The contemplation of this world drew me like a liberation, and I immediately noticed that many of the men I had learned to esteem and admire had found the own freedom and inner security by devoting themselves to it. The intellectual possession of this extrapersonal world mi Ybalenated to the mind, more or less consciously, as the highest goal among those granted to man.The friends who could not be lost were the men of the present and the past who had had the same goal, with the deep horizons they had been able to open up.</description></item><item><title>Scales, Dimensions, Measures</title><link>https://sandromagri.info/en/phys/bookslist/phys015/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Sep 2020 20:46:32 +0200</pubDate><author>sandro@freenetst.it (Sandro Magrì)</author><guid>https://sandromagri.info/en/phys/bookslist/phys015/index.html</guid><description>DRAFT - WORK IN PROGRES … Popular readings on physical scales, estimates, orders of magnitude Geoff Cottrell - Matter.
