Y Si...? Una Increible Forma de Percibir La Realidad

Sinopsis del Libro

"Some things are so huge or so old that it's hard to wrap your mind around them. But what if we took these big, hard-to-imagine objects and events and compared them to things we can see, feel and touch? Instantly, we'd see our world in a whole new way." So begins this endlessly intriguing guide to better understanding all those really big ideas and numbers children come across on a regular basis. Author David J. Smith has found clever devices to scale down everything from time lines (the history of Earth compressed into one year), to quantities (all the wealth in the world divided into one hundred coins), to size differences (the planets shown as different types of balls). Accompanying each description is a kid-friendly drawing by illustrator Steve Adams that visually reinforces the concept. An excellent classroom reference that can be reached for again and again when studying scale and measurement in math, and also for any number of applications in social studies, science and language arts.

La vida plural de Fernando Pessoa

«¡Sé plural como el universo!», reza un aforismo de Fernando Pessoa. Y así fue él como hombre y como poeta, de una multiplicidad única. A través de los autores a los que dio vida, como Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis o Álvaro Campos, el poeta portugués consiguió hacer una personalidad, un heterónimo, de cada uno de sus principales contradicciones. En sus páginas dejó testimonio de una de las obras y vidas más intrigantes de la literatura del siglo XX. Ajeno a los mitos de la historiografía romántica, Ángel Crespo relata la trayectoria vital del personaje, en un viaje a la...
