Longitude, by Dava Sobel

When I lived in London my dad came to visit and convinced us to go to Greenwich. We have seen the observatory museum but we were quite disappointed. It was not bad, for charity, but a lot for children. Then came the famous square where the statue that indicates the meridian we saw a little house. I asked about, was the home of the astronomer royal, then transformed into a museum. Upon entering, it was love at first sight. It tells the story of longitude, to calculate the difficulties, attempts, partial solutions, and the history of clocks. I fell in love, and the bookshop dad gave me the famous book "Longitude" by Dava Sobel. I started reading a very short time later, but I did not understand much and I let it go. In fact it is full of technical terms, and is not an easy read in the original language.
Indiana Dad is fond of mathematics, astronomy, strange mechanisms and lots of other things that I do not understand. For this reason, Indiana uncle always gives a lot of books on mathematics, astronomy, and other mechanisms strange things that do not understand. When I saw her on the library "Longitude" in Italian, I decided to try again.
The book tells the story of the calculation of longitude, which ends with becoming the history of modern watch, and their inventor, Harrison. The story is beautiful, but the book does not bear comparison with the museum in Greenwich. Come back from the museum was gasatissima: I learned a lot of interesting technical details, I understand how the various clocks Harrison, and I saw with my own eyes his genius. The book, however, tells the story very well, but it runs too much on the more technical part. I could say that "tells" the genius of Harrison, but not the shows. Some illustrations and a small appendix on the operation of the clocks would make the story very more compelling in my opinion. I realize that probably the author is not an expert, but writing something like, "Harrison decided to use diamonds to the cut-out" without explaining what it means and what is the escapement of a clock seems a bit 'useless.
In any case, I found a very good book, I just think that maybe, if the author had seen the museum in Greenwich before writing it (she herself admits to be gone in a second time) would have been even better.


PS: I just discovered that there is an illustrated version of the book, from what I understand is only available in English, can be found on Amazon.

Lost Luggage During Holidays

impotent man wanted for peaceful coexistence, Gaby Hauptmann

start with the protagonist. A beautiful woman, stunning body, which is losing its head at every living male within 2 km. Stove and charm that makes the effect on men who only want one thing from her, he decides that it should be solved at its root by eliminating the sex of his life. Puts into practice its aim through an ad in which a man tries to have a relationship in which powerless. It is a number, promising enough, until it receives a particular response and decided that his love of his life. The meeting confirmed his assumption, and it seems as if you should marry the next day, because of course he is of the same opinion. But at this point, the protagonist begins to regret his initial intentions. After a necessary pseudointernazionale intrigue (the author just can not help it), definitely a lot of petty psychology questionable (especially the views of impotence and frigidity), comes the happy ending. Dull.

The idea is not bad, but I grew so confused and stupid.
Even the protagonist is unsympathetic to me. It will not properly Claudia Schiffer, who will not turn when I walk anyone, but to me these beautiful women, beautiful, unreal perfect give a lot on my nerves (I had already spoken ). Hover placing one place to another non-issue (oh, that unfortunately, I take everyone for a prostitute .. well, my dear, the behavior that you do not know what else you could expect), he can always all right, have a lot of money and everything they want. Well, I would like to have what I need to do a hard Executioner, and not always succeed, so can not stand. Will envy? likely, but I'm not ashamed.
Then in many cases (the rest it comes to impotence) the author is an amateur psychologist sudden saying things that seem to come from the "Handbook of Small psychologist." Grandma Duck with his proverbs would prove far more profound.
But I say, it is necessary (as in this case ) cite Freud Baci? Because these authors do not write a simple story, without being pretentious, which look exactly like what it is: romance? But no, you have to be deep .... And drown in a puddle.

Every time I read a book by this author I do not like the previous one. I just need a stupid book to distract me during a difficult period and I only had this pad.

And excuse me for being so irritable, I will pass.

How To Remove Earring Backs

Dracula, Plato and Darwin, by Martin Gardner Books

During this time I am reading several books on mathematics. There are several reasons, firstly I returned to Rome for a month and I only have the well-stocked library of Dad, then they are under stress, and mathematics books are great for relaxing. There is nothing better than a good puzzle to occupy the mind and not think about everyday problems.

Martin Gardner is a myth, and his essays are as always very nice. I found a particularly happy choice of essays, topics are very varied, as well as styles. We move from mathematical games and paradoxes to the presentation of complex scientific theories, such as strings. Talk about issues mathematicians known as the Fibonacci series, and then moves on topics completely outside his field, as genetics and neurology (though I regret to say that genetics seems to have ideas at times slightly confusing).

The style is often witty and imaginative, I liked the stories more or less science fiction, the rest many of the essays presented here have been published in the journal Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine , and I appreciate this very much ties with one of my favorite writers .

I also really liked his sociological and philosophical. Cites numerous philosophers, more or less known to the general public, presents the views of different schools and finally take a position critical reasons for his point of view on the basis of what it expresses.

This book I also recalled another of my favorite writers, the great Gould : Gardner as he has shown in these essays a wide culture and considerable curiosity about different phenomena between them.

He also shared with the famous paleontologist also his efforts against the pseudoscience that I can not appreciate.

PS: my copy, bought in a Feltrinelli in Rome, was printed wrong. I contacted the publisher (Zanichelli), and they're very kind. For those who need it I called the number you find on this website http://www.zanichelli.it/contatti/

Is Quadriderm Used On Scars

and love in Los Angeles, Karen Mack and Jennifer Kaufman

I was in a moment. I passed in front of a feast of books, all for 4 euro. I saw the cover. I read the back cover. The main character is a young divorced woman, passionate reader, when something in her life does not go to stay at home and read, read, read, read. Basically my dream (if only there was a "little problem" of labor). When I read "I collect new books in the same way in which my friend bought bags signed. Sometimes I just know of them and I ask myself the question if I to read them. Not that the end does not read them all, one by one. I do. But the mere act of buying them makes me happy: life is more promising, more rewarding. It 'hard to explain, but I feel, in a sense, more optimistic. The whole rigmarole of purchase makes me happy. "I decided I had to buy it. I just started back home.

The first pages are nice. But then he started on my nerves. Meanwhile, the protagonist does not nothing from morning to evening, but laurels. It complains as well. Then puts a citation every two or three sentences, as if to show what has been taken. Most of the books mentioned, however, are by U.S. authors.
Then there the difficult choice between two handsome men, says the back cover. The first is in my humble opinion, a poor loser selfish, snobbish and presuppositional and the second does not inspire me at all. It seems as if it must be nice from a certain point in the book just need to plot.
In general there is an irritating superficiality in all the events and characters in the book. Some ideas are interesting, but held in a surface so as to be almost commonplace.

Mainly I can not stand this book for one simple reason. The protagonist is not a lover of books, but a person with a defect in obsessive-compulsive disorder in relation to reading. Deviated from the point of view love for reading, as if those who read it did only to escape to the surrounding reality, and to return to "normal" should reduce the frequency of his readings. A final assessment of that seemed very partial, misleading and inappropriate. Present the main character as a lover of reading is equivalent to present Hitler as "obnoxious."

This book seems to me an American idiot and superficial. Horrible.

Otto Little Pigs, by Stephen Jay Gould

Like a good paleontologist almost can not not like Gould. His way of telling the nature and evolution is very exciting. I have read several collections of his essays, but still pretty old. It 's the first time I read a collection among the most recent, and hit me in many ways, some even negative.
Firstly it is clear that Gould is more mature. His legendary style acquires more depth, appear the most current issues and "committed" (including the relationship between man and environment in our society), and increasing incursions into unexpected areas (a beautiful essay on the mechanisms of memory). There is also a fairly detailed discussion of his theory of punctuated equilibrium.
The book is very long, there are 31 essays, more than 500 pages. From my point of view I would have preferred rather two books, would have been much lighter and more enjoyable. The text is
divided into several sections. The first analyzes the relationship between man and environment effects of human activities on some ecosystems. The theme is very interesting and treated with great skill, but I have not read it with pleasure, made me reflect and saddened (as indeed it is right that is).
The second part deals with four themes that anyone who has studied vertebrate paleontology is very familiar: the convergence of marine reptiles and fish, in particular ichthyosaur and shark, and the evolution of the auditory ossicles in the transition between reptiles and amphibians and then between reptiles and mammals, the evolutionary relationship between lung and bladder and the history of the arts in five fingers. E 'section that I liked more, I recalled the wonderful lessons of vertebrate paleontology. To my knowledge, Gould has written a textbook on this subject, and if so I find it a shame, his prose enthralling and interesting topic it would have done a very nice book.

The third speaks of the influence of historical, philosophical and social scientific theories and their understanding. Allows for reflection on some errors that often appears when we study the theories developed in the past. In these cases it is tempting to read with our eyes, not with those who wrote them, with the risk of misunderstanding sensational. I especially loved the story of famous biblical chronology proposed by Ussher fixing the date of the creation in 4004 BC: I did not know much and I really enjoyed finding out about what basis has been established and because of his fame.
The fourth section is entitled "Meditations" and submit that Gould might call a philosopher who asked about the relationship we have with the past. Our point of view of the past is conditioned by a number of assumptions inherent in our nature, in part, partly induced by the historical context in which we live. It 's always important to know our limits and those trying to take them into account when possible.
The fifth part is a pleasant surprise, is the condition of human evolution. Very interesting the essay on Mozart, which demonstrates once more the great ability of Gould in interdisciplinary work.

From here on, the book becomes quite technical. If these chapters were placed in a paper shorter than I would have appreciated much more, but I must admit that I have read with difficulty and I was a bit 'bored. The last part I read it really forced to finishing the book, maybe I should take up more calmly. Duty except the essay on ' Hallucigenia , which I found very interesting.

In short it is a very interesting book for fans and for those who know something, quite confusing for those not familiar with the subject. Most of the essays, taken alone, are very affordable, but not share the decision to bring together so many and varied in a book so long.

Mansfield Park, Jane Austen

As I already told are a huge fan of Jane Austen from the age of 14 years, when I found out at school Pride and Prejudice and I finished in two days.
I read his major novels (plus Lady Susan) several times, and as always in great novels are "grown up with me." If the first time I was more attention to history, now are the choices of the characters and their attitudes to hit more.
Mansfield Park is a novel that I have heard in many ways. There are those who particularly loves the sweet and submissive Fanny, but whoever is a bit 'nasty, bigoted and not very lively.
Until a few years ago I was incredibly nice. Her sweetness, her shyness I touched.
Strangely this reading (which is more than one year from the previous year) made me change my mind. Fanny certainly I am not unsympathetic, but there were times when I wanted to take her by the shoulders, shake and say "Come on, wake up! spin 'Aunt Norris, for' your stuff and take Edward to Miss Crawford! Well, you waiting for?". A very unexpected reaction from me.
Maybe Fanny is a part of me that some years ago was more important, and that in recent times has changed. But I'm very curious to know what I will bring the next readings.

Ulysses, by Antonio Spinosa

The subtitle ("free interpretation of the Odyssey") says it all. It is the Odyssey, but the Odyssey through the eyes of the author. And they are two different things. Spinosa's Ulysses is not a man of iron, but a man of today.
Ulysses has a very ambivalent towards life, a relationship that I, as an Italian abroad, partly agree. On the one hand the charm of travel and discovery, on the other distant family, home, roots. And it's hard for him, as for me, deciding whether and when to stop, figure out which of the two companies will lead to greater peace of mind. And through the clash with new realities, through compromise with the past Ulysses eventually grows, and chooses, as we all have to do one day (though not necessarily share his choices). Frankly I do not remember what all this is part of the Odyssey the original (I decided to reread it to find out) but in any If I find a good modern reinterpretation of the ancient myth. The style, in particular, is archaic and poetic, it creates an interesting link to the original.
And, I might add, I see an Italian in Ulysses. A man often petty, blowhard, boring, incoherent, in many ways an anti-hero.
Maybe that's why I'm being nice ... Ulysses is a deeply human and modern ...

manutenzone Care and Women's, Jerome Jerome Klapka

A Jerome a bit more 'thoughtful and less than ridanciano known through the three men in a boat, more' in line with "The thoughts of an idle idle. "These brief reflections on the theme of the woman I liked very much for the love Jerome shows to bring to the female sex. These criticisms joking, his teasing, his humor can not hide a respect and appreciation that transpires between the lines. Praise for the woman as such, leading to the contempt of those aesthetic practices that demean the woman as an individual to make a simple Barbie equal to all others. It appears the last topical chapter. Read it today a hundred years after the time at which 'was written, in a world of inflated by Botox and silicone, is definitely a strange feeling ...

Strange creatures, by Tracy Chevalier

When you think about the early days of paleontology, the discoverer of dinosaurs is often presented as an intersection is Charles Darwin, Professor. Lidenbrock (the crazy scientist-genialoide of "Journey to the Center of the Earth", so to speak) and Indiana Jones. A century aristocrat a bit 'a little scientist' explorer, some 'genius, a bit' weird.
This book, however, points the spotlight on two very different from this stereotype. A girl and a faded old maid who has now passed the marriageable age are represented in many important discoveries, including some beautiful ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs exhibited in London.

Tracy Chevalier is used to speaking to women: important women, ordinary women, I've only read his books "The Lady and the Unicorn" and "The Girl dall'orecchino of pearl", which although beautiful I was very bitter. The author in fact is always talking about women who nevertheless eventually find themselves having to submit to a male-dominated world which has led, and in part still is ours. While accepting this option if inserted in a context of historical accuracy, do not share it for the simple reason that we're talking about novels. And in the novel the author would also have decided to give a small victory to his female characters. In this book finally comes victory, and it is complete.

The author deals with many sensitive issues of interest: the contribution made to science and knowledge from the fans or the simple and uneducated people, the role of women in science and the hardships they had to overcome to reach it, the rivalry between scientists .

But above tells the compelling story of a discovery of a face to face with the terrible sea monsters, as seen through the eyes of the first, if he found them before, not having the foggiest idea what they were. And the story of a friendship.

Very nice, and very well written.

PS: I think the title, "Remarkable cretures" is poorly translated, but the cover I find it fantastic.

PS for lovers of Jane Austen speaks of Lyme, and I think it definitely has something "Persuasion"
