‘Wreed Romeins keizer (4 letters)’. Zo kennen we Nero uit de kruiswoordraadsels. Hij dankt die slechte naam aan zijn brute vervolging van christenen, de liquidatie van senatoren, de moord op zijn moeder Agrippina en andere tirannieke daden. Het bekendste slachtoffer van Nero’s terreur was Seneca, die carrière had gemaakt als redenaar, literator en filosoof, en belast was geweest met Nero’s opvoeding. Lange tijd praatte Seneca Nero’s wandaden goed. Pas toen de jonge keizer hem opdroeg zichzelf te doden, nam hij volledig afstand van de despoot. In Nero & Seneca schetst Anton van Hooff prachtig hoe de levens van de keizer en de filosoof eerst nauw met elkaar verbonden waren maar gaandeweg verder van elkaar verwijderd raakten. Het roept de vergelijking op met latere terreurregimes waarin intellectuelen voor de gewetensvraag kwamen te staan hoever ze moesten meegaan met hun tirannieke heerser.

The mysteries of the physical world speak to us through equations - compact statements about the way nature works, expressed in nature's language, mathematics. In this book by the renowned Dutch physicist Sander Bais, the equations that govern our world unfold in all their formal grace - and their deeper meaning as core symbols of our civilisation. Trying to explain science without equations is like trying to explain art without illustrations. Consequently Bais has produced a book that, unlike any other aimed at non-scientists, delves into the details - historical, biographical, practical, philosophical and mathematical - of seventeen equations that form the very basis of what we know of the universe today. A mathematical objet d'art in its own right, the book conveys the transcendent excitement and beauty of these icons of knowledge as they reveal and embody the fundamental truths of physical reality.These are the seventeen equations that represent radical turning points in our understanding - from mechanics to electrodynamics, hydrodynamics to relativity, quantum mechanics to string theory - their meanings revealed through the careful and critical observation of patterns and motions in nature. Mercifully short on dry theoretical elaborations, the book presents these equations as they are - with the information about their variables, history and applications that allows us to chart their critical function, and their crucial place, in the complex web of modern science. Reading The Equations, we can hear nature speaking to us in its native language.

The years between 1700 and 1900 witnessed a fundamental transition in attitudes towards science, as earlier concepts of natural philosophy were replaced with a more modern conception of science. This process was by no means a simple progression, and the changing attitudes to science was marked by bitter arguments and fundamental differences of opinion, many of which are still not entirely resolved today. Approaching the subject from a number of cultural angles, the essays in this volume explore the fluid relationship between science and belief during this crucial period, and helps trace the development of science as an independent field of study that did not look to religion to provide answers to the workings of the universe. Taking a broadly chronological approach, each essay in the book addresses a theme that helps illuminate these concerns and highlights how beliefs - both religious and secular - have impinged and influenced the scientific world.By addressing such key issues such as the ongoing debate between Christian fundamentalists and followers of Darwin, and the rise of 'respectable atheism', fascinating insights are provided that help to chart the ever-shifting discourse of science and beliefs.

This fully revised and updated edition of Norman McCord's authoritative introduction to nineteenth century British history has been extended to cover the period up to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. The nineteenth and early twentieth century saw the transformation of Britain from a predominantly rural to a largely urban society with an economy based upon manufacturing, finance, and trade, and from a society governed mainly by a landed aristocracy to what was increasingly a mass democracy. The authors chart the development of a modern state equipped with a large and expanding bureaucracy, the expansion of overseas territories into one of the world's greatest empires, and changes in religion, social attitudes, and culture. The book divides the era into four chronological periods, with chapters on the political background, administrative development, and social, economic, and cultural changes in each period.Exploring major themes such as the massive increase in population, the question of class, the scope of state activity, and the development of consumerism, leisure, and entertainment, and including a select bibliography and biographical appendix, this updated new edition provides the ultimate introduction to British history between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the outbreak of the First World War.
