Portrait of Fritjof Capra [ Zenobia Barlow ] Fritjof Capra goes beyond The Tao of Physics ( published in 1975 and translated into 17 languages) with the book The Systems View of Life. A Unifying Vision (written with Pier Luigi Luisi). This volume integrates the ideas, models, and theories underlying the systems view of life into a single coherent framework. Fritjof Capra gave us an exclusive interview about his view of the universe. As a 18-year-old student you was seduced by Werner Heisenberg's most popular book: Physics and Philosophy. Why? «In this book, Heisenberg vividly described the conceptual and emotional struggles of the quantum physicists whose explorations of the atomic and subatomic world brought them into contact with a strange and unexpected reality. In their attempts to grasp this new reality, they became painfully aware that their basic concepts, their language, and their whole way of thinking were inadequate to describe atomic phenomena. Quantum phy...

IoT + Arduino Yún = a revolutionary idea (and a very interesting book)

This is one of the most interesting books I have ever read, in the field of technical handbooks.  The central argument of Internet of Things with the Arduino Y ú n is Arduino : is one of the greatest emerging technologies at the moment .   Why this open source hardware project is important ? Because, in my humble opinion, the use of an electronics platform based on a micro controller available to public with open source license is something of revolutionary.  With the help of this book we can build "Projects to help you build a world of smarter things" as the subtitle suggests. This book is organised into two areas: 1) What do you need for this book (an Arduino YÚN board) and 2) the four projects: Building a Weather Station Connected to the Cloud, Creating a Remote Energy Monitoring and Control Device, Making Your Own Cloud-connected Camera, Wi-Fi-controlled Mobile Robot. This book will be used as a handy reference work that is ideal to put hands into the I...

Un film, per quanto possa essere bello, ha sempre qualcosa in meno del libro al quale si ispira

Se non altro perché la mente di chi legge costruisce scenari diversi da quelli pensati e messi in atto dal regista. E questa è una splendida metafora visiva per illustrare il concetto ( Sebo Museu Do Livro, São Paulo, Brasil ):   Source: creativecriminals.com
