Close Encounters of Art and Physics
Close Encounters of Art and Physics is a voyage in time through the abstract ideas harboured in the minds of humans, starting from the graffiti art of cave dwellers and extending to the street art of contemporary men and women. In seeking parallels with science, the author looks far back to the first geometric ideas of our ancestors as well as ahead to the contemporary science of present-day physicists. The parallelism and analogies between these two fields bear witness to a real entanglement in the human brain. The second part of the book contains about 25 colour images showing the author's stunning glass artwork representing ideas such as dark matter, quantum entanglement, cellular automata and many others that are almost impossible to capture in words. Furthermore, many of the physicists who have themselves made major contributions in these fields provide their comments and analysis of the works. The book provides entertaining and informative reading, not only for practicing artists and physicists, but also anyone curious about art and physics.

Attraverso un'esplorazione della natura dei conflitti nonché della collaborazione e della negoziazione tra diversi nazionalismi e ...
Decoherence and Entropy in Complex Systems
The contributions to this volume are based on selected lectures from the first international workshop on decoherence, information, complexity and entropy (DICE). The aim of this volume is to reflect the growing importance ot common concepts behind seemingly different fields such as quantum mechanics, general relativity and statistical physics in a form accessible to nonspecialist researchers. Many presentations include original results which published here for the first time.
Eleatic Ontology from the Hellenistic Period to Late Antiquity

Psichiatria e filosofia. Le radici epistemologiche della Allgemeine Psychopathologie di Karl Jaspers
[Italiano]: Il lavoro rintraccia e ricostruisce le radici epistemologiche della Allgemeine Psychopathologie (1913) di Karl Jaspers, sottolineandone il carattere originale ed innovativo e contestualizzandola entro il dibattito scientifico e storico-psichiatrico del tempo, con particolare attenzione per le significative interazioni che già dalla prima edizione (e in modo più esplicito dalla quarta, del 1946) vi si possono scorgere tra tematiche psichiatriche ed argomentazioni filosofiche. Tali interazioni si colgono già, del resto, nel complesso processo della formazione psicopatologica di Jaspers, in modo particolare guardando al tirocinio effettuato presso la clinica psichiatrica di Heide...
