Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Los grandes logros científicos de una Edad Media brillante La Edad Media suele considerarse una Edad Oscura y se asocia al atraso tecnológico, pero la realidad es otra: fue entonces cuando florecieron las primeras universidades, se inventaron las gafas y relojes mecánicos, y surgió una vibrante y rica cultura científica. En La luz de la Edad Media, Seb Falk, historiador de la ciencia de la Universidad de Cambridge, nos sumerge en la ciencia medieval a través de la historia de un monje del siglo XIV, John Westwyk. Desde multiplicar con números romanos hasta explorar las estrellas con los astrónomos toledanos, curar enfermedades y conocer la hora con un antiguo astrolabio, descubriremos las bases que la ciencia medieval sentó para el mundo moderno. En nuestro recorrido por la ciencia del Medievo, nos encontraremos con un elenco de notables personajes, como el abad inglés leproso que construye relojes de vanguardia, el artesano francés convertido en espía, el rey español que impulsó la ciencia medieval y el polímata persa que fundó el observatorio más avanzado del mundo. La luz de la Edad Media es una historia fundamental y apasionante que revoluciona nuestra forma de entender el pasado y descubre los ignorados logros de una ciencia medieval que sentó las bases de nuestro mundo moderno.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Chosen as a Book of the Year by The Times, Daily Telegraph, TLS, BBC History Magazine and Tablet'Compulsive, brilliantly clear and superbly well-written, it's a charismatic evocation of another world' Ian Mortimer, author of The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval EnglandThe Middle Ages were a time of wonder. They gave us the first universities, the first eyeglasses and the first mechanical clocks as medieval thinkers sought to understand the world around them, from the passing of the seasons to the stars in the sky. In this book, we walk the path of medieval science with a real-life guide, a fourteenth-century monk named John of Westwyk - inventor, astrologer, crusader - who was educated in England's grandest monastery and exiled to a clifftop priory. Following the traces of his life, we learn to see the natural world through Brother John's eyes: navigating by the stars, multiplying Roman numerals, curing disease and telling the time with an astrolabe. We travel the length and breadth of England, from Saint Albans to Tynemouth, and venture far beyond the shores of Britain. On our way, we encounter a remarkable cast of characters: the clock-building English abbot with leprosy, the French craftsman-turned-spy and the Persian polymath who founded the world's most advanced observatory.An enthralling story of the struggles and successes of an ordinary man and an extraordinary time, The Light Ages conjures up a vivid picture of the medieval world as we have never seen it before.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Soaring Gothic cathedrals, violent crusades, the Black Death: these are the dramatic forces that shaped the medieval era. But the so-called Dark Ages also gave us the first universities, eyeglasses, and mechanical clocks. As medieval thinkers sought to understand the world around them, from the passing of the seasons to the stars in the sky, they came to develop a vibrant scientific culture.In The Light Ages, Cambridge science historian Seb Falk takes us on a tour of medieval science through the eyes of one fourteenth-century monk, John of Westwyk. Born in a rural manor, educated in England's grandest monastery, and then exiled to a clifftop priory, Westwyk was an intrepid crusader, inventor, and astrologer. From multiplying Roman numerals to navigating by the stars, curing disease, and telling time with an ancient astrolabe, we learn emerging science alongside Westwyk and travel with him through the length and breadth of England and beyond its shores. On our way, we encounter a remarkable cast of characters: the clock-building English abbot with leprosy, the French craftsman-turned-spy, and the Persian polymath who founded the world's most advanced observatory.The Light Ages offers a gripping story of the struggles and successes of an ordinary man in a precarious world and conjures a vivid picture of medieval life as we have never seen it before. An enlightening history that argues that these times weren't so dark after all, The Light Ages shows how medieval ideas continue to color how we see the world today.…
