In 1941, Henry Miller, the author of Tropic of Cancer, was commissioned by a Los Angeles bookseller to write an erotic novel for a dollar a page. Under the Roofs of Paris (originally published as Opus Pistorum) is that book. Here one finds Miller's characteristic candor, wit, self-mockery, and celebration of the good life. From Marcelle to Tania, to Alexandra, to Anna, and from the Left Bank to Pigalle, Miller sweeps us up in his odyssey in search of the perfect job, the perfect woman, and the perfect experience.

El futuro de la humanidad: La terraformacion de Marte, los viajes interestelares la inmortalidad y nuestro destino mas alla de la tierra / The Future of Huma (9788499928364)
El último libro de Michio Kaku. Un relato sobre galaxias, tecnología y el futuro de la humanidad. Nuestro destino yace en las estrellas, no por nuestra curiosidad o pasión por los viajes, sino para asegurarnos nuestra propia supervivencia. Las edades de hielo, los impactos de asteroides, la capacidad de carga finita de la Tierra e incluso la futura muerte del sol son algunas de las amenazas existenciales que pueden destruir a la humanidad. Así que, o abandonamos la Tierra o deberemos asumir la idea de nuestra inevitable extinción como especie. En El futuro de la humanidad, el Dr. Michio Kaku explora los pasos necesarios para lograr este ambicioso objetivo, describiendo las tecnologías que nos permitirán colonizar y terraformar otros planetas, aprovechar los cielos en busca de materiales preciosos y finalmente establecernos en las estrellas. El Dr. Kaku nos presenta a lo largo de estas páginas a robots autoreplicantes, nanomateriales y cultivos de bioingeniería que permitirán a la humanidad terraformar Marte; las naves nanométricas, las velas láser, las máquinas de fusión ram-jet, los motores antimateria y los cohetes hiperimpulsores que nos llevarán a las estrellas; y las tecnologías radicales que alteran el cuerpo que nos permitirán sobrevivir al largo y agotador viaje de conquista del espacio.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The #1 bestselling author of The Future of the Mind traverses the frontiers of astrophysics, artificial intelligence, and technology to offer a stunning vision of man's future in space, from settling Mars to traveling to distant galaxies. Formerly the domain of fiction, moving human civilization to the stars is increasingly becoming a scientific possibility--and a necessity. Whether in the near future due to climate change and the depletion of finite resources, or in the distant future due to catastrophic cosmological events, we must face the reality that humans will one day need to leave planet Earth to survive as a species. World-renowned physicist and futurist Michio Kaku explores in rich, intimate detail the process by which humanity may gradually move away from the planet and develop a sustainable civilization in outer space. He reveals how cutting-edge developments in robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology may allow us to terraform and build habitable cities on Mars. He then takes us beyond the solar system to nearby stars, which may soon be reached by nanoships traveling on laser beams at near the speed of light. Finally, he brings us beyond our galaxy, and even beyond our universe, to the possibility of immortality, showing us how humans may someday be able to leave our bodies entirely and laser port to new havens in space. With irrepressible enthusiasm and wonder, Dr. Kaku takes readers on a fascinating journey to a future in which humanity may finally fulfill its long-awaited destiny among the stars.
