Християнската революция и нейните модерни врагове. ... Книгата разглежда исторически и съвременни опити за принизяване на християнството, за изопачаване на неговия смисъл и значение. В контекста на една популярна в последните години книга с такава насоченост, "Делюзията Бог" на Ричард Докинс, Дейвид Бентли Харт предлага отговор от името на вярващите интелигентни хора, в който баналните и логически неиздържани аргументи срещу вярата са опровергани с убедителна лекота. Но книгата е нещо много повече - тя предизвиква най-вече "новите атеисти", проповядващи привидно задълбочено едно "евангелие на ... |

The only numbers in this book are the page numbers. The three main branches of abstract math - topology, analysis, and algebra - turn out to be surprisingly easy to grasp. Or at least, they are when our guide is a math prodigy. With forthright wit and warm charm, Milo Beckman upends the conventional approach to mathematics, inviting us to think creatively about shape and dimension, the infinite and the infinitesimal, symmetries, proofs, and all how all these concepts fit together. Why is there a million dollar prize for counting shapes? Is anything bigger than infinity? And how is the "truth" of mathematics ... |
