Книга известных зарубежных специалистов по истории науки в Росии, посвященная становлению Московской математическом школы. Авторы выдвигают и пытаются обосновать свою гипотезу об особой роли религизного мистицизма в форме имяславия для тематики так называемой "Лузитании" - первого этапа формирования современной математической
школы в России под руководством академика Н. Н. Лузина. Большое место в книге
уделено так называемому "lделу академика Лузина" - политизированного процесса, инспирированного репрессивным сталинским аппаратом и рядом учеников Лузина. Дело Лузина стало своеобразным прологом к репрессиий 1937 года. Книга, вышедшая в свет в 2009 году, стала бестселлером, вызвавшим противоречивые оценки. Книга представляет особый интерес для студентов математиков и историков, интересующихся
проблемами науки в советском предвоенном периоде.

But in this modern era, with electronic camera...

Translated by Henry Crew & Alfonso de Salvio, William Andrew Publishing, 300 pp. This work (1638) is about Galileo's experiments in bodies and motion. The publisher is not wrong at all in calling this work the given title of ".Two New Sciences". If anything it is Galileo's and his original Publisher's fault for naming both works in such a similar fashion:"Dialogues Concerning Two." The biggest difference is in the last words of title.
