An inclusive vision of mathematics--its beauty, its humanity, and its power to build virtues that help us all flourish

Su F: Mathematics for Human Flourishing

Mathematics for Human Flourishing

The story of the ancient world's most spectacular library, and the civilization that created it 'A thrilling trip back to Mesopotamia, birthplace of horoscopes and algorithms ... via the abundant records they left behind, written on clay tablets... absorbing... hums with life' - Mathew Lyons, Daily Telegraph 'Fascinating and rich in detail... provides an excellent survey of Mesopotamian literary classics.. and offers snippets of daily life' - Literary Review When a team of Victorian archaeologists dug into a grassy hill in Iraq, they chanced upon one of the oldest and greatest stores of knowledge ever seen: the library of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal, seventh century BCE ruler of a huge swathe of the ancient Middle East known as Mesopotamia. After his death, vengeful rivals burned Ashurbanipal's library to the ground - yet the texts, carved on clay tablets, were baked and preserved by the heat. Buried for millennia, the tablets were written in cuneiform: the first written language in the world. More than half of human history is written in cuneiform, but only a few hundred people on earth can read it. In this captivating new book, Assyriologist Selena Wisnom takes us on an immersive tour of this extraordinary library, bringing ancient Mesopotamia and its people to life. Through it, we encounter a world of astonishing richness, complexity and sophistication. Mesopotamia, she shows, was home to advanced mathematics, astronomy and banking, law and literature. This was a culture absorbed and developed by the ancient Greeks, and whose myths were precursors to Bible stories - in short, a culture without which our lives today would be unrecognizable. The Library of Ancient Wisdom unearths a civilization at once strange and strangely familiar: a land of capricious gods, exorcisms and professional lamenters, whose citizens wrote of jealous rivalries, profound friendships and petty grievances. Through these pages we come face to face with humanity's first civilization: their startling achievements, their daily life, and their struggle to understand our place in the universe.

Demystifying Academic Writing

Research in Creative Writing

An investigation into the powerful effects occurring at the threshold between articulation and inarticulation in original and translated works, this book models how creative writing research, practice, processes, products and theories can further academic thought. At the threshold of in/articulacy, language can be said to 'thicken' and obscure the usual conditions of legibility or lexical meaning, becoming unfamiliar, flexible, incomplete, even absent. These 'thickening' moments alter and enrich literary processes and texts to initiate a paradigm shift in composition, translation and reading experiences. Interrogating this shift from the viewpoints of writers, translators and readers, Judy Kendall draws on translation studies, literary theory, anthropology, philosophy and physics and more to examine the practices of Semantic Poetry Translation, code-switching, made-up English, visual text, vital materiality and the material-discursive. Breaking new ground with her enactment of the ways in which creative writing can take an active and productive lead in research enquiries, Kendall looks at works including Old English riddles, Nigerian novels, J R. R. Tolkien's and Ursula K. Le Guin's narratives, Caroline Bergvall's hybrid works, Caryl Churchill's The Skriker, Patrick Chamoiseau's novels, Zong! and several other visual texts.

An accessible introduction to mathematical infinity for the endlessly curious &nbsp; Infinity has traditionally been a topic for philosophers, physicists, and artists, and it can be large, scary, or highly metaphorical. For mathematicians, however, infinity is not frightening or hopelessly abstract (though it is certainly big) but rather is a normal part of their work. In this guide, award-winning professor and author Edward R. Scheinerman offers an exploration of infinity for the curious. This is real math for real people, and you do not need a mastery of calculus to understand and enjoy it. &nbsp; Through witty and accessible prose, along with many illustrations, Scheinerman demonstrates how infinity is used in algebra, geometry, and logic, touching on hyperreal numbers, the hyperbolic plane, transfinite ordinals, and more. He ends each chapter with tantalizing questions to inspire readers toward further—infinite?—investigation. This book, by the author of The Mathematics Lover’s Companion, is for students, mathophiles, engineers, scientists, accountants—even people who fear mathematics!

How The Solar System Shaped Human History - And May Help Save Our Planet 'A stunning history of how we've come to understand environmental change on Earth...A rich, eye-opening tapestry, and beautifully told!' LEWIS DARTNELL 'Masterfully shows that our understanding of some of the world's greatest threats has come from watching the stars' LUKE KEMP Our solar system is an extraordinary place where asteroids careen off course and solar winds hurl charged particles across billions of miles of space. Yet we seldom consider how these events, so immense in scale, influence our own fragile blue planet. In Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean, Dagomar Degroot traces the surprising threads linking humanity to the rest of the solar system. He reveals how the shifting sands of other planets have shaped geopolitics, spurred scientific and cultural innovation, and encouraged new ideas about the emergence and fate of life. Martian dust storms altered the trajectory of the Cold War and inspired fantastical stories about alien civilisations. Comet impacts on Jupiter led to the first planetary defence strategy. And volcanic eruptions spewed sulfuric acid into Venus's atmosphere, exposing the existential risks of global warming. But just as we expand the boundaries of space exploration, cosmic environments are becoming increasingly vulnerable to human activity. Yet, they may also hold the key to slowing down the climate crisis back on Earth. Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean urges us to develop an interplanetary environmentalism across a vast mosaic of entangled worlds and to consider the profound connections that bind us to the cosmos and each other. 'This dazzling book is an enormous contribution, challenging us to re-envision the universe and our place in it' SARAH STEWART JOHNSON 'Boldly taken environmental history where no historian has gone before...The book brims over with both interesting anecdotes and arresting perspectives on our place within the cosmos' J.R. McNEILL

Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean

A searing exposé of the new tools of corporate profiteering and a field guide to the deceptive tactics companies are using to cheat consumers out of their money—and how we can get ahead of them—from a leading voice in economic policy and executive director of a corporate watchdog think tank Everywhere you turn, Americans are getting ripped off: Landlords use software to band together and organize artificial rent hikes. Ride-sharing apps spike the price of trips when your phone is about to die. Online ticket sellers hide behind exorbitant processing fees. And car companies install software that reports your driving behavior to insurance companies so that they can raise your premiums. Price gouging is the latest frontier in corporate profiteering—and it’s gutting the American economy and your wallet. In Gouged, economist and veteran consumer advocate Lindsay Owens takes us inside the corporate boardrooms where pricing decisions are made, uncovering the tricks, traps, and outright fraud corporations use to jack up the price you pay at checkout. From data collection to drone surveillance, modern technology provides companies a staggering arsenal of sophisticated tools to squeeze as much money out of consumers as possible, bringing in record profits as a result. Drawing on original reporting, shareholder meeting transcripts, and rigorous economic analysis, Owens takes aim at big-tech behemoths, airlines, health insurance companies, and more to pull back the curtain on how price gougers are coming for almost every line item in your household budget, from doctors’ visits to rent, groceries, and even your summer vacation. Gouged arms us with the essential knowledge we need to first recognize, then sidestep the traps that corporations try to conceal from us. In a world where price gouging has become ubiquitous, Gouged is necessary reading for anyone looking to stay an informed consumer, save money rather than surrender it to greedy CEOs, and stand up for fair prices in America.

'Exceptionally interesting' Alain de Botton 'A book that will transform how you understand human behaviour' Thomas Erikson 'Insightful and entertaining' Cal Newport 'Fascinating ... You'll never again view your own world in quite the same way' Ian Stewart Can physics change your life? It already has. In The Art of Physics, Zahaan Bharmal explains eight ideas from physics that have transformed his view of everyday life and will do the same for you. Far from being abstract, he argues, physics can help us answer very human questions, questions like: Why are some relationships unstable, while others last a lifetime? Why does inequality persist? And why do we all make so many irrational decisions? Drawing on quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, chaos and complexity theory, materials science and more, The Art of Physics reveals the hidden, surprising, and sometimes beautiful ways in which physics can help us to make sense of an unpredictable world. Ultimately, it shows how by embracing the paradoxes and uncertainty at the core of physics, we can unlock a deeper understanding of ourselves and our universe. A deeply personal and thoroughly entertaining tour of life, the universe, and everything.
