Cosmology is in crisis. The more we discover, the more puzzling the universe appears to be. How and why are the laws of nature what they are? A philosopher and a physicist, world-renowned for their radical ideas in their fields, argue for a revolution. To keep cosmology scientific, we must replace the old view in which the universe is governed by immutable laws by a new one in which laws evolve. Then we can hope to explain them. The revolution that Roberto Mangabeira Unger and Lee Smolin propose relies on three central ideas. There is only one universe at a time. Time is real: everything in the structure and regularities of nature changes sooner or later. Mathematics, which has trouble with time, is not the oracle of nature and the prophet of science; it is simply a tool with great power and immense limitations. The argument is readily accessible to non-scientists as well as to the physicists and cosmologists whom it challenges.

During the period from Rome's Stone Age beginnings on the Tiber River to its conquest of the Italian peninsula in 264 B.C., the Romans in large measure developed the social, political, and military structure that would be the foundation of their spectacular imperial success. In this comprehensive and clearly written account, Gary Forsythe draws extensively from historical, archaeological, linguistic, epigraphic, religious, and legal evidence as he traces Rome's early development within a multicultural environment of Latins, Sabines, Etruscans, Greeks, and Phoenicians. His study charts the development of the classical republican institutions that would eventually enable Rome to create its vast empire, and provides fascinating discussions of topics including Roman prehistory, religion, and language. In addition to its value as an authoritative synthesis of current research, A Critical History of Early Rome offers a revisionist interpretation of Rome's early history through its innovative use of ancient sources. The history of this period is notoriously difficult to uncover because there are no extant written records, and because the later historiography that affords the only narrative accounts of Rome's early days is shaped by the issues, conflicts, and ways of thinking of its own time. This book provides a groundbreaking examination of those surviving ancient sources in light of their underlying biases, thereby reconstructing early Roman history upon a more solid evidentiary foundation.

Algebra is overal om ons heen en - of we dat nu beseffen of niet - hij vertegenwoordigt en beïnvloedt de wereld op veel manieren, van het aantal blaadjes aan een bloem tot de rente op je hypotheek. Bovendien kan de taal van wiskunde op zichzelf al prachtig zijn.Dit boek is een reis door de abstracte wereld van de algebra en de wiskunde. Het bevat wiskundige ideeën van over de hele wereld. Onderweg passeren namen als Pythagoras, Fibonacci, Galileo en Pascal de revue. Hoofdstuktitels als ‘Egypte, India en Perzië' en ‘De Italiaanse connectie' geven aan dat dit geen zwaar leerboek over algebra is. De wiskunde wordt niet sec gepresenteerd, maar er worden verbanden gelegd met de cultuur en de filosofie van de tijdperken waarin die stukjes wiskunde ontstonden. De auteur is docent wiskunde; hij weet hoe hij complexe stof bondig en levendig moet brengen. Deze reis door de geschiedenis van de algebra is doorspekt met anekdotes over personen, aansprekende voorbeeldopgaven en illustraties, zowel in kleur als zwart-wit. Steeds wordt in stukjes van twee pagina's een punt heel duidelijk gemaakt. De onderwerpen lopen van ‘soorten getallen' tot cryptografie. Al met al is dit geen leerboek dat veel oefening biedt, maar een heel motiverende smaakmaker voor de wiskunde.
