Alone Together - Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other

The first home computers were being bought by people called hobby- ists. The people who boug…

SCIENCE IN ARCADY

These essays deal for the most part with Science in Arcady. 'Tis my native country: for I am not of those who 'praise the busy town.' On the contrary, in the words of the great poet who has just departed to join Milton and Shelley in a place of high collateral glory, I 'love to rail against it still,' with a naturalist's bitterness. For the town is always dead and lifeless. There are who admire…

This book assumes that you understood precalculus when you took it. So you used to know how to do things like factoring polynomials, solving high school geometry problems, using trigonometric identities. However, you probably can’t remember it all cold.

Will Limited Land, Water, and Energy Control Human Population Numbers in the …
