David Baker Knihy

Ako sa začal čas? Aké podmienky viedli k vývinu človeka na Zemi? Prežijeme antropocén? A je pravda, že sme všetci stvorení z hviezd? Kniha Najstručnejšia história sveta sleduje kontinuitu historických zmien vo vesmíre - od veľkého tresku cez evolúciu života až po históriu ľudstva. Spája poznatky z chémie, biológie a fyziky s poznatkami zo spoločen-ských a humanitných vied a prináša fascinujúci pohľad na 13,8 miliardy rokov z vtáčej perspektívy. V tejto pútavej a objavnej knihe David Baker sleduje vzostup zložitosti vo vesmíre - od prvých atómov k prvému životu a následne až k ľuďom a veciam, ktoré vytvorili. Venuje sa aj dramatickým a náhlym zmenám, ktoré človek za krátky čas svojej existencie spôsobil planéte a jej biosfére, a nakoniec ponúka víziu toho, čo by podľa náznaku histórie mohlo nasledovať.

This biography is the life story of Germany's most famous World War II air force officer, Adolf Galland. As a fighter ace, he became the youngest general in the Wehrmacht, whose combat career spanned the years from biplanes over Spain to the first operational jet fighters. His command position put him in perilously close contact with the leaders of the Third Reich. Over several years, General Galland has told his story - including much which for political reasons could not be said in his 1950s memoir, "The First and the Last" - to aerospace historian and writer, David Baker. The General has also opened his private photograph collection.
