BOLLATI BORINGHIERI 2002 PRIMA EDIZIONE. LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO ALLA COPERTINA, VOLUME INTONSO, MAI SFOGLIATO. La brillante descrizione che non mancherà di appassionare anche chi non abbia competenze matematiche o scientifiche del modo in cui il concetto di zero, con quello gemello di infinito, ha più volte rivoluzionato i fondamenti della civiltà e del pensiero filosofico. Quarta di copertina Destinato anche a chi non abbia competenze matematiche o scientifiche, il libro offre una brillante descrizione del modo in cui il concetto di zero, con quello gemello di infinito, ha più volte rivoluzionato i fondamenti della civiltà e del pensiero flosofico. La storia del numero zero è seguita dalla sua nascita come concetto filosofico orientale alla sua combattuta accettazione in Europa (com'è noto, non fu accolto dai greci) e alla sua apoteosi nel quadro della teoria dei buchi neri. Da Aristotele a Einstein e oltre, viene qui presentata la ricca e complessa storia della semplice nozione di "nulla" sulla quale si confrontarono scienziati e mistici, cosmologi e religiosi, ogni volta mettendo in crisi le basi della filosofia, della scienza, della teologia.

227p. Lacks front fly leaf. 8vo. Original full red cloth binding, worn. "Jan Karel Van Baalen described cults as non-Christian religions but included those groups which had their roots in Christianity while denying what he considered its essential teaching. According to VanBaalen, all religions could be divided into two groups, those which ascribe to humans the ability to accomplish their own salvation and those which ascribe that ability to God. The latter group is called Christianity. All other religion fits into the first group. In The Chaos of Cults, which went through numerous editions from its first appearance in 1938, Van Baalen analyzed various non-Christian religions in the light of Christian teachings." - From a description of the 1981 edition.

ill., br. Negli anni recenti, grazie anche agli studi su sistemi non lineari con computer superveloci, è divenuto chiaro come il caos, la nonlinearità, il disordine non siano un'eccezione, ma una proprietà intrinseca di molti sistemi, che presentano quindi un comportamento non prevedibile in modo deterministico. La teoria matematica che sta alla base di queste recenti scoperte, nuovo strumento per moltissime applicazioni nella scienza e nell'ingegneria, è la teoria delle catastrofi. Arnol'd fornisce un metodo universale per studiare tutti i tipi di transazioni brusche, discontinuità e cambiamenti improvvisi in un modo accessibile anche a chi non abbia una preparazione matematica.
