William Holden Hutton (1860-1930) was a British historian and Dean of Winchester Cathedral. In this slim volume, Hutton writes of the long period of feudal anarchy following the death of King Henry I in 1135, during which Henry's implacable daughter, Mathilda, battled the ineffectual King Stephen. Hutton then describes the turbulent reign of the great King Henry II, the reigns of Kings Richard, John, Henry III, and of the first two Edwards, rulers who whether weak or strong, rigid or resourceful, were grimly opposed by their powerful barons. - Summary by Pamela Nagami

Se trata de los números y los datos que manejan las estadísticas, indispensables en el relato con el que se construye hoy en día la actualidad política, económica y social. Y para comprender la realidad cambiante y compleja en la que vivimos no se necesita un doctorado en matemáticas. Basta un poco paciencia y sentido común, pero sobre todo, se requiere la curiosidad que Tim Harford, autor de El economista camuflado, sabe contagiar a sus lectores para observar el mundo con otros ojos.

En 1637, Descartes révolutionne la manière que l'on a de faire de la géométrie : il pose les bases de ce que l'on appelle la "géométrie algébrique", qui associe, à chaque point de l'espace, 3 coordonnées. Cela permet de résoudre des problèmes géométriques avec des outils algébriques. Cette géométrie est dite "commutative", c'est-à-dire que le produit de deux quantités ne dépend pas de l'ordre des termes : A × B = B × A. Cette propriété est fondamentale, et l'ensemble de l'édifice mathématique en dépend.

La matematica rivista come prassi politica, e non solo come teoria, è un formidabile esercizio di democrazia: come la democrazia si fonda su un sistema di regole, crea comunità e lavora sulle relazioni. Come la democrazia, la matematica amplia ma non nega. Studiando matematica si capiscono molte cose sulla verità. Per esempio che le verità sono partecipate e pertanto i principî di autorità non esistono; che le verità sono tutte assolute ma tutte transitorie perché dipendono dall'insieme di definizione e dalle condizioni al contorno.

Who hasn't feared the math Minotaur in its labyrinth of abstractions? Now, in Out of the Labyrinth, Robert and Ellen Kaplan - the founders of The Math Circle, the popular learning program begun at Harvard in 1994 - reveal the secrets behind their highly successful approach, leading listeners out of the labyrinth and into the joyous embrace of mathematics.

For the past several decades, mathematicians did roughly what they'd always done, they sat in rooms, filled chalkboards, and published papers, the day-to-day practice of research mathematics was stagnant from one generation to the next. That era is now ending. Since the beginning of this year, AI systems have disproved open conjectures, solved problems thought to be beyond reach, and synthesized results across fields that no single human could hold in their head. Begin Proof is a long-form conversation series with the people at the frontier of this shift, including the researchers building the...

Mathematics vs. poetry: Brainy and beautiful 17-year-old Lillie, determined to never marry, begins an Old Maids' Club, while patient young Lord Silverdale advises, observes, and writes appropriate poetry. Candidates for membership must be young, beautiful (and pledged to remain so), and have rejected at least one offer of marriage. The often humorous stories these young women share make up the bulk of the tale. (Summary by TriciaG)

Their numerous publications were part of a movement that resulted in legislative support for a National Park Service (NPS) in 1916. Yard worked to promote the national parks as well as educate Americans about their use. Creating high ...

This work describes conditions and forces the black population of the South faced after freedom was brought by the Civil War. As Sinclair puts it at the outset of his book, ". . . the chief efforts of Southern leadership have been to curtail the freedom of the colored people, to minimize their liberty and reduce them as nearly as possible to the condition of chattel slaves." - Summary by Jim Locke
