Nació el 7 de noviembre de 1867 en Varsovia (Polonia), hija de un profesor de Física. En 1891 partió hacia París, donde se matriculó en el curso de Ciencias de la Universidad de la Sorbona. En 1894 conoció a Pierre Curie, quien se enamoró de ella y celebraron su matrimonio en 1895. Fue la primera en utilizar el término radiactivo. En 1898 el matrimonio anunció el descubrimiento de dos nuevos elementos: el poloni y el radio. En 1903 les concedieron el Premio Nobel de Física por el descubrimiento de los elementos radiactivos, que compartieron con Becquerel.

La historia peruana ha sido divida en tres grandes periodos, a saber: el prehispánico, desde la llegada de los primeros seres humanos hasta la caída del imperio inca, en 1532; el colonial o periodo español, entre 1532 y 1821, y el periodo republicano o independiente, entre 1821 y el momento actual.

Espacios mágicos y rituales, laboratorios de la cultura y de la técnica, los pasajes permiten pensar el gran texto urbano desde sus notas a pie de página. En Barcelona hay cerca de cuatrocientos. Algunos son caminos que conducen a un pasado rural; otros, pasadizos proletarios o callejones de chabolas que hablan de la metrópolis fabril y del franquismo; los más famosos tienen forma de intersecciones ajardinadas y de galerías burguesas del siglo XIX; los más recientes están en polígonos industriales o acogen casas con piscina y restaurantes para turistas.

Cinema emerged alongside the rules that ushered in boxing’s modern age and the “squared circle” proved the ideal stage for cinematic display. The public had its first taste of the new medium in 1894 through a heavyweight bout, recognized today as the world’s first feature film. Smash Hit: Race, Crime, and Culture in Boxing Films uses twenty films as the basis of a hard-nosed exploration as to how the genre held a bloody mirror to twentieth century America’s most prominent social anxieties, elucidating two conjoined mediums that serve as bellwether to an ever-shifting cultural zeitgeist.

Семь веков династия Рюриковичей правила Россией, а ты даже не знаешь их имён... Если бы не Рюрик и его потомки, история нашей страны могла пойти совершенно другим путём. Приняв правление над небольшими племенами, они оставили после себя одну из самых больших европейских стран (и Смуту в придачу). Среди Рюриковичей хватало самых разных правителей: от начитанных и справедливых князей до неотёсанных вояк и почти обезумевших царей. Такой же разнообразной они делали и историю России.

Designed to fill a long-empty gap in how we think about modern history, these 48 lectures are a comprehensive journey through more than 600 years of economic history.

The legacy of these warriors is shrouded in mystery and legend. So secretive are their missions that little is known about them beyond code names like Dagger, Ghost, Viper or Desert Scorpio.

Here, anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: He shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods - that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.

Islam has been one of the most powerful religious, social, and political forces in history. Over the last 1,400 years, from origins in Arabia, a succession of Muslim polities, and later empires expanded to control territories and peoples that ultimately stretched from southern France to East Africa and South East Asia. Yet many of the contributions of Muslim thinkers, scientists, and theologians, not to mention rulers, statesmen, and soldiers, have been occluded. This book rescues from oblivion and neglect some of these personalities and institutions.

Story
With incomparable wisdom, skill, and wit, world-renowned economist John Kenneth Galbraith traces the history of the major speculative episodes in our economy over the last three centuries. Exposing the ways in which normally sane people display reckless behavior in pursuit of profit, Galbraith asserts that our "notoriously short" financial memory is what creates the conditions for market collapse. By recognizing these signs and understanding what causes them we can guard against future recessions and have a better hold on our country's (and our own) financial destiny.

Story
This shocking exposé of a true-life Orwellian plot of nightmarish proportions reveals the chilling events of November 1984 following Indira Gandhi’s assassination and the cover-up by the Indian government. For more than three days, armed mobs systematically butchered, torched and raped members of the Sikh community in Delhi and other places, unchecked. The sheer scale of the killings exceeded the combined civilian death tolls of other conflicts such as Tiananmen Square and 9/11.
