Meeting the Demands of Reason
The Soviet physicist, dissident, and human rights activist Andrei Sakharov (1921–1989) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975. The first Russian to have been so recognized, Sakharov in his Nobel lecture held that humanity had a "sacred endeavor" to create a life worthy of its potential, that "we must make good the demands of reason," by confronting the dangers threatening the world, both then and now: nuclear annihilation, famine, pollution, and the denial of human rights.Meeting the Demands of Reason provides a comprehensive account of Sakharov's life and intellectual development, focusing on his political thought and the effect his ideas had on Soviet society.

Live Hope Minute
Become a champion of hope! As we see chaos in the world around us, we want to have hope. But what is hope, and where does it come from? Hope is more than simple optimism that things get better, or a finger-crossed wishing that things go our way. Live Hope Minute explores the life-transforming concept of true hope and how to keep a godly perspective in our current circumstances. Through these short, inspiring devotions: • Your hope will become grounded in unshakeable faith. • Your life will become marked by love that you cannot help but give away. • Your vision will grow and keep you moving toward God and his plan for your life. When you discover true hope, you will find you are building your house on the rock that will not move. Regardless of the storms and challenges you face, you can demonstrate to those around you that life is more than just what we can see or feel. Be amazed at the power and comfort God’s hope can offer.
From Ultra Rays to Astroparticles
The scope of the book is to give an overview of the history of astroparticle physics, starting with the discovery of cosmic rays (Victor Hess, 1912) and its background (X-ray, radioactivity). The book focusses on the ways in which physics changes in the course of this history. The following changes run parallel, overlap, and/or interact: - Discovery of effects like X-rays, radioactivity, cosmic rays, new particles but also progress through non-discoveries (monopoles) etc. - The change of the description of nature in physics, as consequence of new theoretical questions at the beginning of the 20th century, giving rise to quantum physics, relativity, etc. - The change of experimental methods, cooperations, disciplinary divisions. With regard to the latter change, a main topic of the book is to make the specific multi-diciplinary features of astroparticle physics clear.
I diritti umani e la trasformazione delle culture politiche e cristiane nel tardo Novecento
Tra la Conferenza di Helsinki nel 1975 e il crollo dell’Urss nel 1991, due attori transnazionali dotati di missioni universaliste, quali il comunismo e la Chiesa cattolica, si sono confrontati con la questione dei diritti umani. L’avvento di Gorbačëv segna un passaggio fondamentale, liberando il tema dalle logiche della guerra fredda. Il suo rapporto con Sacharov appare emblematico, così come è significativo il suo dialogo con Giovanni Paolo II. Il volume mostra come i diritti umani non abbiano semplicemente sostituito le ideologie universaliste ma siano stati un terreno di conflitto e contaminazione per tutte le culture politiche e religiose in Europa, nel mondo comunista e cattolico, ma anche nella socialdemocrazia e nel cristianesimo riformato.
Ci dice tutto il nostro inviato
Gli “anni di piombo” visti dall’altro marciapiede rispetto ai terroristi. Il crollo del Muro e dell’Urss raccontati da una Berlino in mutazione e da quel crogiolo di contraddizioni che fu la perestroika nell’ultima Urss. Grandi vecchi con un piede nell’Ottocento e lo sguardo rivolto al domani. Scoperte da Nobel illustrate dagli stessi scienziati premiati a Stoccolma. Queste le colonne portanti di un reportage a cavallo di tre secoli, tra bagliori e incongruenze, protagonisti e figuranti, cronaca e storia. Con incursioni dietro le quinte di un particolare tipo di giornalismo, quello radiofonico, che deve far vedere le cose unicamente con le parole. Ci dice tutto il nostro Inviato ...
