Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scientific Auction Bridge: A Clear Exposition of the Game to Aid Both the Beginner and the Experienced Player, With Explicit and Easy Rules for Bidding and Playing It is quite unnecessary to know anything of either Whist or Bridge to readily learn to play a good game of Auction Bridge. The three games have much in com mon, but some of the principles involved are so radically different that a beginner who knows nothing of the older game can about as readily learn what Whist and Bridge players really know of the new game as the latter players can unlearn what does not apply to it. The closer a player follows the probabilities on sizing up his hand, bidding, doubling, redoubling, leading, and so on, the bigger his score will average. This is the first work on Auction Bridge to enter thoroughly into the mathematical probabilities of the game.' Minor changes have resulted in the rules for the play of the cards to give their holder the benefit of increased chances to win. The great changes from methods commonly used by the average player come in the bidding system which is based upon mathematical facts.

Download or read book The Scientific Sublime written by Alan G. Gross and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sublime evokes our awe, our terror, and our wonder. Applied first in ancient Greece to the heights of literary expression, in the 18th-century the sublime was extended to nature and to the sciences, enterprises that viewed the natural world as a manifestation of God's goodness, power, and wisdom. In The Scientific Sublime, Alan Gross reveals the modern-day sublime in popular science. He shows how the great popular scientists of our time--Richard Feynman, Stephen Hawking, Steven Weinberg, Brian Greene, Lisa Randall, Rachel Carson, Stephen Jay Gould, Steven Pinker, Richard Dawkins, and E. O. Wilson--evoke the sublime in response to fundamental questions: How did the universe begin? How did life? How did language? These authors maintain a tradition initiated by Joseph Addison, Edmund Burke, Immanuel Kant, and Adam Smith, towering 18th-century figures who adapted the literary sublime first to nature, then to science--though with one crucial difference: religion has been replaced wholly by science. In a final chapter, Gross explores science's attack on religion, an assault that attempts to sweep permanently under the rug two questions science cannot answer: What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of the good life?
