Michael Guillen Libros

Exploring the intersection of faith and reason, this book challenges readers to examine their beliefs about science and spirituality. It encourages an open-minded approach to understanding how both can coexist and enrich one another. Through thought-provoking discussions, it invites readers to expand their worldview and consider the implications of integrating scientific understanding with a belief in God.

It was through the brilliance of five fascinating people - Michael Faraday, Daniel Bernoulli, Isaac Newton, Rudolf Clausius and Albert Einstein - that we were able to harness the power of electricity, fly in aeroplanes, land astronauts on the moon, build a nuclear bomb, and understand the mortality of all life on Earth. FIVE EQUATIONS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD tells the amazing stories of the people and the discoveries that led to the five most powerful and important scientific achievements in human history. In accessible yet unpatronising language, Dr Michael Guillen re-creates the political debates, social upheaval, religious sanctions, family tragedies and personal ambitions that contributed to each man's work, illuminating the secret world of mathematics in a dramatic and personal way that will entertain as well as enlighten.

Does science disprove or discredit the Bible, God, religious faith? Not according to Dr. Michael Guillen, former Harvard physics instructor and ABC News Science Editor. In Amazing Truths, Dr. Guillen shows how science and faith are not at odds and, in fact, represent the ultimate power couple.

The book explores the intersection of science and faith, proposing that understanding scientific discoveries can enhance one's perception of God, the universe, and humanity. Guillen, a television journalist, argues for a harmonious relationship between scientific inquiry and religious belief, suggesting that both can coexist and enrich one another, leading to a more profound appreciation of existence.

Convinto che la matematica sia una sorta di linguaggio poetico, l'autore, nello scrivere questo saggio, ha raccolto un'ardua sfida: illustrare e "tradurre" per i "non esperti" il fondamentale apporto di cinque geni indiscussi (Newton, Bernoulli, Faraday, Clausius e Einstein) ai vari campi del sapere scientifico, tratteggiando nel contempo una ricostruzione delle loro vicende umane e professionali.
