Winner of the Mathematics Association of America's 2021 Euler Book Prize, this is an inclusive vision of mathematics?its beauty, its humanity, and its power to build virtues that help us all flourish?This is perhaps the most important mathematics book of our time.

Read Or Download Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier by Neil deGrasse Tyson Full Pages.

America?s space program is at a turning point. After decades of global primacy, NASA has ended the space-shuttle program, cutting off its access to space. No astronauts will be launched in an American craft, from American soil, until the 2020s, and NASA may soon find itself eclipsed by other countries? space programs.With his signature wit and thought-provoking insights, Neil deGrasse Tyson?one of our foremost thinkers on all things space?illuminates the past, present, and future of space exploration and brilliantly reminds us why NASA matters now as much as ever.

For America to maintain its status as a global leader and a technological innovator, he explains, we must regain our enthusiasm and curiosity about what lies beyond our world.Provocative, humorous, and wonderfully readable, Space Chronicles represents

Read Or Download Fluid: The Approach Applied by Geniuses Over Centuries by Ashish Jaiswal Full Pages.

Whether we are in a classroom or in the outside world, we are always forced to choose who we are. Always expected to walk towards a fixed goal. Never be uncertain, never fail or never alter our course. We are either artists or scientists or businessmen. We are being constantly reminded to embrace these identities with greater force. As they say, the more we remain folded in our fields, the better specialists we are.Fluid shatters this myth by arguing that great minds who have changed the fate of humankind are actually the ones who failed, faltered or remained uncertain, yet never bothered to stay pasted to a rigid line. They were more. They were fluid.In captivating storytelling narrative, Ashish Jaiswal takes us through groundbreaking research unravelling what binds the likes of Leonardo da Vinci, CV Raman, Steve Jobs, Charles Darwin and other geniuses and why being fluid like them could be our biggest winning strategy in the age of artificial intelligence.Read to learn the approach

Read Or Download Cuisine and Empire: Cooking in World History by Rachel Laudan Full Pages.

Rachel Laudan tells the remarkable story of the rise and fall of the world?s great cuisines?from the mastery of grain cooking some twenty thousand years ago, to the present?in this superbly researched book. Probing beneath the apparent confusion of dozens of cuisines to reveal the underlying simplicity of the culinary family tree, she shows how periodic seismic shifts in ?culinary philosophy??beliefs about health, the economy, politics, society and the gods?prompted the construction of new cuisines, a handful of which, chosen as the cuisines of empires, came to dominate the globe. Cuisine and Empire shows how merchants, missionaries, and the military took cuisines over mountains, oceans, deserts, and across political frontiers. Laudan?s innovative narrative treats cuisine, like language, clothing, or architecture, as something constructed by humans. By emphasizing how cooking turns farm products into food and by taking the globe rather than the nation as the stage, she challenges
