br. Dalla predicazione della prima crociata di papa Urbano II nel 1095 alla perdita dell'ultimo avamposto crociato nel 1302-1303, dalla conquista di Gerusalemme nel 1099 all'assedio di nel 1291, "Crociati" narra una storia intrisa di sangue cristiano, ebraico e islamico, popolata da personaggi straordinari e caratterizzata sia da mera ambizione sia da alti principi. Tra le voci protagoniste, non solo papi e re, ma anche poeti arabo-siciliani, principesse bizantine, studiosi sunniti, visir sciiti, soldati schiavi mamelucchi, capi mongoli e frati scalzi. Jones guarda alle radici delle relazioni cristiano-musulmane nell'VIII secolo e traccia l'influenza delle crociate fino ai giorni nostri, in un percorso profondamente umano e dichiaratamente pluralista attraverso l'era delle crociate, estendendo il focus geografico a regioni lontane che ospitarono cosiddetti nemici della Chiesa, tra cui Spagna, Nord Africa, Francia meridionale e Stati baltici.

ill., br. Nel 1905 faceva la sua comparsa la fisica quantistica: si spalancavano così le porte del mondo dell'infinitamente piccolo, regolato da leggi che non potevano essere ricondotte nell'alveo della fisica classica. Un secolo dopo, la fisica quantistica, questa disciplina scientifica potente e originale, resta in realtà poco conosciuta. Utilizzando un linguaggio semplice, ricco di analogie e divertenti aneddoti, l'autore conduce il lettore in un viaggio alla scoperta di uno strano mondo, in cui i concetti familiari della vita su scala macroscopica si rivelano inadeguati e fuorvianti. Sullo sfondo, l'autore non manca di evidenziare l'interrogativo più profondo della fisica quantistica: a che tipo di realtà fa riferimento una teoria che rifiuta qualunque rappresentazione concreta? Quale credito bisogna accordare alle sue varie interpretazioni proposte dal 1920 a oggi?
ill., br. La battaglia di Maratona, una delle battaglie più famose della storia, fu combattuta e vinta nel settembre del 490 a.C. dagli ateniesi contro il potentissimo esercito persiano su una piana costiera a una quarantina di chilometri da Atene. L'episodio, riferito da Erodoto, è stato sempre un rompicapo per gli storici dell'antichità. Come è possibile che gli ateniesi uscissero vincitori da uno scontro così impari? Come è possibile, ad esempio, che essi andassero all'assalto dei persiani correndo, armati, per un chilometro e mezzo, come racconta Erodoto? Krentz ricostruisce pazientemente lo stato originario del luogo dello scontro, la dislocazione degli eserciti, gli armamenti (persino il loro peso), le tattiche, giungendo a quella che si può considerare la più documentata e dettagliata descrizione della battaglia che, ponendo fine all'invincibilità persiana, costituì un punto di svolta decisivo nella storia della Grecia e, alla lunga, dello stesso Occidente.

cm. 17 x 24, xvi-442 pp. con carte, tabelle e grafici n.t. Biblioteca storica toscana - Serie I Nel corso del Trecento, Firenze raggiunge il suo massimo sviluppo: la popolazione cittadina ? cresciuta e si ? rafforzato un ceto sociale e politico che guarda con vivo interesse alle campagne circostanti ? grande area di mercato che la Citt? dota delle infrastrutture necessarie: strade, ponti, piazze di mercato. L?intero Contado si anima quindi di mercanti, imprenditori, commercianti che dimostreranno, anche nella grande crisi di met? secolo, un?intraprendenza e delle competenze degne dei loro colleghi cittadini. Florence reached its highest development in the fourteenth century. Within its vastly increased population there developed a class who viewed the surrounding countryside as a large market for which the city provided the infrastructure: roads, bridges, market places, etc. Thus, this countryside came to be peopled with merchants, entrepreneurs and professionals who even during the great crisis of the mid-century demonstrated a kind of entrepreneurship and know-how equal to that of their urban counterparts. 809 gr. xvi-442 p.
