Download or read book Eureka written by Chad Orzel and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to science, too often people say "I just don't have the brains for it" -- and leave it at that. Why is science so intimidating, and why do people let themselves feel this way? What makes one person a scientist and another disinclined even to learn how to read graphs? The idea that scientists are people who wear lab coats and are somehow smarter than the rest of us is a common, yet dangerous, misconception that puts science on an intimidating pedestal. How did science become so divorced from everyday experience? In Eureka, science popularizer Chad Orzel argues that even the people who are most forthright about hating science are doing science, often without even knowing it. Orzel shows that science is central to the human experience: every human can think like a scientist, and regularly does so in the course of everyday activities. The common misconception is that science is a body of (boring, abstract, often mathematical) facts. In truth, science is a process: Looking at the world, Thinking about what makes it work, Testing your mental model by comparing it to reality, and Telling others about your results -- all things that people do daily. By revealing the connection between the everyday activities that people do -- solving crossword puzzles, playing sports, or even watching mystery shows on television -- and the processes used to make great scientific discoveries, Eureka shows that this process is one everybody uses regularly, and something that anyone can do.

Download or read book 10 Minute Crosswords written by Martin Ashwood-Smith and published by Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Casual solvers will love this collection of 72 intriguing crosswords, because it offers them something unique and totally original: a new, brilliantly conceived mix of the challenging and the attainable. What makes the puzzles a little harder than usual? They have what's called a "wide open" style, which means the grids contain very few black squares and the answers tend to be long. As a rule, such puzzles delight only crossword mavens, because the clues can be extremely difficult--as in the Friday examples from the New York Times or Los Angeles Times. But these puzzles break the mold with reader-friendly clues that allow even non-experts to complete an interesting crossword while having fun along the way. There's nothing else like it.

Download or read book Word written by Natan Last and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Created by Natan Last, a senior at Brown University, three-time intern with Will Shortz, and in 2008 the youngest person to have a puzzle published in the Sunday New York Times, Word kicks the crossword puzzle squarely into the 21st century for a new generation of puzzle-lovers, replacing fusty crossword-ese with hip cultural references, modern wordplay, and a lively mix of high-and low-brow pop trivia. A Word puzzle begins with the shared knowledge of a literate but not-so-reverent generation, and celebrates the knowingness with a deft touch. Your parents' crosswords make solvers feel smart. Word puzzles make solvers feel smart and cool, getting the references to The Daily Show, Mario Brothers, the Goo Goo Dolls, and a hefty dose of nostalgia (the name of the motel in Psycho). But they also know the core curriculum: Charlotte Bronte's Jane, Roman generals, Berlioz and von Bismarck, Homer—and not just Homer Simpson. The puzzles are constructed with all the smarts of a daily Times crossword: themes, interconnected clues, titles that unlock the overall puzzle (solve all the clues and the circle letters will spell out a famous name at Hogwarts). Assisting Mr. Last is a group of five more top “under 25” constructors, all of whom have published puzzles in The New York Times.

Download or read book 72 Puzzles from the Daily Paper written by Peter Gordon and published by Sterling Publishing Company Incorporated. This book was released on 2003-03 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two great collections, 144 puzzles in all, will delight and test the skills of any crossword lover! What makes these crossword puzzles, from New York City's newest newspaper, the best ever? They're carefully edited to get rid of the junk that shows up in crosswords over and over again. Those obscure words that nobody actually uses (like agio, etui, and esne) are kept to an absolute, bare minimum. Instead, the solving pleasure arises from tricky clues and witty puns. Four-fifths of the puzzles have clever and original themes, too, which add to the fun (look at the title for a hint). Plus, solvers will enjoy the wide range of difficulty, which is indicated by the number of stars on top. Those that come from the Monday paper are simple, but the Friday puzzles, especially the themeless "Weekend Warrior" crosswords, are the toughest in America. They will challenge even the best solvers--and inspire newcomers to the world of crosswords to work their way up! A special treat: the answer to the very last puzzle from the original New York Sun, which shut down on January 4, 1950, is printed in Volume 1. At last, you can check your solution!
