceptualize the response possibility space as having three dimensions: alignment, autonomy, and affiliation. Speakers rely on the details of their response to position themselves at a particular point in that three-dimensional space, sometimes accepting trade-offs among the dimensions to achieve a stance that is higher in alignment and autonomy and lower in affiliation or higher in affiliation and autonomy but lower in alignment. The Book of Answers uses real-life conversations to find hidden patterns in how we do things together such as reach decisions, tell stories, or arrive at agreement or disagreement. Delving into the science of how we talk, this book investigates what those patterns tell us about human communication and our social lives.

Now, in her most emotionally powerful story yet, she explores the intimate landscape of a troubled marriage with this provocative and timely portrait of a husband and wife, in love and at war. All marriages have a breaking point.

As a mother, it agonizes Jolene to leave her family, but as a solider she has always understood the true meaning of duty. In her letters home, she paints a rose-colored version of her life on the front lines, shielding her family from the truth. But war will change Jolene in ways that none of them could have foreseen. When tragedy strikes, Michael must face his darkest fear and fight a battle of his own---for everything that matters to his family.At once a profoundly honest look at modern marriage and a dramatic exploration of the toll war takes on an ordinary American family, Home Front is a story of love, loss, heroism, honor, and ultimately, hope.  Review“Hannah masterfully details the unraveling of a family.” —Associated Press on Night Road“Kristin Hannah is back in top form with…Night Road.

Perché l'America

Basta introdurre un elemento inaspettato, spostare di lato lo sguardo, immaginare un esito imprevisto, e la realtà di ogni giorno esplode, rivelando possibilità inattese. È l’esercizio di chi scrive romanzi e racconti: costruire un mondo nuovo a partire da quello che abbiamo davanti agli occhi, inserirvi dei personaggi, ambientarvi delle storie. Ma quando la fantasia sa spingersi senza timori in territori inconsueti, può a volte illuminare il nostro presente, o lasciarci intuire il futuro. È quanto accade in questa raccolta di racconti di uno scrittore giovane e originale, che adora la libertà della letteratura e il gioco dell’invenzione narrativa. Matthew Baker ha uno sguardo che scruta nelle emozioni, nelle paure, nei dubbi degli individui che fronteggiano le sorprese e le scelte a loro imposte dalla vita. Può trattarsi di un ragazzo che annuncia alla famiglia di voler rinunciare al proprio corpo e trasferire se stesso nel server di un computer, lasciando alla madre il dovere di creare una nuova dimensione dell’amore filiale. Oppure sono le disavventure di una giovane coppia che cerca disperatamente uno sponsor (in una società in cui tutto è sponsorizzato, persino l’università di Harvard o la Casa Bianca) per riuscire a pagare le spese del proprio matrimonio; o è il ritratto di un rito doloroso che chiede agli anziani di organizzare la propria morte così da non essere di peso alla società. Con occhio tagliente Baker passa dal naturalismo al surreale, dalla satira alla sperimentazione. La sua scrittura, nella forma come nei contenuti, evoca scrittori come Jorge Luis Borges e Shirley Jackson, e si affianca alle narrazioni contemporanee più singolari e innovative, da Margaret Atwood a Michel Houellebecq, da Friday Black a Black Mirror. I suoi sono racconti spiazzanti, toccanti, ironici, ma possiedono anche la sincerità esuberante e assoluta dei manga giapponesi. Ci trasportano in un’America tormentata da dilemmi insolubili, e come spesso è accaduto nelle pagine della sua letteratura, quell’America parla anche di noi.

Not at all.

An Academy at the Court of the Tsars: Greek Scholars and Jesuit Education in Early Modern Russia

The first formally organized educational institution in Russia was established in 1685 by two Greek hieromonks, Ioannikios and Sophronios Leichoudes. Like many of their Greek contemporaries in the seventeenth century, the brothers acquired part of their schooling in colleges of post-Renaissance Italy under a precise copy of the Jesuit curriculum. When they created a school in Moscow, known as the Slavo-Greco-Latin Academy, they emulated the structural characteristics, pedagogical methods, and program of studies of Jesuit prototypes.In this original work, Nikolaos A. Chrissidis analyzes the academy's impact on Russian educational practice and situates it in the contexts of Russian-Greek cultural relations and increased contact between Russia and Western Europe in the seventeenth century. Chrissidis demonstrates that Greek academic and cultural influences on Russia in the second half of the seventeenth century were Western in character, though Orthodox in doctrinal terms. He also shows that Russian and Greek educational enterprises were part of the larger European pattern of Jesuit academic activities that impacted Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox educational establishments and curricular choices.An Academy at the Court of the Tsars is the first study of the Slavo-Greco-Latin Academy in English and the only one based on primary sources in Russian, Church Slavonic, Greek, and Latin. It will interest scholars and students of early modern Russian and Greek history, of early modern European intellectual history and the history of science, of Jesuit education, and of Eastern Orthodox history and culture.

The Werewolf's Christmas Wish (Nocturne Falls)

Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town where Halloween is celebrated 365 days a year. The tourists think it's all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better.Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.Bridget Merrow has almost everything a werewolf could wish for. And it’s not that her awesome family and popular business aren’t enough – she just wants someone to share it all with this Christmas. Too bad the someone she wants doesn’t want her. Or does he?**


Bellefleur

A wealthy and notorious clan, the Bellefleurs live in a region not unlike the Adirondacks, in an enormous mansion on the shores of mythic Lake Noir. They own vast lands and profitable businesses, they employ their neighbors, and they influence the government. A prolific and eccentric group, they include several millionaires, a mass murderer, a spiritual seeker who climbs into the mountains looking for God, a wealthy noctambulist who dies of a chicken scratch.Bellefleur traces the lives of several generations of this unusual family. At its center is Gideon Bellefleur and his imperious, somewhat psychic, very beautiful wife, Leah, their three children (one with frightening psychic abilities), and the servants and relatives, living and dead, who inhabit the mansion and its environs. Their story offers a profound look at the world's changeableness, time and eternity, space and soul, pride and physicality versus love. Bellefleur is an allegory of caritas versus cupiditas,...

“If the phrase ‘woman of letters’ existed, [Joyce Carol Oates] would be, foremost in this country, entitled to it.”—John Updike, The New YorkerAs powerful and relevant today as it was on its initial publication, them chronicles the tumultuous lives of a family living on the edge of ruin in the Detroit slums, from the 1930s to the 1967 race riots. Praised by The Nation for her “potent, life-gripping imagination,” Joyce Carol Oates traces the aspirations and struggles of Loretta Wendall, a dreamy young mother who is filled with regret by the age of sixteen, and the subsequent destinies of her children, Maureen and Jules, who must fight to survive in a world of violence and danger.Winner of the National Book Award, them is an enthralling novel about love, class, race, and the inhumanity of urban life. It is, raves The New York Times, “a superbly accomplished...


Sourland

A gripping and moving new collection of stories that reimagines the meaning of loss—through often unexpected and violent means.Joyce Carol Oates is not only one of our most important novelists and literary critics, she is also an unparalleled master of the short story. Sourland—sixteen previously uncollected stories that explore how the power of violence, loss, and grief shape both the psyche and the soul—shows us an author work-ing at the height of her powers.With lapidary precision and an unflinching eye, Oates maps the surprising contours of “ordinary” life. From a desperate man who dons a jack-o’-lantern head as a prelude to a most curious sort of courtship, to a “story of a stabbing” many times recounted in the life of a lonely girl; from a beguiling young woman librarian whose amputee state attracts a married man and father, to a girl hopelessly in love with her renegade, incarcerated cousin; from a professor’s wife who finds herself tragically isolated at a party in her own house, to the concluding title story of an unexpectedly redemptive love rooted in radical aloneness and isolation, each story in Sourland resonates beautifully with Oates’s trademark fascination for the unpredictable amid the prosaic—the comming-ling of sexual love and violence, the tumult of family life—and shines with her predilection for dark humor and her gift for voice.


Solstice

An engrossing early novel from Joyce Carol Oates's earlier novels explores a fraught and perilous relationship between two womenOriginally published in 1985, Solstice is the gripping story of Monica Jensen and Sheila Trask, two young women who are complete opposites yet find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other. Monica is a shy, modest, and recently divorced school teacher while Sheila is a worldly, sophisticated, and nocturnal painter driven by the needs of her art. Over the months, their friendship deepens, first to love and then to a near-fatal obsession.Engaging, dark, and mysterious, Solstice is Joyce Carol Oates's psychological masterpiece of friendship and fixation.


The Collector of Hearts

In these twenty-five gothic horror tales from the master of the short story, Joyce Carol Oates explores the waking nightmares of life with eyes wide-open, facing what the bravest of us fear the most. From the Kafka-esque "Scars" to a ballad like tale of erotic obsession in "The Crossing, " to the mother-daughter bond given a fatal twist in "Death Mother" the stories in The Collector of Hearts illuminate the mysteries of the human experience -- both intellectual and visceral. It is a stunning and richly diverse anthology of mood and menace -- haunting, elegiac, and compulsively readable.

Blood Mask

Awealthy, charismatic, and controversial "benefactress of art," Drewe Hildebrand disappears from her estate on the Hudson River, seemingly abducted in the night. Her young niece, Marta, found in a desolate wooded area close by, is too traumatized to describe the abductors. A provocative exhibit of avant-garde "bio-art" that includes a blood mask of Drewe Hildebrand is disrupted by protestors.In this, her third suspense novel, Lauren Kelly explores the startling world of "bio-artists" and their admirers, examining the intermingling of private, inscrutable motives with public masks of dominance and power; the ways in which spiritual yearnings may be transformed into worldly, erotic appetites that consume the innocent.

The (Other) You

A powerful reckoning over the people we might have been if we'd chosen a different path, from a master of the short storyIn this stirring, reflective collection of short stories, Joyce Carol Oates ponders alternate destinies: the other lives we might have led if we'd made different choices. An accomplished writer returns to her childhood home of Yewville, but the homecoming stirs troubled thoughts about the person she might have been if she'd never left. A man in prison contemplates the gravity of his irreversible act. A student's affair with a professor results in a pregnancy that alters the course of her life forever. Even the experience of reading is investigated as one that can create a profound transformation: "You could enter another time, the time of the book."The (Other) You is an arresting and incisive vision into these alternative realities, a collection that ponders the constraints we all face given the circumstances of our birth and...

The Flow: Rivers, Water and Wildness

A visit to the rapid where she lost a cherished friend unexpectedly reignites Amy-Jane Beer's love of rivers setting her on a journey of natural, cultural and emotional discovery. On New Year's Day 2012, Amy-Jane Beer's beloved friend Kate set out with a group of others to kayak the River Rawthey in Cumbria. Kate never came home, and her death left her devoted family and friends bereft and unmoored. Returning to visit the Rawthey years later, Amy realises how much she misses the connection to the natural world she always felt when on or close to rivers, and so begins a new phase of exploration. The Flow is a book about water, and, like water, it meanders, cascades and percolates through many lives, landscapes and stories. From West Country torrents to Levels and Fens, rocky Welsh canyons, the salmon highways of Scotland and the chalk rivers of the Yorkshire Wolds, Amy-Jane follows springs, streams and rivers to explore tributary themes of wildness and wonder, loss and healing, mythology and history, cyclicity and transformation. Threading together places and voices from across Britain, The Flow is a profound, immersive exploration of our personal and ecological place in nature.

일상적이지만 절대적인 과학철학지식 50

과학이 발달하면서 인간은 달에 갈 수 있게 되었고, 속수무책으로 당하던 불치병에서 벗어나게 되었으며, 인간의 능력을 뛰어넘는 기계를 만들어내는 단계에 와 있다. 과학기술의 성공 때문에, 그리고 과학이 차지하게 된 지배력 때문에 더욱더 철학이 필요해졌다. 과학자들의 주장은 언제나 옳을까? 과학은 우리에게 삶의 모든 면을 거짓 없이 알려줄까? 과학적 발견에 어떤 윤리적인 걸림돌이 있을까? 이런 질문이 떠오르기 시작했다면 이미 과학철학에 발을 담근 것이다.과학의 발전을 이끌고 빚어낸 핵심 개념과 이론들을 이해하기 쉽고 간결한 용어로써 개괄적으로 설명하고, 아직까지 해소되지 않은 논쟁들을 살펴본다. 논쟁의 어느 한쪽 편을 들기보다 전반적인 상황을 설명하고 독자들에게 스스로 생각할 기회를 제공한다. 또 플라톤이나 아리스토텔레스 같은 고대 그리스 철학자들부터 파이어아벤트, 칼 포퍼, 하이데거 등 현대 철학자에 이르는 철학적 질문들이 자연과 과학에 귀중한 통찰을 제공하며, 오늘날에도 여전히 큰 영향을 미치고 있음을 깨닫게 될 것이다.

부자가 되려면 부자를 만나라

현재의 부동산 시장에서 생애 첫 집 마련에 목말라 있는 실수요자들, 이제 막 부동산 투자에 입문하려고 하는 사람들, 부동산을 은퇴준비를 위한 투자의 수단으로 삼은 사람들에게 올바른 투자의 길을 안내해준다. 호황과 불황 속에서 부동산 투자에 나섰던 여러 사례 속에서 갈피를 잡지 못한 부동산 투자의 방향성을 찾을 수 있다.누구나 부자가 되고 싶어 한다. 그래서 많은 사람들이 종잣돈을 모아 돈을 벌 수 있는 재테크를 하려고 노력한다. 주식은 어려워하고 실물자산에 관심이 많은 사람들이 선택하는 것이 바로 부동산이다. 부동산은 잘만 활용하면 노후준비를 위한 유용한 재테크 방법이 될 수 있다.중소기업에 다니며 빠듯하게 모은 돈으로 소형아파트 투자에 성공한 30대 후반의 직장인, 노후준비 자금을 묶어두기보다는 상가 투자를 통해 이익을 창출한 60대 어머니, 소비에만 열을 올리다 아이를 낳고 뒤늦게 투자 전선에 나선 30대 맞벌이 부부, 뒤늦게 부동산 공부의 재미를 알아가는 40대 후반의 학부모 등 다양한 투자자의 사례가 소개된다.마지막 장에서는 앞에서 다양한 투자의 사례를 통해 저자가 발견해낸 ‘성공하는 상권의 비밀’을 알려준다. 그것은 바로 슈퍼상권이다. 유동인구가 많다고 해서, 핫플레이스라고 해서 무조건 투자에 성공하는 것은 아니다. 안전한 투자를 원하는 투자자들을 위해 성공률 100%의 슈퍼상권을 알려준다.

이기는 취업

취업 준비생들의 고민에 속 시원히 답해주기 위해 '실전형 취업 전문가' 김나이가 나섰다. 저자는 J.P.모간, 현대카드, 한국투자증권 등 대기업과 금융기관, 외국계 회사 등에서 10여 년간 근무했고, 현재는 카이스트 경영대학, 이화여자대학교, 서강대학교 등에서 1년에 300명 이상의 학생을 1:1로 만나고 있다.많은 취업 준비생들이 "자신에게는 자기소개서에 쓸 만한 특별한 경험이 없다"고 말한다. 그러나 누구에게나 자신만의 강점이 있고, 강점을 강조할 수 있는 방법도 존재한다. 경험을 제대로 찾고, 활용하지 못할 뿐이다. 이 책은 '경험의 오각트리' 양식과 구체적인 질문을 통해 회사·직무와 관련 있는 경험을 도출하고, 실제로 연결 지을 수 있도록 도와준다.경험의 오각트리란 경험을 해본 이유, 구체적인 활동 내용, 일을 수행한 방법, 주변으로 받은 피드백과 성과, 경험을 통해 배운 가치 등을 적어봄으로써 경험과 회사.직무와의 연관성을 도출하는 작업이다. 경험을 어떻게 정리해야 할지 막막해하는 이들을 위해 오각트리 구성을 위한 질문도 함께 준비했다.동아리 회장 경험은 '구체적으로 어떤 주제의 행사를 기획했는가?', '리더로서 가장 어려웠던 점은 무엇인가?', '행사를 어떤 방식으로 홍보했는가?', '결과적으로 행사에 몇 명이나 참여했는가?' 등의 질문을 던져보면 구체화시킬 수 있다.

Lightning Strike

Aurora is a small town nestled in the ancient forest alongside the shores of Minnesota’s Iron Lake. In the summer of 1963, it is the whole world to twelve-year-old Cork O’Connor, its rhythms as familiar as his own heartbeat. But when Cork stumbles upon the body of a man he revered hanging from a tree in an abandoned logging camp, it is the first in a series of events that will cause him to question everything he took for granted about his hometown, his family, and himself.Cork’s father, Liam O’Connor, is Aurora’s sheriff and it is his job to confirm that the man’s death was the result of suicide, as all the evidence suggests. In the shadow of his father’s official investigation, Cork begins to look for answers on his own. Together, father and son face the ultimate test of choosing between what their heads tell them is true and what their hearts know is right.In this masterful story of a young man and a town on the cusp of change, beloved novelist William Kent Krueger shows that some mysteries can be solved even as others surpass our understanding.

화학, 알아두면 사는 데 도움이 됩니다

100% 천연 제품은 이 세상에 존재하지 않는다. 화학은 이미 우리 생활 속에 깊이 침투해 응용되고 있다. 설거지할 때 사용하는 세정제, 슈퍼에서 파는 음료수, 매일 같이 사용하는 샴푸와 보디클렌저, 메이크업 제품, 옷 등 모두 화학과 밀접하게 관련 있다.화학공학 박사이자 화장품 회사 CEO인 저자가 ‘일상생활 속 화학’을 주제로 연재한 칼럼을 한 권의 책으로 묶은 것이다. 팬페이지가 생길 만큼 인기를 끌었던 칼럼 중에서 유용하고 재미있는 화학 상식들을 가려 뽑았다.

Aerospace Polymeric Materials

Inamuddin, Tariq A. Altalhi, Sayed Mohammed Adnan

This book discusses polymeric and composite materials for aerospace industries and discusses some general qualities of aviation materials, e.g., strength, density, malleability, ductility, elasticity, toughness, brittleness, fusibility, conductivity, and thermal expansion. Metals and alloys have so far been best able to utilize their qualities almost to the maximum. The latest advancements in polymers and composites have opened up a new area of conjecture about how to modify airplanes and shuttles to be more polymeric and less metallic. Polymeric materials have been the focus of exploration due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, low cost, and a greater degree of freedom in strengthening the needed qualities. Strength, density, malleability, ductility, elasticity, toughness, brittleness, fusibility, conductivity, and thermal expansion are some of the general qualities of aviation materials that are taken into account. Aerospace Polymeric Materials discusses a wide range of methods with an outline of polymeric and composite materials for aerospace applications. Among the range of topics discussed are aerogel properties; polymeric welding; polymeric reinforcement, their properties, and manufacturing; conducting polymer composites; electroactive polymeric composites; and polymer nanocomposite dielectrics. In addition, a summary of self-healing materials is also presented, including their significance, manufacturing methods, properties, and applications. Audience This is a useful guide for engineers, materials scientists, researchers, and postgraduate students from industry, academia, and laboratories that are linked to polymeric composites.

일상적이지만 절대적인 양자역학지식 50

양자역학은 원자의 구조와 힘의 본질 등 눈에 보이지 않는 아주 작은 세계를 다루는 학문이다. 하지만 원자보다 작은 세계에서는 앞뒤가 맞지 않는 일들이 자주 일어나 많은 과학자들을 당혹스럽게 했다. 파동처럼 움직이던 빛이 어느 순간 입자처럼 행동하거나, 갑자기 나타났다 순식간에 사라지는 입자들이 그런 예다. 이처럼 과학자들도 골머리를 앓는 학문이다 보니, 양자역학은 난해하다는 생각에 지레 겁을 먹는 경우가 다반사다.이처럼 직관적으로 파악할 수 없는 양자역학의 세계를 좀 더 쉽게 이해할 수 있도록 도와주는 친절한 안내서다. 저자는 양자역학이 발전해온 순서에 따라 이 분야의 선구자들의 해결하기 위해 붙들고 씨름했던 문제들을 하나하나 되짚어본다. 에너지에 관한 연구부터 힉스 입자의 발견까지, 쟁쟁한 물리학자들의 이야기와 그들의 연구를 찬찬히 따라가다 보면 양자역학에 대한 두려움은 어느덧 사라질 것이다.

The City Underground

In the early twentieth century, after Ireland’s 1916 Rising, British ruthlessness transformed a widespread, though not universal, wish for democratically achieved Home Rule into support for full independence and the violence that seemed the only way of getting it. Only in the north-east were such views in the minority among Irish people. By 1919 Republican politicians had ousted Home Rulers. The Volunteers of 1916 became the Irish Republican Army; a guerrilla war had started that would last three years. It was brutal on both sides, but nothing was more counter-productive than the brutality directed at the civilian population by British irregular forces, the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries. Despite Britain’s military might, the war could not be won. The IRA could not win either; yet could not be defeated. A truce in 1921 led to a Treaty that gave twenty-six counties of Ireland a kind of independence, while six Ulster counties remained in the United Kingdom. The Irish Free State retained the British King as head of state along with other ties to Britain, many of little consequence. The Treaty was signed in London by a group of Irish leaders, including Michael Collins. The president of the would-be Irish state, Éamon de Valera, was not there. When Collins returned, de Valera rejected the Treaty. After losing the Treaty debate in Ireland’s parliament, the Dáil, he and others walked out. They accepted neither partition nor ties to Britain.  ---These events left wounds that were slow to heal. In 1941 the scars were raw, though little spoken of. They play a significant part in this story. They shape the nature of Irish neutrality in the Second World War. If most of these wounds have healed since then, not all have. The scar of partition remains, a hundred years on. The violence that this created, through much of my lifetime, has faded for the most part. But whether it is done is an open question.
