Kroz carstvo nauka

by Milutin Milanković

Knjiga "Kroz carstvo nauka" nastavlja se tamo gde se završava Milankovićev slavni spis "Kroz vasionu i vekove". Ona je produžetak putovanja koje je Milanković započeo nekoliko decenija ranije i umnogome upotpunjuje i produbljuje njegove slike. Kroz portrete najvećih umova nauke i filozofije - Pitagore, Demokrita, Aristotela, Arhimeda, Kopernika, Njutna, Darvina... Milanković predstavlja najznačajnije ideje, naučna i filozofska znanja na kojima počiva zapadnoevropska civilizacija. Tonom i lepotom kazivanja o različitim kulturama i prilikama u kojima su nastajali Milankovićevi junaci, zatim jezikom i stilom, knjiga "Kroz carstvo nauka", kao i njegovo delo "Kroz vasionu i vekove", nesumnjivo poseduje sve odlike neprevaziđenih naučnih bestselera XX veka.

About the author

Milutin Milanković (Serbian: Милутин Миланковић, pronounced [milǔtin milǎːnkɔʋitɕ]; 28 May 1879 – 12 December 1958) was a Serbian geophysicist and civil engineer, best known for his theory of ice ages, suggesting a relationship between Earth's long-term climate changes and periodic changes in its orbit, now known as Milankovitch cycles. Milanković gave two fundamental contributions to global science. The first contribution is the „Canon of the Earth’s Insolation”, which characterizes the climates of all the planets of the Solar system. The second contribution is the explanation of climate change on the Earth caused by changes in the position of the Earth in comparison to the Sun. This explained the ice ages occurring in the geological past of the Earth, as well as the climate changes on the Earth which can be expected in the future.
