Book excerpt: Curiouser and Curiouser . . . Mainstream math education over the last century has concretized an approach to mathematics that is rote, anxiety-producing, and far too focused on outcomes rather than the journey of discovery. In Chasing Rabbits, educator Sunil Singh offers an approach to mathematics that advocates getting lost, slowing down, feeling bewildered and disoriented, and even failing. Engaging with math in this way, he argues, can not only accomplish greater buy-in and enjoyment from math learners, but it can also affirm our sense of humanity and wellness overall. Singh invites the reader to explore his philosophy of mathematics through relating math to other disciplines, and to figures as diverse as MC Escher and Anthony Bourdain. Singh also delves into variously complex mathematical problems to offer concrete examples of what doing math differently looks and feels like. Mathematics, Singh demonstrates, ought to be a site not of stress and anxiety, but of wonder and joy. Endorsements "If you want to learn about what it's like to live a mathematical life by sitting around the campfire with a mug of cocoa, listening to a great storyteller who has done just that, this book is for you. It's superb. I loved it." -Keith Devlin, Stanford University "This book is a fascinating journey that illuminates the wonder, joy, and beauty of mathematics!" -Trena Wilkerson, NCTM president "Sunil Singh is a powerful storyteller who paints a vivid picture of mathematical wellness." -Mona Toncheff, NCSM president "Insightful introspections, rich rumination, and unexpected metaphors abound in this book!" -Francis Su, author of Mathematics for Human Flourishing

Download or read book Chase the Rabbit written by F. A. Grieger and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-04-08 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans are being lied to We are lied to by our government, misled by the entertainment media, indoctrinated by our educational institutions, defrauded by our banking institutions, and subjugated by our employers. Nevertheless, we willingly grant these institutions power over nearly every aspect of our lives, and we even admire and assist those who are exploiting us. What is the purpose of the lies? To con each and every one of us out of our property rights, and to coerce us into consenting to our own fleecingwhile venerating and revering the thieves. This is true no matter if one is truly poor, or one is a member of the upper-middle class. It doesnt matter if you are black, white, Latino, Asian, straight, gay, lesbian, Democrat, Republican, employee, manager, small-business owner, or greyhound dog. No matter how you earn your living, all those in the middle class have one thing in common. Like the greyhounds in a dog race, we have all been duped into pursuing an illusion, a goal that has been held in front of us as The American Dream, a goal that has been deliberately rendered unattainable. This is because the act itself of chasing the rabbit is what enriches those few who benefit from our daily economic activity. Making the rabbit uncatchable ensures that we can never stop running after it. If youre a parent who cares about your childrens future, if youre elderly and burdened with constant worry about surviving on a fixed income from social security, if youre a small business owner drowning in the quicksand of onerous taxes and crippling regulation, if youre a college student or recent graduate crippled with student loan debtstruggling or even unable to find a decent paying job, or if youre simply fed up with government lies and propaganda touting false hope and change for greater economic prosperity, financial security, and opportunityall of which remain perpetually out of reach within these pages, you will learn what you can do about it.

Book excerpt: A deadly underground game might just be altering reality itself in this all-new adventure set in the world of the hit Rabbits podcast. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WALL STREET JOURNAL • “A wild ride . . . impossible to put down.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) It’s an average work day. You’ve been wrapped up in a task, and you check the clock when you come up for air—4:44 p.m. You check your email, and 44 unread messages have built up. With a shock, you realize the date is April 4—4/4. And when you get in your car to drive home, your odometer reads 44,444. Coincidence? Or have you just seen the edge of a rabbit hole? Rabbits is a mysterious alternate reality game so vast it uses the entire world as its canvas. Since the game started in 1959, ten iterations have appeared and nine winners have been declared. The identities of these winners are unknown. So is their reward, which is whispered to be NSA or CIA recruitment, vast wealth, immortality, or perhaps even the key to the secrets of the universe itself. But the deeper you get, the more dangerous the game becomes. Players have died in the past—and the body count is rising. And now the eleventh round is about to begin. Enter K—a Rabbits obsessive who has been trying to find a way into the game for years. That path opens when K is approached by billionaire Alan Scarpio, rumored to be the winner of the sixth iteration. Scarpio says that something has gone wrong with the game and that K needs to fix it before Eleven starts, or the whole world will pay the price. Five days later, Scarpio is declared missing. Two weeks after that, K blows the deadline: Eleven begins. And suddenly, the fate of the entire universe is at stake.
Download or read book Inspire Integrity written by Corey Ciocchetti and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspire Integrity is addicting. It focuses on what it means to live an authentic life. Its chapters encourage people of all ages and circumstances to understand that authentic success comes from the attainment of: (1) a sincere sense of contentment, (2) strong personal relationships, and (3) a solid character. This is much different from worldly success such as excessive wealth, fame and popularity - things which, in and of themselves, do not have the capacity to make a person happy. It is designed to help people look critically at their life, think through their decisions, set priorities and goals, develop a solid character, avoid serious mistakes and discover their true passion in life. It draws on the major ethical frameworks of Aristotle, Mill and Kant as well as the Golden Rule as tools to avoid Benjamin Franklin's warning that people tend to get old too soon and wise too late. It presents a roadmap to accomplish this mission and advocates that each reader start the journey to authentic success now! Inspire Integrity focuses on the story of Cash, the racing greyhound, who is world famous and has won tens of millions of dollars winning races. The biggest race of his life is on the horizon and everyone is there, including the press, to cover history in the making. If he wins the race his owner will receive a million-dollar prize. The night before the race, Cash reveals he's not going to race the next day and that he is retiring completely. Shocked, the owner asks him whether he is hurt, mad at her, or too old? He responds that it's none of those things. In fact, he's been doing a lot of critical thinking about his life and has come to the conclusion that all he's ever done is run around dirt racetracks, and he just cannot do it anymore. He finally understands that those little white rabbits that everyone encourages him to chase day and night aren't even real.
Download or read book Mathematics for Human Flourishing written by Francis Su and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ancient Greeks argued that the best life was filled with beauty, truth, justice, play and love. The mathematician Francis Su knows just where to find them."--Kevin Hartnett, Quanta Magazine" This is perhaps the most important mathematics book of our time. Francis Su shows mathematics is an experience of the mind and, most important, of the heart."--James Tanton, Global Math Project For mathematician Francis Su, a society without mathematical affection is like a city without concerts, parks, or museums. To miss out on mathematics is to live without experiencing some of humanity's most beautiful ideas. In this profound book, written for a wide audience but especially for those disenchanted by their past experiences, an award-winning mathematician and educator weaves parables, puzzles, and personal reflections to show how mathematics meets basic human desires--such as for play, beauty, freedom, justice, and love--and cultivates virtues essential for human flourishing. These desires and virtues, and the stories told here, reveal how mathematics is intimately tied to being human. Some lessons emerge from those who have struggled, including philosopher Simone Weil, whose own mathematical contributions were overshadowed by her brother's, and Christopher Jackson, who discovered mathematics as an inmate in a federal prison. Christopher's letters to the author appear throughout the book and show how this intellectual pursuit can--and must--be open to all.

Download or read book Dead Rabbits written by Scott Flanigan and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-25 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dead Rabbits" was the name given to a street gang in New York City who were depicted in the Martin Scorsese fictional film Gangs of New York. Just as it was for that notorious group in the movie, Lieutenant Scott Flanigan describes his gang of "Dead Rabbits" as a 2nd Platoon unit made up of rough and tough soldiers from all over the United States who came together for a common purpose--control the streets of Baghdad and accomplish their mission. Upon arrival in Dora, Iraq, these courageous young men took ownership of those streets and fought to take care of the citizens who walked them.In this incredible and moving memoir, Flanigan with author Brian Wood, have created a collaboration worthy of any reader wanting to learn more about American troops in Iraq; the brotherhood of a platoon; what sacrifices were made to offer staunch protection of innocent men, women, and children; and, the reality that "war is hell".Flanigan was part of a record-setting company who defeated more IEDs than any task force in the history of the United States military. Dead Rabbits is a story of a tenacious group of soldiers who battled for the freedom of the Dora citizens. It is a story of urban warfare, of how soldiers not only fought insurgents but also for the trust and friendship of the Iraqis by obtaining grant money to build new roads, sewers, and provide electricity--common, basic human needs. Dead Rabbits is a story of soldiers who kept the peace and kept their word, no matter how challenging their charge.
