Download or read book Is That a Big Number written by Andrew Elliott and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impressive statistics are thrown at us every day - the cost of health care; the size of an earthquake; the distance to the nearest star; the number of giraffes in the world. We know all these numbers are important - some more than others - and it's vaguely unsettling when we don't really have a clear sense of how remarkable or how ordinary they are. How do we work out what these figures actually mean? Are they significant, should we be worried, or excited, or impressed? How big is big, how small is small? With this entertaining and engaging book, help is at hand. Andrew Elliott gives us the tips and tools to make sense of numbers, to get a sense of proportion, to decipher what matters. It is a celebration of a numerate way of understanding the world. It shows how number skills help us to understand the everyday world close at hand, and how the same skills can be stretched to demystify the bigger numbers that we find in the wider contexts of science, politics, and the universe. Entertaining, full of practical examples, and memorable concepts, Is That A Big Number? renews our relationship with figures. If numbers are the musical notes with which the symphony of the universe is written, and you're struggling to hear the tune, then this is the book to get you humming again.

Book excerpt: Rarely do see we stories written about God, and even less about His creation. Too frequently, we limit the first verse of the Bible to what happened here on earth. However, the verse could easily read: In the beginning God created Heaven and (fill in the blank). We forget that God is infinitely more capable of creating every what-if scenario that men can only imagine and write about. However, God can make any scenario real. In the movie Contact, the character played by Jodie Foster says, The universe is a pretty big place. If its just us, seems like an awful waste of space. The author of those words was Carl Sagan. I do not think he would have thought that way if he had seriously considered the themes in C. S. Lewis Space Trilogy. C. S. Lewis wrote his Space Trilogy about God quarantining his creations from each other in the existing solar system. What I do in this fictional novel is show how three of his creations work, in different parts of the universe, against a fourth to bring about Gods will of saving the remnant from each and giving them the opportunity to experience his redemption. Therefore, the overarching purpose of this novel was to expand Lewis idea of the universe as a whole, and show how each creation stood in the presence of God and how, through Gods sovereignty, His will is done among these different creations.
