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...

"Once Upon a Time in America" is Sergio Leone's latest film, what the director himself defined as "my cinema".With a very troubled gestation, so much so that it took fifteen years from the first idea to the final realization, and with an overall duration much longer than the normal extension of a cinematographic film, this film turns into a discussion on time, in a way of transposing, with the infinite wisdom of those who know how to mix music and photography, scenography and color,...

This manual explains the fundamental concepts for understanding natural gas pricesIn particular, the following topics are covered:what is natural gas, what are the reference markets and prices, what are the fundamentals of gas based on production, consumption, exports and stocks, what influences the price and insights into the financial instruments available. The obvious and obvious conclusion will be that natural gas is a very particular raw material with peculiarities not f...

The travails of the third century, characterized by a profound social crisis in the Roman Empire, shaken by civil wars and constant invasions, inevitably affected the Italian family, beginning with the descendants of Numa, the imperial legate who won countless battles and would be the last witness of the Severan dynasty.In the darkest period of Rome's thousand-year history, amid usurpers and the end of patrician rule, there were key figures capable of averting collapse and restoring...

The theoretical assumptions of the following mathematical topics are presented in this book:plane geometry (elementary concepts and figures)solid geometrynote to non-Euclidean geometries.In addition, the main applications of these topics are mentioned and some exercises are carried out.

The pursuit of the vain hopes of success and the total invisibility of entire segments of the population are the two complementary visions that characterize the protagonists of this novel.Seven stories, separated in places and environments, meet only on a chronological level, leaving each immersed in anonymity, the only possible solution between an unattainable affirmation and a tragedy not consonant with the characteristics of contemporary society.

The theoretical assumptions of the following mathematical topics are presented in this book:equations and inequalities of the first degreeequations and inequalities of the second degreesystems of equations and inequalitiesirrational equations and inequalitiesequations and inequalities with the formparametric equations and inequalitiesEach topic is covered by emphasizing practical applications and solving some significant exercises.

In this book, the great history of physics discoveries is traced, starting from the scientific revolution of Galileo and Newton to the physics of today and the near future.The understanding of physics is approached both from a theoretical point of view, expounding the definitions of each particular field and the assumptions underlying each theory, and on a practical level, going on to solve more than 350 exercises related to physics problems of all sorts.The approach to physi...
