Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Este texto de Giordano sobre la crisis del COVID-19 fue compartido mas de 4 millones de veces en Italia y se ha publicado en 25 paises. Se trata de una reflexion sobre nuestra responsabilidad colectiva, porque, en tiempos de contagio, somos un solo organismo, una comunidad.Un nuevo virus irrumpe en un pais lejano, aunque no tan lejano. La Tierra se ha vuelto pequena. Dia tras dia, billones de impulsos digitales transportan la informacion a la velocidad de la luz de un punto a otro del planeta; infinidad de aviones surcan los cielos, borrando fronteras a su paso y trasladando sin pausa a millares de personas; y, a menor velocidad, miles de toneladas de mercancias se mueven en todas direcciones en un incesante intercambio mercantil que nutre la economia global.Y si los bienes materiales llegan hasta los lugares mas reconditos con inusitada fluidez, con mayor celeridad aun se transmiten los elementos intangibles consustanciales al ser humano: la palabra, las ideas, los sentimientos, las emociones. Asi pues, ante la amenaza de un virus letal de alcance universal, una miriada de opiniones, conjeturas y teorias de todo tipo -desde aquellas basadas en el rigor de la ciencia hasta las que brotan de la fertil imaginacion de iluminados y charlatanes- nos envuelve como un sofocante alud que nos dificulta ver, pensar y decidir con sensatez.En este contexto tan especial, Paolo Giordano comparte con encomiable honestidad y valentia una serie de reflexiones y emociones que le provoca esta inaudita situacion, poniendo de manifiesto otra vez una rara virtud para aunar dos mundos supuestamente irreconciliables: la contundente racionalidad del cientifico con la vulnerabilidad y las incertezas propias de un escritor sensible y comprometido.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe groundbreaking, moving essay on the coronavirus pandemic shared over 4 million times in Italy and published in 25 countries around the world-which lucidly explains how disease spreads and how our interconnectedness will save us. "Lucid, calm, informed, directly helpful in trying to think about where we are now. The literature of the time after begins here." --Evening Standard (UK)In this extraordinarily elegant work written from lockdown in Italy as the crisis deepened day to day, Paolo Giordano, the internationally bestselling writer of The Solitude of Prime Numbers with a PhD in physics, shows us what this outbreak really is about: human interconnectedness.Illuminating the big picture of how the disease spreads with great simplicity and mathematical insight and placing it in the context of other modern crises like climate change and xenophobia, Giordano reveals how battling the pandemic is ultimately about realizing how inextricably linked all our lives are and acting accordingly.Both timely and timeless, How Contagion Works is an accessible, deeply felt meditation on what it means to confront this pandemic both as individuals and as a community and empowers us not to show fear in the face of it.
