Per celebrar Sant Jordi hem demanat a la gent del CRM que ens recomani un llibre. Un. El que tingueu al cap ara mateix. Set persones han respost, i entre les set han aconseguit cobrir quatre idiomes, almenys tres segles i cap gènere repetit. Ciència-ficció, filosofia cartesiana, ficció literària, un clàssic antibèl·lic, surrealisme bèl·lic, estoïcisme i una novel·la sobre cossos de dona. Tot en una sola llista.
Tomàs Sanz proposa L’illa de les dones del mar, de Lisa See.
“L’argument central és la relació de dues amigues a l’illa de Jeju (Corea), em va agradar molt perquè a través de l’argument explica la societat matriarcal de les haenyeo i la història de Corea al segle XX.”

Dídac Gil torna als clàssics amb Res de nou a l’oest, d’Erich Maria Remarque.
“Les vivències i impressions d’un soldat que ens apropa l’absurd d’un front on la vida es desfigura fins quedar desconeguda. Lectura que hauria de ser obligatòria per tots aquells que veuen la guerra com una cosa necessària i/o inevitable.”
Amaia Vielba recomana La educación física, de Rosario Villajos.
“Explica muy bien cómo se ha utilizado nuestro propio cuerpo (el de las mujeres) en nuestra contra desde que somos pequeñas.”
Jens-Bastian Eppler proposa The Last Days of New Paris, de China Miéville.
“A wildly imaginative novel where surrealist art comes to life and joins the fight against the Nazis in an alternative, fantastical version of Paris during late World War II.”
Udayraj Thorat recomana The Obstacle Is the Way, de Ryan Holiday.
“It provides a powerful Stoic reminder: ‘See things for what they are, do what you can, and endure what you must’.”
Natalia Vallina proposa el Tractat de les passions de l’ànima, de René Descartes.
“Quan un dels grans matemàtics i filòsofs del segle XVII intenta explicar les emocions humanes bàsiques (admiració, amor, odi, desig, alegria i tristesa) des d’una ment matemàtica, amb un enfocament quasi científic i fisiològic.”
Pau Varela tanca la llista amb Great North Road, de Peter F. Hamilton.
“És d’aquelles novel·les mastodòntiques que es guanyen cada pàgina: un misteri policiac, un trencaclosques de xenobiologia i una distopia corporativa tot plegat, en un futur brut i versemblant a parts iguals.”

Tracking Jet Streams as Coherent Structures: A New Mathematical Approach
A new method redefines how scientists can track jet streams, the high-altitude currents that shape weather patterns worldwide. Called JetLag, the algorithm treats jets as coherent structures in the flow of air rather than simply fast winds, recovering 85 years of...
