Breve historia del saber Este año he leído dos breves historias. La primera se trata de Breve historia del saber, de Charles Van Doren. A los más cinéfilos les resultará conocido este nombre, pues fue el protagonista de la película "Quizz Show", de Robert Redford, protagonizada por Ralph Fiennes (El paciente inglés) y Robert Morrow (Doctor en Alaska). Van Doren era un joven profesor de universidad que fue tentado por una cadena de televisión para participar en un concurso de preguntas. Lo convirtieron en una celebridad a base de pasarle las respuestas. Pensaba que se trataba de una historia inventada, pero fue realidad. Lo que no sabía es dónde había terminado Van Doren: de director de la Enciclopedia Británica. "Breve historia del saber" es un titánico esfuerzo para hilvanar la evolución del pensamiento humano desde los tiempos prehistóricos hasta nuestros días, e incluyendo en el saber a la ciencia, el arte y la política.
El libro está escrito en un lenguaje más o menos sencillo, pero las ideas que trata de transmitir, las ideas que han transformado a la humanidad, no son para un público general, así que muchos pasajes requieren segundas y atentas lecturas. Otra de las características del libro es que el autor "se moja": el libro no es una mera exposición de ideas, sino que en muchas ocasiones Van Doren da su opinión (a veces certeras y en otras discutibles). Los pasajes a subrayar son tantos que si, como yo, eres de los que les gusta cuidar de los libros, cómprate dos copias. En definitiva, una lectura altamente recomendable para los visitantes habituales de esta bitácora. Y es que, en mi opinión, el ambicioso objetivo del libro se cumple con creces: da una perspectiva única de quiénes somos y de dónde venimos (aunque menos conseguido es el a dónde vamos).
De lo mejorcito que he leído.
Breve historia de casi todo La traducción del título "Breve historia del saber" me resultó curiosa, porque el original es "History of Knowlegde" (La historia del conocimiento), y de breve no tiene nada. Buscando en la Red, me topé con las reseñas de Breve historia de casi todo, de Bill Bryson, como por ejemplo la que hizo Javier Armentia. Una de las cosas que me llamaron la atención leyendo los comentarios sobre este libro, aquí y allá, es que además de haberse convertido en un exitazo de ventas, la gente lo leía una y otra vez. ¿Cómo era eso posible en un libro sobre ciencia? Así que lo compré y lo he ido disfrutando a ratos.
El libro de Bryson es muy diferente al de Charles Van Doren, aunque sus esfuerzos son casi igual de titánicos. "Breve historia de casi todo" hace un repaso al desarrollo de la ciencia, y explica cómo hemos llegado a saberlo... bueno, casi todo. El libro está dividido en 30 capítulos donde nos ofrece muchísimos datos sobre diferentes temas: desde la cosmología, la paleontología, la geología, etc, etc. Bryson usa un estilo desenfadado, y nos relata las aventuras y desventuras de muchos personajes que a veces llegaron a descubrir cosas interesantes, y en otras, murieron en el intento (el estilo me recordó mucho a La aventura del Universo, de Timothy Ferris). Otra de las firmas de Bryson es realizar muy buenas comparaciones entre magnitudes científicas y objetos habituales.
Desde luego, no se me ocurre una mejor introducción a la ciencia... y la de Asimov solo la pondría a la par. Con una excepción: el libro sirve de introducción, pero es tan denso que se aleja un poco de lo que considero divulgación científica efectiva. Cumple con creces su objetivo de interesar a la gente por la ciencia, pero si realmente quieres aprender, tendrás que buscar otros textos donde se desarrollan mejor los conceptos. En mi caso, además, tuve la fortuna de adquirir la edición ilustrada y -aunque cara-, se disfruta aún más. Finalmente, resulta refrescante y hasta sorprendente que tal éxito editorial provenga de alguien que no se había acercado hasta ese momento a la ciencia, Bill Bryson. Un buen toque de atención a los divulgadores científicos (sí, tú, Hawking, date por aludido ;)
Si piensas en libros para regalar estas fiestas, aquí tienes dos buenas opciones.
Teresa: Obviamente se trata de una decisión de márketing editorial, pero hacía hincapié en lo de "Breve historia", que supongo que fue la razón del cambio. En mi caso, pesó más el autor y un vistazo al contenido, que el título, aunque el excelente contenido fue una grata sorpresa. En el futuro seguro que con los códigos bidimensionales para móviles, la compra a ciegas de productos será una cosa del pasado.
Me apunto los dos tÃtulos; no los conocÃa y parece que tienen buena pinta, Gracias;-) Te doy uno que la historia reescrita, además de forma muy interesante: La Doctrina del Shock, de Naomi Klein.
Txema: Gracias por la recomendación. De Naomi Klein tengo en la pila "No logo", que me lo regalaron hace un tiempo y todavía no le he echado el guante.

This is Muskan Sanj and by profession I am a Makeup artist. I am basically from Chennai and I live here with my parents. I've never been into any relationship before.
Well, I admit it I am a little old-fashioned when it comes to my dating style. I like to go for drinks and dinner on the first date. But it's all part of what makes me a gentlewoman. I am looking for someone who is always up for life's adventures but doesn’t mind staying in and watching a movie when the weather calls for it. And my dream is to be one top Chennai female escorts.
Other than that, I try to spend as much time with my family and close friends, I go to the beach a lot, sometimes even by myself. The world is overwhelming a lot of times and I find myself to be an anxious person. I get stressed out and overwhelmed so I find it therapeutic to be at the beach.
I believe in gender equality and want my men to believe in the same. Men and women are different for a good reason because we can complement each other, in a working or personal relationship. And this should not affect my Chennai female escorts job.
I am seeking someone who loves adventures as I do. Someone who is not afraid of taking risks and opportunities that comes in a way. I want my first date to be like sitting at a home watching a beautiful movie with the glass of vodka would be so romantic. I am looking for a person who can be in a long term relationship with me as I am into Chennai female escorts.
