Story
Les connaissances sur les volcans ont beaucoup progressé dans la période récente.Claude Jaupart en dresse ici un panorama complet. Il définit les types de volcans, leur structure ainsi que l'ensemble des forces souterraines qui sont à l'œuvre et dont l'éruption est le dernier avatar spectaculaire.Un enregistrement dense et clair qui permet de comprendre le volcanisme dans sa dimension dynamique.

Story
En 1637, Descartes révolutionne la manière que l'on a de faire de la géométrie : il pose les bases de ce que l'on appelle la "géométrie algébrique", qui associe, à chaque point de l'espace, 3 coordonnées. Cela permet de résoudre des problèmes géométriques avec des outils algébriques. Cette géométrie est dite "commutative", c'est-à-dire que le produit de deux quantités ne dépend pas de l'ordre des termes : A × B = B × A. Cette propriété est fondamentale, et l'ensemble de l'édifice mathématique en dépend.

Story
Sommes-nous guidés par le hasard ou par le destin ? Une histoire du déterminisme, de Newton jusqu'aux développements les plus récents de la théorie du chaos. Isaac Newton prévoit le mouvement des planètes Depuis Galilée et Newton, la physique et les mathématiques sont traversées par la question centrale du déterminisme : est-il possible de prévoir le futur à partir du présent ? Newton met au point un outil mathématique qui permet de prédire le mouvement des objets et des planètes. Ce faisant, et jusqu'au XIX siècle, il donne un élan d'optimisme conquérant à la science qui semble en état de résoudre tous les problèmes.

Story
Un univers sans projet – L'une des plus grandes révolutions scientifiques des 150 dernières années a probablement été l'idée que l'ensemble de l'Univers – y compris l'univers vivant qui nous entoure et nous inclut – a émergé et évolué en dehors de tout projet, de toute intentionnalité et de toute finalité à partir d'interactions aléatoires entre les composants élémentaires de la matière. Depuis son origine, ce que nous nommons la vie se déploie sur notre planète en l'absence de tout plan préexistant.

Qu’est-ce que le savoir mathématique ? À quoi sert une théorie mathématique ? Et qu’est-ce que faire des mathématiques ? La nature et l’objet des mathématiques restent bien mystérieux, et celles-ci apparaissent souvent abstraites. Les mathématiques ont pourtant une notion bien définie du vrai : est vrai ce qui est démontré. Pour les besoins de la démonstration, précisément, les mathématiques usent d’outils.

Story
Françoise Combes vient de recevoir la médaille d'or du CNRS. Cette astrophysicienne est spécialiste de la dynamique des galaxies et, non contente de les observer, elle réalise de spectaculaires simulations numériques de leur formation, de leur croissance, de leurs rencontres. Cela aide à comprendre l'origine de leurs formes, variées et souvent surprenantes. Le décodage des différentes étapes de leur évolution montre que les trous noirs supermassifs, qui occupent les centres de ces galaxies, y jouent un rôle majeur. Il est donc indispensable de mieux les comprendre.

Story
Au début du 17ème siècle, Galilée est le fondateur emblématique de la science moderne. Par ses observations astronomiques, il nous fait passer du monde clos et géocentrique hérité de l'Antiquité à l'univers pluri-centrique et infini d'aujourd'hui. C'est aussi le premier physicien véritablement expérimentateur, qui posera les bases de la mécanique moderne et de la théorie de la résistance des matériaux. Bien avant Einstein, il avancera l'idée de la relativité du mouvement. Jean-Marc Lévy Leblond, physicien et essayiste, raconte ici la vie et l'œuvre scientifique révolutionnaire d'un homme profondément nourri par la culture artistique.

Comment à partir d'une toute petite cellule unique, est-il possible d'obtenir un organisme aussi complexe que celui d'un être vivant ? Par quel phénomène fascinant passe-t-on de l'embryon à l'Homme ? Ce sont ces interrogations qui ont accompagnées Nicole Le Douarin tout au long de son parcours scientifique. Cette grande biologiste française s'est notamment distinguée par ses travaux sur les chimères, ces êtres hybrides qu'elle a elle-même conçus en injectant des cellules de caille dans un embryon de poulet.

Un homme qui a profondément changé notre vision du monde S'il est quelqu'un que l'on peut qualifier de génie, c'est certainement Einstein. Il a façonné la physique du XXème siècle. Non seulement ses découvertes ont permis l'avènement de notre univers technologique (électronique, laser, énergie nucléaire, etc.), mais surtout, il a profondément modifié notre conception du monde. Il y a un avant Einstein et un après Einstein qui se prolonge aujourd'hui puisque ses théories n'ont pas, pour l'essentiel, été démenties. Inventeur des deux grandes théories du XXe : relativité et théorie quantique.

Dans celui-ci les certitudes de notre monde de tous les jours se brouillent. Les particules de matière ou de lumière n'y obéissent pas aux lois qui nous sont familières. A cette échelle microscopique, elles existent à la fois sous forme d'ondes et de particules, se manifestent simultanément dans des états différents, semblent être partout à la fois. Une nouvelle logique de la matière.

Une demande en forte croissance La demande d'énergie devrait croître de 60% d'ici à 2030 sous l'effet conjugué de la croissance de la population mondiale et de la croissance de la consommation énergétique par habitant. Or c'est précisément la consommation énergétique, largement dominée par les énergies fossiles, pétrole notamment, qui produit le gaz carbonique qui détériore notre environnement. Concilier croissance économique et protection de l'environnement est donc un enjeu majeur des prochaines décennies.

Les exobiologistes sont donc les " sourciers de l'espace " et leurs candidats dans le système solaire sont Mars et les lunes de Jupiter et de Saturne. Ils scrutent également les exo-planètes récemment découvertes hors du système solaire.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Story
Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
