2001: A Space Odyssey and Lacanian Psychoanalytic Theory (The Palgrave Lacan Series)
by Daniel BristowIn 1968, Stanley Kubrick completed and released his magnum opus motion picture 2001: A Space Odyssey; a time that was also tremendously important in the formation of the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan. Bringing these figures together, Bristow offers a study that goes beyond, as the film did. He extends Lacan's late topological insights, delves into conceptualisations of desire, in G. W. F. Hegel, Alexandre Koj#65533;ve, and Lacan himself, and deals with the major themes of cuts (filmic and psychoanalytic); space; silence; surreality; and 'das Ding', in relation to the movie's enigmatic monolith. This book is a tour de force of psychoanalytic theory and space odyssey that will appeal to academics and practitioners of psychoanalysis and film studies, as well as to any fan of Kubrick's work.
2001: Una Odisea Espacial (Odisea espacial #Volumen 1)
by Arthur C. ClarkeUn gran clásico de la ciencia ficción. Los doctores David Bowman y Frank Poole se encuentran a bordo del Discovery One con el objetivo de realizar una expedición a los confines del universo en busca de evidencias que confirmen que el ser humano no está solo. Les acompañan tres científicos en animación suspendida y HAL 9000, un ordenador excepcionalmente inteligente. Pero la misión se vuelve muy peligrosa cuando HAL empieza a fallar. ¿Se trata de un problema técnico? ¿O quizá Hal tiene voluntad propia? ¿Qué influencia ejerce el monolito?

Clarke colaboró estrechamente con Stanley Kubrick en la producción de la célebre película homónima. Reseña:«Clarkemezcla con maestría hallazgos, filosofía y un novedoso sentido del ritmo.»Time

2002: Memorias de la crisis
by Diego ZasEl periodista Diego Zas, a 20 años de una de las crisis económicas, políticas y sociales más profundas que tuvo Uruguay, nos relata en ágiles historias los entretelones de ese momento que marcara a un país. En 2002: memorias de la crisis Zas repasa el papel en aquel entonces del presidente Jorge Batlle visto por propios y ajenos; las negociaciones con el FMI; la relación de Batlle y George Bush; el rol del Frente Amplio; cómo un dirigente de AEBU, el gobierno y un medio de prensa intentaron frenar la corrida bancaria en un acuerdo secreto; la figura de Atchugarry y la articulación con el sistema político. Pero también preguntas que siguen en el aire: ¿existieron las hordas del Cerro?, ¿quién organizó los saqueos?, ¿hubo niños que comieron pasto? Con entrevistas exclusivas y removedoras, revelaciones importantes por parte de agentes políticos de la época y un trabajo de recopilación de archivo de magnitud, Zas logra revelar una foto de un pasado no tan lejano que dejó marcas en esta penillanura levemente ondulada llamada Uruguay. Un libro fundamental para la historia del país.

2006 Hurricane Risk
by Andre F. Perold Erik StaffordIn May 2006, a resident of Key West, FL had to decide whether to renew his policy to insure against hurricane damage. The policy would cost $13,000 for one year, $5,000 more than what he paid in 2005. At the same time, a wealthy California resident was contemplating an opportunity to buy a "cat note" that offered a high yield, but with a chance of losing the full investment if severe hurricanes struck the coastline of the United States.
2007 Amendments The National Academies' Guidelines For Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research
by National Research Council Institute of Medicine of the National AcademiesIn 2005, the National Academies released the report Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research, which offered a common set of ethical standards for a field that, due to the absence of comprehensive federal funding, was lacking national standards for research. In order to keep the Guidelines up to date, given the rapid pace of scientific developments in the field of stem cell research, the Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research Advisory Committee was established in 2006 with support from The Ellison Medical Foundation, The Greenwall Foundation, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. This letter report is the committee's first set of amendments to the Guidelines and clarifies earlier recommendations and conclusions, including the criteria for determining which stem cell lines it is acceptable to use. Future deliberations of the committee will address items for which additional information gathering and more extensive debate and discussion will be necessary.
