Discovering Life, Manufacturing Life
by Paulette M. Vignais Pierre V. VignaisThis book tells the story of how thinkers, over time, have dared to explore using experimental devices and how the experimental method established itself and took a predominant role in the life sciences. While life sciences continue to advance and knowledge becomes more widespread and accessible, philosophers now focus on problems of ethics particularly with respect to the reproductive functions that contemporary biology is able to manipulate and modify. Looking at the stunning progress made by scientific thought over the last five centuries we might ask ourselves what were the triggering factors that lead to the experimental method. How did this logical and objective approach to the exploration of various enigmas in nature arise and spread at a particular moment in time in the western world? Was there an influence from the social, religious or political context? Was the energy of a few individuals sufficient to initiate such a revolution? The authors of this book take us on journey of the mind, from the ancient roots of scientific rationality to today's irresistible trend in genetic manipulation, particularly focused on human beings. Inevitably this will lead the reader to view the way in which science is done today under a new light. A fascinating discussion, based on concrete examples and experiments, provides food for thought, not only with respect to the experimental method itself, but also regarding the organization of science as it exists today and how it is perceived.

Changes of spelling and meaning and disagreements about the history of the words are discussed, supported by references within the text to authoritative food historians and dictionary writers from Johnson and Webster to the most recent publications.

Disparos, plata y celuloide: Historia, cine y fotografía en México 1846-1982
by Ricardo Pérez MontfortEn cierto sentido, la historia no es lo que ocurrió, sino lo que creemos que ocurrió. Piense usted en Pancho Villa. La imagen que tiene en la mente fue fijada por una fotografía o una película. Y sucede exactamente igual con Lázaro Cárdenas, Emiliano Zapata, una adelita, «un tendero gallego de los años cincuenta», «un apacible pueblito de provincia», cualquier «rancho de inicios del siglo XX» y, de hecho, con buena parte de los grandes momentos, referencias y personajes de la historia mexicana.En este sentido, el cine y la fotografía nos han “enseñado” más historia que los libros de la SEP. En esta obra, el historiador Ricardo Pérez Montfort ofrece una serie de ensayos sobre este fenómeno. ¿Cómo es que la memoria colectiva ha sido delineada por el celuloide? ¿Qué mitos de la historia patria son culpa de los haluros de plata? ¿Cuáles son algunas de las representaciones másdelirantes de los próceres mexicanos? ¿Qué significa que nuestra educación histórica se haya forjado en salas oscuras? ¿Quién da forma a la memoria de un país? Con una prosa rigurosa y entrañable, el autor inicia su recorrido a finales del siglo XIX, transita por el Porfiriato, “observa a los observadores” de la Revolución, atestigua la conformación identitaria del México moderno, mira cómo el cine ha construidohéroes y demonios, y termina con un drama cuya importancia no hemos terminado de aquilatar: el incendio de la Cineteca Nacional en 1982.
