Download or read book Magical Mathematics written by Persi Diaconis and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Magical Mathematics reveals the secrets of amazing, fun-to-perform card tricks--and the profound mathematical ideas behind them--that will astound even the most accomplished magician. Persi Diaconis and Ron Graham provide easy, step-by-step instructions for each trick, explaining how to set up the effect and offering tips on what to say and do while performing it. Each card trick introduces a new mathematical idea, and varying the tricks in turn takes readers to the very threshold of today's mathematical knowledge. For example, the Gilbreath principle--a fantastic effect where the cards remain in control despite being shuffled--is found to share an intimate connection with the Mandelbrot set. Other card tricks link to the mathematical secrets of combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, topology, the Riemann hypothesis, and even Fermat's last theorem. Diaconis and Graham are mathematicians as well as skilled performers with decades of professional experience between them. In this book they share a wealth of conjuring lore, including some closely guarded secrets of legendary magicians. Magical Mathematics covers the mathematics of juggling and shows how the I Ching connects to the history of probability and magic tricks both old and new. It tells the stories--and reveals the best tricks--of the eccentric and brilliant inventors of mathematical magic. Magical Mathematics exposes old gambling secrets through the mathematics of shuffling cards, explains the classic street-gambling scam of three-card monte, traces the history of mathematical magic back to the thirteenth century and the oldest mathematical trick--and much more"-

Download or read book First to Fall written by Ken Ellingwood and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vividly told tale of a forgotten American hero—an impassioned newsman who fought for the right to speak out against slavery. The history of the fight for free press has never been more vital in our own time, when journalists are targeted as “enemies of the people.” In this bnrilliant and rigorously researched history, award-winning journalist and author Ken Ellingwood animates the life and times of abolitionist newspaper editor Elijah Lovejoy. First to Fall illuminates this flawed yet heroic figure who made the ultimate sacrifice while fighting for free press rights in a time when the First Amendment offered little protection for those who dared to critique America’s “peculiar institution.” Culminating in Lovejoy’s dramatic clashes with the pro-slavery mob in Alton, Illinois—who were torching printing press after printing press—First to Fall will bring Lovejoy, his supporters and his enemies to life during the raucous 1830s at the edge of slave country. It was a bloody period of innovation, conflict, violent politics, and painful soul-searching over pivotal issues of morality and justice. In the tradition of books like The Arc of Justice, First to Fall elevates a compelling, socially urgent narrative that has never received the attention it deserves. The book will aim to do no less than rescue Lovejoy from the footnotes of history and restore him as a martyr whose death was not only a catalyst for widespread abolitionist action, but also inaugurated the movement toward the free press protections we cherish so dearly today.

Download or read book The Psychology of Teen Violence and Victimization written by Michele A. Paludi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-10-20 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compilation of original essays does more than just illuminate the serious problem of teen violence and victimization; it also provides resources that parents and teachers can use to address issues of violence with their teens and make a difference. While it's widely known that hate crimes represent a serious issue among today's adolescent population, most parents—and perhaps even some educators—may be unaware that gender-based violence is the most prevalent type of hate crime committed by and experienced by teens, and that adolescent girls are exposed to more violence than boys. A complete understanding of the nature of the problem is fundamental to curtailing problems like cyberbullying and sexual harrassment. The Psychology of Teen Violence and Victimization is a two-volume set that fills a gap in the current literature on teen violence by addressing the incidence, psychological explanations, and impact of all forms of teen violence. The author—a psychologist who has focused upon interpersonal problems centered on violence, harassment, and gender—provides in-depth discussion of the various types of violence committed by and against teens. The set offers actionable prevention strategies for parents and teachers as well as individuals involved in community programs. Special attention is given to the impact of violence on adolescents' emotional and physical health, interpersonal relationships, career development, and self-concept.

Download or read book Voices on the Wind written by Bonnie McGee and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voices on the Wind is a collection of stories and inspiring photographs from a 4 1/2 year circumnavigation on a 33 ft. sailboat. Often thought-provoking and always entertaining, each story takes the reader to a remote backwater, from Polynesia to an aboriginal outpost in Australia, to the islands of New Guinea, and finally to the treacherous coast of Africa. In the introduction, four-time circumnavigator, Webb Chiles, calls these stories the distillation of what a sensitive woman took away from the land and the sea. They cut to the essence of what makes a difficult journey worthwhile: the interaction with other cultures, and the power of those interactions to make us question all we thought we knew. Beautifully bound as 10x12 coffee table book, Voices on the Wind is the perfect gift for sailors, armchair travelers, and students of the human condition.

A peaceful world where humans and giant panthers have lived side-by-side for over a thousand years. Best friends Zan and Lexa, one human, one panther, are on the verge of becoming adults when tragedy strikes. Lexa, along with the rest of Zan's family, has been kidnapped by an unknown enemy. For the first time in his life, Zan is truly alone. The ancient prophecy has begun to unfold and it threatens to destroy all of the giant cats and the humans on the planet. The Ancient Ones have decreed that Zan and Lexa are the only pair capable of stopping the prophecy and to save both the panthers and the humans of Chandara. Only with the help of Lexa can Zan hope to defeat the coming evil. He must find his best friend and their parents and save them before it's too late. Without knowing where to look, he will be forced to travel to the other territories on Chandara to search for his family. Chitraka, the land of the cheetahs is a land dominated by females with little use for males. Ligeria, the land of the ligers is a male dominated society that lives to fight and kill. Either land would be a dangerous place for a young pair pf Pantherans, but without Lexa, his giant panther, Zan has little hope of succeeding. Still, he must try. For the first time in his life Zan will have to be a warrior and ambassador if he hopes to find his family and stop the evil that threatens the planet.
