Land ho! Discover what the Age of Exploration was all about in this wonderful addition to the bestselling Who HQ series! Before the fifteenth century, European sailors were unsure what waited for them beyond their well-known travel routes around the Mediterranean Sea, so they kept within sight of land. But all of that changed after Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal started sending ships down the coast in the hope of finding a sea route to India and Africa. This was the beginning of a giant leap toward understanding what the globe actually looked like. Certain European nations grew rich and powerful from the New World gold and lands they claimed, while advanced, long-standing civilizations like the Aztecs and Incas were destroyed in the cruelest of ways. This book also features the fun black-and-white illustrations and engaging 16-page photo insert that readers have come love about the What Was? series!

“More than 60 years ago,” remembered Mr. Stvarnik, “I read the books From Ancient Philosophy to Modern Science of Atoms by prof. dr. Ivan Supek, and the Images from the Lives of Great Scientists by prof. dr. Milutin Milankovic, and for me these are still the most beautiful scientific texts.” From that time, as a much loving hobby, Mr. Stvarnik has studied biographies of great scientists. “I have grown up in an atheistic country,” he once said, “and therefore it was a surprise to find that there were very few atheistic or agnostic scientists; the majority of them were some kind of believers in God. Actually, a good number of the greatest scientific minds were or are Bible-believing Christians.” That realization, along with discoveries of some deliberate distortions of historical facts that made certain Bible-believing scientists look as having an atheistic bent, prompted writing a book The Portraits of the Great Bible-believing Scientists that was published in Croatian and in Serbian languages. Now he has written the same in English, but since many years elapsed from the mentioned publications, he enriched the text with new findings and added 12 new portraits into the book.

From the author of Inca-tastic Tales comes a new collection of short stories: Jungle-tastic Tales! Are you brave enough to join Yacumama, the Amazon's most humongous and powerful snake, on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Amazon Region in South America? You are? Fab! Then grab your camera, mosquito net and raincoat, and LET'S GO! You're gonna travel through thousands of years of history and culture (a lot of which not many grown-ups know about!). For example, did you know...? - There were once huge cities in the Amazon rainforest. - The Amazon is home to millions of different species of animals and plants. - The first city in Peru to get electric street lights was in the Amazon Region. - A Premier League footballer grew up in the Ecuadorian Amazon. If that's got your interest, then jump in the canoe and we'll get started straight away. We'll start with the Ice Age and go right the way through to modern times. Oh, and Yacumama promises not to bite you! She'll be on her best behaviour. Praise for The Mysterious Helpers: "really exciting" "a good yarn" "I believe everyone should read this beautiful story."

Una exploración de cómo avanzamos en el conocimiento y transformamos nuestra comprensión del mundo. ¿Qué ocurre cuando el conocimiento científico choca con nuestras creencias más profundas? ¿Qué buscaban grandes científicos como Newton, capaz de revolucionar la física y las matemáticas, en la alquimia y la cábala? ¿Cómo explicar que físicos como Steven Weinberg o Stephen Hawking declararan la guerra a la filosofía mientras construían, sin saberlo, nuevas corrientes filosóficas? Pensamiento Científico nos sumerge en estas paradojas y en otras igualmente fascinantes. Rafael Alemañ Berenguer explora los momentos en que la razón científica encuentra sus mayores retos: cuando un sistema complejo crea propiedades inexplicables a partir de sus partes, cuando la mente intenta comprender el infinito, cuando la ciencia se enfrenta al misterio de la consciencia que la crea. El viaje nos lleva desde Le Dantec, el provocador embriólogo que acuñó el término «cientificismo», hasta Gerald Holton descubriendo los patrones ocultos que guían a los investigadores. Nos muestra cómo Thomas Henry Huxley defendió el valor cultural de las ciencias físicas y por qué la tensión entre conocimiento y creencia sigue viva hoy. Descubrimos la paradoja de los cerebros conscientes estudiándose a sí mismos, el enigma de la complejidad cuando las matemáticas encuentran sus límites, y el intrincado camino que va del laboratorio a las decisiones que transforman la sociedad. Un recorrido por los territorios donde la razón científica encuentra sus mayores desafíos y sus descubrimientos más sorprendentes. Una exploración de cómo avanzamos en el conocimiento y transformamos nuestra comprensión del mundo... de cómo construimos la ciencia.
