Introducing Infinity - Brian Clegg - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

Infinity is a profoundly counter-intuitive and brain-twisting subject that has inspired some great thinkers - and provoked and shocked others.The ancient Greeks were so horrified by the implications of an endless number that they drowned the man who gave away the secret. And a German mathematician was driven mad by the repercussions of his discovery of transfinite numbers.Brian Clegg and Oliver Pugh''s brilliant graphic tour of infinity features a cast of characters ranging from Archimedes and Pythagoras to al-Khwarizmi, Fibonacci, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Cantor, Venn, Gödel and Mandelbrot, and shows how infinity has challenged the finest minds of science and mathematics. Prepare to enter a world of paradox.

Money, Magic, and How to Dismantle a Financial Bomb - David Orrell - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

Money has many apparently magical properties. It can be created out of the void - and vanish without so much as a puff of smoke. It can flash through space. It can grow without limit. And it can blow up without warning.David Orrell argues that the emerging discipline of quantum economics, of which he is at the forefront, is the key to shattering the illusions that prevent us from understanding money''s true nature.In this colourful tour of the history, philosophy and mathematics of money, Orrell demonstrates how everything makes much more sense when we replace our classical economic models with ones based on quantum probability - and reveals the explosive reality of what is left once the illusions are stripped away.

Introducing Quantum Theory - J. P. Mcevoy - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

Quantum theory confronts us with bizarre paradoxes which contradict the logic of classical physics.At the subatomic level, one particle seems to know what the others are doing, and according to Heisenberg''s "uncertainty principle", there is a limit on how accurately nature can be observed. And yet the theory is amazingly accurate and widely applied, explaining all of chemistry and most of physics.Introducing Quantum Theory takes us on a step-by-step tour with the key figures, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and Schrodinger. Each contributed at least one crucial concept to the theory. The puzzle of the wave-particle duality is here, along with descriptions of the two questions raised against Bohr''s "Copenhagen Interpretation" - the famous "dead and alive cat" and the EPR paradox. Both remain unresolved.

The Milky Way Smells of Rum and Raspberries - Jillian Scudder - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

An offbeat guided tour of the Universe, focusing on weird and wonderful facts. Astrophysicist Dr Jillian Scudder knows more than most of us what a surreal place the Universe can be. In this light-hearted book she delves into some of the more arcane facts that her work has revealed, and tells us how we have actually managed to discover these amazing truths. Did you know: the galaxy is flatter than a credit card; supermassive black holes can sing a super-low B flat; it rains iron on a brown dwarf, and diamonds on Neptune; you could grow turnips on Mars if its soil weren't full of rocket fuel; the Universe is beige, on average; Jupiter's magnetic field will short-circuit your spacecraft - and, of course, the Milky Way smells of rum and raspberries.

Seven Pillars of Science - John Gribbin - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

John Gribbin, author of Six Impossible Things, shortlisted for the Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize, presents a tour of seven fundamental scientific truths that underpin our very existence.These ''pillars of science'' also defy common sense. For example, solid things are mostly empty space, so how do they hold together? There appears to be no special ''life force'', so how do we distinguish living things from inanimate objects? And why does ice float on water, when most solids don''t? You might think that question hardly needs asking, and yet if ice didn''t float, life on Earth would never have happened.The answers to all of these questions were sensational in their day, and some still are. Throughout history, science has been able to think the unthinkable - and Gribbin brilliantly shows the surprising secrets on which our understanding of life is based.

Introducing Shakespeare - Nick Groom - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare''s absolute pre-eminence is simply unparalleled. His plays pack theatres and provide Hollywood with block-buster scripts; his works inspire mountains of scholarship and criticism every year. He has given us many of the very words we speak, and even some of the thoughts we think.Nick Groom and Piero explore how Shakespeare became so famous and influential, and why he is still widely considered the greatest writer ever. They investigate how the Bard has been worshiped at different times and in different places, used and abused to cultural and political ends, and the roots of intense controversies which have surrounded his work. Much more than a biography or a guide to his plays and sonnets, Introducing Shakespeare is a tour through the world of Will and concludes that even after centuries, Shakespeare remains the battlefield on which our very comprehension of humanity is being fought out.

Dear Bill Bryson - Ben Aitken - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE ACCLAIMED THE GRAN TOUR AND THE MARMALADE DIARIESAn irreverent homage to the ''95 travel classic.''It would be wrong to view this book as just a highly accomplished homage to a personal hero. Aitken''s politics, as much as his humour, are firmly in the spotlight, and Dear Bill Bryson achieves more than its title (possibly even its author) intended.'' Manchester ReviewIn 2013, travel writer Ben Aitken decided to follow in the footsteps of his hero - literally - and started a journey around the UK, tracing the trip taken by Bill Bryson in his classic tribute to the British Isles, Notes from a Small Island.Staying at the same hotels, ordering the same food, and even spending the same amount of time in the bath, Aitken''s homage - updated and with a new preface for 2022 - is filled with wit, insight and humour.

Introducing Postmodernism - Chris Garratt - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

What connects Marliyn Monroe, Disneyworld, "The Satanic Verses" and cyber space? Answer: Postmodernism. But what exactly is postmodernism?This Graphic Guide explains clearly the maddeningly enigmatic concept that has been used to define the world''s cultural condition over the last three decades.Introducing Postmodernism tracks the idea back to its roots by taking a tour of some of the most extreme and exhilarating events, people and thought of the last 100 years: in art - constructivism, conceptual art, Marcel Duchamp, Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol; in politics and history - McCarthy''s witch-hunts, feminism, Francis Fukuyama and the Holocaust; in philosophy - the work of Derrida, Baudrillard, Foucault and Heidegger.The book also explores postmodernism''s take on today, and the anxious grip of globalisation, unpredictable terrorism and unforeseen war that greeted the dawn of the 21st century.Regularly controversial, rarely straightforward and seldom easy, postmodernism is nonetheless a thrilling intellectual adventure. Introducing Postmodernism is the ideal guide.

Introducing Hinduism - Borin Van Loon - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

Why do Hindus revere the cow?Must Hindus be vegetarian? Hinduism is the world''s oldest religion, yet the word ''Hindu'' was never used before the 18th century by Hindus to describe themselves. it is defined as polytheistic, but Gandhi declared that a Hindu needn''t believe in any god. it is a religion as much of myth as of history - it has no founder, no single authoritative book, even few central doctrines.Introducing Hinduism offers a guide to the key philosophical, literary, mythological and cultural traditions of the extraordinarily diverse faith. It untangles the complexities of Hinduism''s gods and goddesses, its caste system and its views on sex, everyday life and asceticism. Vinay Lal and Borin Van Loon''s hugely enjoyable tour through Hinduism also explores its links with and differences from Buddhism, Jainism and other religions, the resurgence of Hindu extremism, the phenomenon of Bollywood and the overseas Hindu diaspora.

Another Bone-Swapping Event - Brad Fox - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

Brad Fox takes us on a mind-bending exploration of meaning, matter, and plants, stemming from a year in the high jungles of northeastern Peru. In Another Bone-Swapping Event, Brad Fox tells the story of a wild year spent stuck in the high jungles of Peru, living with a family of Quechua-speaking curanderos - traditional medicine practitioners -responsible for a 100-hectare stretch of jungle just outside of Tarapoto in the northeastern part of the country, four hours' walk from the nearest dirt road. In the care of local maestro Miguel Tapullima, Fox takes readers on a labyrinthine tour of meaning and matter, navigating elementary metaphysics, the wavering ambiguity of phenomena, and the absurdities of the moment. Through it all, the lush prose turns this book into its own mind-altering experience because, with Brad Fox as our guide, we're able to engage with mind-altering possibilities that we may never have considered before.

The Cryotron Files - Iain Dey - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

Dudley Buck was a brilliant scientist who developed or invented several early pieces of now-common technology (e.g. microchips, flash drives)in the 1950s. Like his Nobel-winning colleagues, he might have benefitted from them greatly, had he not died aged 32 of a mysterious heart attack, just after a high-profile group of Soviet scientists visited his lab on a cold war-era tour of the USA. Buck was not the only scientist to expire that day - his colleague Dr Ridenour, chief scientist at Lockheed, also died of an unexplained heart attack. Both deaths are consistent with KGB contact-poison hits.Recently discovered papers reveal Buck''s extensive career in clandestine government work, that had led to his contact with Russia''s top computer scientists. His work was filed away and rediscovered in the 1980s when it was used in research projects by NASA.A fascinating narrative history of Cold War era computer and tech research, combining social historical elements to produce a brilliant portrait of America in the mid-20th century.
