Nova saznanja o Nikoli Tesli predstavljena na Harvardu

Centar ze evropske studije Univerziteta Harvard i Harvardovo Južnoslovensko društvo organizovali su 11. februara panel koji je predstavio novo lice Nikole Tesle.

Događaj je započeo predavanjem Aleksandra Protića, direktora Tesla memorijalnog projekta i Federalnog savetnika Francuske Federacije za UNESKO o doprinosu svetskom miru Nikole Tesle, kao i o njegovom mestu u međunarodnoj baštini.

U nastavku je održana panel diskusija na kojoj je predstavljena knjiga "Put mira Nikole Tesle" u izdanju UNESKO Centra za mir, "Teslianum" energetskog inovacionog centra i Tesla memorijalnog projekta. Zbornik članaka osvetljava Teslin doprinos svetskom miru, strategijama, filantropiji, održivom razvoju, etičkom preduzetništvu, teme koje su gotovo nimalo poznate u vezi Tesle.

Štampano izdanje knjige se ne prodaje, već poklanja izuzetnim pojedincima koji su se posvetili Tesli.

Digitalna verzija knjige biće svima besplatno dostupna putem interneta. U knjizi, o Tesli pišu nobelovci, akademici, eksperti MENSA-e, UNESKO-a, UNICEF-a, čuveni pisci, profesori i studenti iz različitih zemalja.

The Hagia Sophia

The Mystical Light of the Great Church and its Architectural Dress

by Charalambos P. Stathakis

Dear reader, as you run like the rest of us along the dizzy main road, stop, stay aside for a while. Let the others be dizzy, and take the secret underground trail, which will lead you through the dewdrops of the leaves, the crystal smile of the sun, the city’s underground galler- ies, your knowledge, and your feelings, to the doorstep of the Hagia Sophia. Because all dew- drops, all sunrays, and all beauty lead there. That is what you will be told by my friend, the author, whom I am fond of and whom I send you to, Charalambos Stathakis: the doctor, the warm and humane researcher, the scientist devoted to his work and his patients, who has given a series of scientific papers, who, nevertheless, retains a nest of beauty untouched in his heart, which makes him outstanding—even though he is not a specialist in architecture, nor a historian, nor a theologian, nor a Byzantinist—it makes him stand out in all these together and in entirety.
