Download or read book Mapmatics written by Paulina Rowińska and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I love maps. I love math. And gosh, do I love this book, which so beautifully and clearly sounds the depths of both.” —Ben Orlin, author of Math with Bad Drawings Explore the surprising connections between math and maps—and the myriad ways they’ve shaped our world and us. Why are coastlines and borders so difficult to measure? How does a UPS driver deliver hundreds of packages in a single day? And where do elusive serial killers hide? The answers lie in the crucial connection between maps and math. In Mapmatics, mathematician Paulina Rowińska leads us on a riveting journey around the globe to discover how maps and math are deeply entwined, and always have been. From a sixteenth-century map, an indispensable navigation tool that exaggerates the size of northern countries, to public transport maps that both guide and confound passengers, to congressional maps that can empower or silence whole communities, she reveals how maps and math have shaped not only our sense of space but our worldview. In her hands, we learn how to read maps like a mathematician—to extract richer information and, just as importantly, to question our conclusions by asking what we don’t see. Written with authority and compassion, wit and unforgettable storytelling, this is math exposition at its best. By unpacking the math behind the maps we depend on, Mapmatics illuminates how our world works and, ultimately, how we can better look after it.

But it was the discovery of his adoption that altered Liottis world, sending him down an uncharted path.

No matter his findings, though, Liotti realized how each of us has limitless potential and that love has an infinite capacity to change the world.

Download or read book Miles from Nowhere written by Barbara Savage and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2020-02-10 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miles from Nowhere is the story of Barbara and Larry Savage’s sometimes dangerous, often zany, but ultimately rewarding 23,000-mile bicycle odyssey, which took them through 25 countries in two years. Along the way, these near-neophyte cyclists on their ten-speeds encountered warm-hearted strangers eager to share food and shelter, bicycle-hating drivers who ran them off the road, various wild animals (including an attack camel), rock-throwing Egyptians, overprotective Thai policeman, motherly New Zealanders, meteorological disasters, bodily indignities, and great personal joys. The stress of traveling together constantly tested yet strengthened the young couple's relationship and as their trip ends, you'll find yourself yearning for Barbara and Larry to jump back on their bikes and keep pedaling. Originally published in 1983, Miles from Nowhere has provided inspiration for legions of modern travel-adventurers and writers.

Book Synopsis Everywhere in Chains by : James Casper
Download or read book Everywhere in Chains written by James Casper and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2013-11-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly thought-provoking, sometimes amusing and always life-affirming novel illustrates one family's experiences with America's criminal justice system. As Penelope searches for the truth about her father, she rattles the skeletons in her family's closet and shakes up the complacency of her community, which has tried to sweep the past under the rug. With both perception and compassion, the author creates a colorful cast of characters while challenging the wisdom of imprisoning the mentally ill. On the cusp of adulthood, Penelope begins to understand that she has grown-up in a web of silence. The denial in her family and small Minnesota hometown is so thick that she does not know how to cut through it, that is, until she begins a seemingly innocuous pen-pal correspondence with someone in another town. Little by little, Penelope unravels the secrets meant to protect her from the truth. She proves herself to be stronger and wiser than anyone could have predicted and leads the way to healing. Through the lives and interactions of the major characters, this story explores the sprawling psychological geography of America's criminal justice system and its profound effect on everyone it touches, even its most ardent proponents. While dealing with a serious, challenging subject, this book is also filled with warmth and likeable characters. The odyssey of Penelope concludes on a faith-affirming note with a parade of surprising revelations.
Book Synopsis Bridge of the Gods by : Len Robertson
Download or read book Bridge of the Gods written by Len Robertson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Brown, a divorced, forty year old housewife with five children suddenly finds herself eighteen years old, nude and lost in a land far different from anything she's ever seen. Then, she meets Fred and life gets infinitely more complicated. She's killed! Shortly afterward, she finds herself revived and pitted against Donovan Fausto in a life or death struggle. The best she can hope for is that she only gets herself killed. A horrific nuclear winter and a new "Dark Age" is far more likely. But first, Mary has to survive Boogey Monsters and their deadly short swords. A knife of her own would help, not to mention clothing, boots and a few friends to help her survive her first day in Galatia. Still, considering she needs years of training and experience if she means to match Donovan Fausto and she only has three weeks in which to do it, maybe it might be simpler for Mary if she dies. That way, she can't be blamed for the catastrophe to follow.
