Book excerpt: Erasing the Sky and Creating a New Horizon Living Life After a Traumatic Brain Injury Jaime Polites With Gabriella Gafni No one could have imagined that November 28, 1994, an ordinary day in Jaime Polites' life, would forever change her future. At 18, the world was at her feet. Through hard work, dedication, and perseverance, Jaime enjoyed the gifts of hope and promise. Always on the go, Jaime more than lived up to her namesake, the Bionic Woman, "Jaime Sommers," a fictional character in the 1970's television series. Juggling school, work, and an active social life was simply a matter of course for the vivacious teen, whose magnetic personality and infectious laugh drew everyone she met into her world. Then, just one semester away from earning her Associates Degree and moving on to college, Jaime made a fateful decision that forever altered her life. By accepting a dinner invitation from Eric, her former boyfriend, she had hoped to catch up, show him that she had moved on and was ascending the ladder of success. That innocent plan tranformed into a nightmare when, on the way home, Eric drifted into oncoming traffic. Although Eric's side of the car was totaled, he miraculously emerged with only a sprained ankle and a temporary limp. Jaime's side of the vehicle, however, displayed a minor, almost imperceptible dent. Tragically, the passenger inside was rendered comatose and fighting for her life. Judy and Gary Polites rushed to the hospital to be at their daughter's bedside, hoping against hope that she would defy the odds - and she did; but the road was long and painful, filled with uncertainty and incorrect diagnoses. After trial and error - and, ultimately, proper medical intervention, Jaime discovered that she was experiencing the symptoms of epilepsy. Supported and uplifted by her mother's love, strength, and tenacity, Jaime slowly integrated into life again. Despite intense personal disappointments and physical setbacks, her never-give-up approach never failed to win the day - and always does. In her compelling autobiography, Erasing the Sky and Creating a New Horizon - Living Life After a Traumatic Brain Injury, Jaime triumphantly demonstrates that all is possible through faith, hope, and optimism. Read her story, be inspired, and acknowledge the beauty of showing up for life. Jaime is an ambassador for Cyberonics, the pioneer in Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy.

Book excerpt: Called "spellbinding" (Scientific American) and "thrilling...a future classic of popular science" (PW), the up close, inside story of the greatest space exploration project of our time, New Horizons’ mission to Pluto, as shared with David Grinspoon by mission leader Alan Stern and other key players. On July 14, 2015, something amazing happened. More than 3 billion miles from Earth, a small NASA spacecraft called New Horizons screamed past Pluto at more than 32,000 miles per hour, focusing its instruments on the long mysterious icy worlds of the Pluto system, and then, just as quickly, continued on its journey out into the beyond. Nothing like this has occurred in a generation—a raw exploration of new worlds unparalleled since NASA’s Voyager missions to Uranus and Neptune—and nothing quite like it is planned to happen ever again. The photos that New Horizons sent back to Earth graced the front pages of newspapers on all 7 continents, and NASA’s website for the mission received more than 2 billion hits in the days surrounding the flyby. At a time when so many think that our most historic achievements are in the past, the most distant planetary exploration ever attempted not only succeeded in 2015 but made history and captured the world’s imagination. How did this happen? Chasing New Horizons is the story of the men and women behind this amazing mission: of their decades-long commitment and persistence; of the political fights within and outside of NASA; of the sheer human ingenuity it took to design, build, and fly the mission; and of the plans for New Horizons’ next encounter, 1 billion miles past Pluto in 2019. Told from the insider’s perspective of mission leader Dr. Alan Stern and others on New Horizons, and including two stunning 16-page full-color inserts of images, Chasing New Horizons is a riveting account of scientific discovery, and of how much we humans can achieve when people focused on a dream work together toward their incredible goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A photographic exploration of mathematicians’ chalkboards “A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns,” wrote the British mathematician G. H. Hardy. In Do Not Erase, photographer Jessica Wynne presents remarkable examples of this idea through images of mathematicians’ chalkboards. While other fields have replaced chalkboards with whiteboards and digital presentations, mathematicians remain loyal to chalk for puzzling out their ideas and communicating their research. Wynne offers more than one hundred stunning photographs of these chalkboards, gathered from a diverse group of mathematicians around the world. The photographs are accompanied by essays from each mathematician, reflecting on their work and processes. Together, pictures and words provide an illuminating meditation on the unique relationships among mathematics, art, and creativity. The mathematicians featured in this collection comprise exciting new voices alongside established figures, including Sun-Yung Alice Chang, Alain Connes, Misha Gromov, Andre Neves, Kasso Okoudjou, Peter Shor, Christina Sormani, Terence Tao, Claire Voisin, and many others. The companion essays give insights into how the chalkboard serves as a special medium for mathematical expression. The volume also includes an introduction by the author, an afterword by New Yorker writer Alec Wilkinson, and biographical information for each contributor. Do Not Erase is a testament to the myriad ways that mathematicians use their chalkboards to reveal the conceptual and visual beauty of their discipline—shapes, figures, formulas, and conjectures created through imagination, argument, and speculation.

What obstacles must you overcome, especially if you are a woman in a male dominated art world? This novel explores those questions through the story of a woman who grew up in rural Texas during the Great Depression. Although suffering the trauma of poverty, childhood abuse, and marriage to an unfaithful and domineering husband, she dedicates her life to becoming an artist. But that road is far from easy. Ultimately it will mean leaving her family and her home in Texas and venturing on a journey filled with many obstacles to overcome. This novel, told by the owner of a prestigious New York art gallery, will follow the life of this courageous woman in her quest to reach greatness as an artist and overcome her past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical—and accessible—plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions—suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.
