Boston, Springer 2006, cm.16,5x24,5, pp.XXVII,792, legatura editoriale cartonata, copertina figurata a colori. Collana Cellular origin and Life in Extyreme Habitats and Astrobiology. Life As we Know It ["LAKI"] covers several aspects of Life, ranging from the prebiotic level, origin of life, evolution of prokaryotes to eukaryotes and finally to various affairs of human beings. Although it is hard to define Life, one can, however, characterize it and describe its features. Topics treated are categories of bacteria, algae and fungi, conscience, philosophy, theology, aesthetics, appearance of sport and life destiny, life after clinical death, and thoughts of the world to come ("Olam Haba"). The various chapters have been written so that they are accessible to all - from the avid lay reader to the specialist – and make available multidisciplinary sources of information about Life. This volume will interest open minded scholars, students at all levels of general sciences, natural and Life science, researchers of philosophy, theology, history of Life, astrobiology, and those who wish to widen their knowledge about "who are we in the universe". The information presented here on the various phenomena of Life were all written by highly qualified authors including scientists, public leaders, a professional athelete and three Nobel Laureates.

#325529 Arte Pittura
Préfacier Jean Fremon, Traducteur Giovanni Tittensor. Paris, Hazan 2024, cm.29x40, pp.95 illustrazioni a colori, Relié. Edition bilingue français-anglais. Cet ouvrage propose une expérience inédite : présenter dans l'espace éblouissant du musée Picasso d'Antibes douze oeuvres magistrales de Joan Miró, issues d'une des plus importantes collections privées au monde, la collection Nahmad. Miró est chez lui dans ce musée, comme l'est un hôte dans la maison de son ami. Car l'amitié qui, depuis leur première rencontre à Paris en 1920, lia les deux artistes pendant toute leur vie, fut aussi un ferment de leur passion de création. L'ouvrage présente une seule oeuvre, parfois deux, dans la belle lumière des salles du château Grimaldi. A rebours d'un catalogue d'exposition traditionnel qui réunit et associe, il est là non plus question d'accumulation, mais de concentration et de réception de l'objet dans sa singularité pour la contemplation et l'interprétation. Chaque page est alors l'écrin d'un seul motif de méditation, ou d'un dialogue subtil, pour offrir les conditions optimales au regard qui, sans hésiter et sans avoir à choisir, se pose sur le tableau pour mieux le voir et l'entendre. Il s'agit ici de rendre compte non d'une exposition, mais plutôt d'une installation dans l'espace changeant des galeries du musée, pour une rencontre originale entre une oeuvre et une architecture, un voyage insolite en douze étapes pour partager l'exacte beauté de ces peintures nous révélant "le sens magique des choses" .
