Extrait : Karol Józef Wojtyła (Wadowice, près de Cracovie, en Pologne, 18 mai 1920 - Vatican, 2 avril 2005) est un prêtre polonais, évêque puis archevêque de Cracovie, cardinal, élu pape de l'Église catholique romaine le 16 octobre 1978 sous le nom de Jean-Paul II (en latin Ioannes Paulus II, en italien Giovanni Paolo II). Son pontificat de 26 ans en fait le troisième plus long de l'histoire de l'Église après celui de Saint Pierre , et celui de Pie IX (31 ans). C'est le premier pape non italien depuis le pape hollandais Adrien VI en 1520, et le premier pape polonais de l'histoire de l'Église. Sa volonté de rapprocher les religions a conduit à sensiblement améliorer les relations de l'Église catholique avec les Juifs, les Églises orthodoxes, et les Anglicans. Il est à l'origine de la première réunion internationale inter-religieuse d'Assise en 1984, réunissant plus de 194 chefs de religions. Il parcourut plus de 129 pays pendant son pontificat, plus de cinq cents millions de personnes ayant pu le voir durant cette période, et institua de grands rassemblements comme les Journée mondiale de la jeunesse. Il béatifia 1340 personnes et canonisa 483 saints, soit plus que pendant les cinq siècles pr...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Norman Ernest Borlaug (March 25, 1914 September 12, 2009) was an American agronomist, humanitarian, and Nobel laureate who has been called "the father of the Green Revolution". Borlaug was one of only six people to have won the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. He was also a recipient of the Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian honour. Borlaug received his Ph.D. in plant pathology and genetics from the University of Minnesota in 1942. He took up an agricultural research position in Mexico, where he developed semi-dwarf, high-yield, disease-resistant wheat varieties. During the mid-20th century, Borlaug led the introduction of these high-yielding varieties combined with modern agricultural production techniques to Mexico, Pakistan, and India. As a result, Mexico became a net exporter of wheat by 1963. Between 1965 and 1970, wheat yields nearly doubled in Pakistan and India, greatly improving the food security in those nations. These collective increases in yield have been labeled the Green Revolution, and Borlaug is often credited with saving over a billion people worldwide from starvation. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 in recognition of his contributions to world peace through increasing food supply. Later in his life, he helped apply these me...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=275564 ... Read more

Excerpt: Alfred Tarski (January 14, 1901, Warsaw, Poland, Russian Empire October 26, 1983, Berkeley, California) was a Polish logician and mathematician. Educated at the University of Warsaw and a member of the Lwow-Warsaw School of Logic and the Warsaw School of Mathematics and philosophy, he emigrated to the USA in 1939, and taught and carried out research in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1942 until his death. A prolific author best known for his work on model theory, metamathematics, and algebraic logic, he also contributed to abstract algebra, topology, geometry, measure theory, mathematical logic, set theory, and analytic philosophy. Tarski's student Robert Vaught ranked Tarski as one of the four greatest logicians of all time, along with Aristotle, Kurt Gödel, and Gottlob Frege, although Tarski himself expressed great admiration for Charles Sanders Peirce. His biographers Anita and Solomon Feferman state that, "Along with his contemporary, Kurt Gödel, he changed the face of logic in the twentieth century, especially through his work on the concept of truth and the theory of models." Alfred Tarski was born Alfred Teitelbaum (Polish spelling: "Tajtelbaum"), to parents who were Polish Jews in comfortable circumstances. He first manifested his mathematical abilities while in secondary school, at Warsaw's Szkoa Mazowiecka. Nevertheless, he entered the University of Warsaw in 1918 int...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=59920 ... Read more
