How do you aim a Lewis gun? What can you do to protect your war horse from a gas attack? How do you design a barbed wire entanglement for a front line trench? What does an 18-pounder artillery piece do best? An amazing array of leaflets, books and manuals were issued by the War Office during the First World War to aid British soldiers on the Western Front. The Tommies’ Manual 1916 combines the best of them into a poignant facsimile. Most were supremely practical or highly technical; some became obsolete almost immediately, overtaken by technological advances; others hid the grim reality of war behind a prosaic title. All make fascinating reading and are reproduced here with an introduction and over seventy period illustrations.

This volume contains 17 mathematical works by Johann Bernoulli, written between 1680 – when he was only 13 years old and studied mathematics with his brother Jacob – and 1732, when he was 65 years old. Five of the works are handwritten manuscripts, and another three belong to the Anekdota, which he published in the fourth volume of his Opera Omnia. The book features also seven works by other authors: John Craig, Jacob Hermann, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus. Another work included in this book was co-written by Johann Bernoulli and Samuel Klingenstjerna. The texts presented here are divided into two parts: the first consists of a substantial untitled paper (Ms. 27) that contains, in a sequence numbered by the author, 120 propositions on various subjects that Bernoulli explored over a very long period of time, namely from 1685 to the first decades of the 18th century. In turn, the second part is composed of a series of articles and manuscripts devoted to problems on the rectification and transformation of curves, on geodesics, and on spherical epicycloids. In addition to information on the rapid advances in mathematics during this period, the volume also shares fascinating insights into the connections between the mathematicians.

San Francisco de Asís inició un movimiento evangélico dentro de la cristiandad. A partir de él se creó y se articuló una escuela de pensamiento con un talante propio. En la actualidad existen muchos estudios sobre Buenaventura, Escoto, R. Bacon, G. Ockham, etc., pero falta una publicación que ofrezca una visión sintética y unitaria de la escuela franciscana. La publicación de este Manual de Filosofía franciscana significa un importante jalón en el campo del franciscanismo y viene a llenar un gran vacío cultural y a dar respuesta a tantos profesores, alumnos, educadores, universitarios y escritores que, tanto desde el mundo franciscano como desde fuera de él, reclaman la publicación de un volumen capaz de ofrecer una visión conjunta y comparativa de la teología franciscana. Pero este volumen no reproduce simplemente lo ya dicho, sino que, ahondando en ello, propone importantes novedades, porque la verdad teológica más que una posesión conceptual es la adhesión a la persona de Jesucristo

A Emil Cioran (Rasinari, Rumanía, 1911?París, 1995) no le hizo falta ninguna pandemia para saber que la existencia del ser humano estaba amenazada. En una conversación publicada en 1992, afirmó lo siguiente: El hombre es víctima de una maldición, no puede subsistir por mucho tiempo más, pues, si lo analizamos más detenidamente, resulta una aberración, notable, desde luego, pero una aberración igualmente, una herejía de la Naturaleza. Tiene una carrera grandiosa tras sí, pero carece ya de porvenir. El hombre va a desaparecer, de la forma que sea, va a desaparecer, ya sea por agotamiento interior ?y ya se observa en ciertos sentidos dicho agotamiento? o a consecuencia de una catástrofe, no sé de qué naturaleza. Lejos de mí la idea de jugar a hacer de profeta, pero tengo la sensación y la certidumbre de que el hombre no puede retrasar indefinidamente su desaparición. No podrá escapar siempre a su fin.Veinticinco años después de la muerte de Cioran, aquí sigue el hombre, retrasando su
