Описание:
The internationally bestselling authors of The Cartoon Introduction to Economics return to make calculus fun
The award-winning illustrator Grady Klein has teamed up once again with the world's only stand-up economist, Yoram Bauman, Ph.D., to take on the daunting subject of calculus. A supplement to traditional textbooks, The Cartoon Introduction to Calculus focuses on the big ideas rather than all the formulas you have to memorize. With Klein and Bauman as our guides, we scale the dual peaks of Mount Derivative and Mount Integral, and from their summits, we see how calculus relates to the rest of mathematics. Beginning with the problems of speed and area, Klein and Bauman show how the discipline is unified by a fundamental theorem. We meet geniuses like Archimedes, Liu Hui, and Bonaventura Cavalieri, who survived the slopes on intuition but prepared us for the avalanche-like dangers posed by mathematical rigor. Then we trek onward and scramble through limits and extreme values, optimization and integration, and learn how calculus can be applied to economics, physics, and so much more. We discover that calculus isn't the pinnacle of mathematics after all, but its tools are foundational to everything that follows. Klein and Bauman round out the book with a handy glossary of symbols and terms, so you don't have to worry about mixing up constants and constraints. With a witty and engaging narrative full of jokes and insights, The Cartoon Introduction to Calculus is an essential primer for students or for anyone who is curious about math.

Описание: Shattered Minds is the first book to investigate how American military bureaucracies have let our troops down by failing to upgrade one of the most important pieces of personal safety equipment: the combat helmet. Two longtime employees of North Dakota defense contractor Sioux Manufacturing discovered that the required density of the Kevlar material woven into the netting of combat helmets was being shorted. After bringing their discovery to the attention of management, their boss, rather than cleaning up the illegal practice, accused them of having an adulterous affair. Both employees were fired, leading to a lawsuit and a court judgment in their favor that eventually brought the company’s bad-faith practices to light. Around the same time, a separate whistleblower, a retired Navy doctor, was pulled into a bizarre struggle with Army and Marine bureaucracies when he discovered from his Marine grandson that the protective webbing inside the military helmets was inadequate. Why was the military so resistant to upgrading the most essential piece of gear to protect soldiers from traumatic brain injury? Interweaving these two whistleblower stories, Robert H. Bauman and Dina Rasor explain why the military, despite news coverage and congressional hearings on the faulty helmet, continued to do the indefensible. They also suggest how the public, the press, and military institutions can remedy the problem to give U.S. troops effective helmets when serving to protect their country.

Описание:
Long Walk Home is a mixture of Garrison Keillor, Bruce Springsteen, and Billy Graham. It's colloquial, self-effacing, funny, poignant, and true -- a non-religious religious book about fatherhood, grace, and the foolishness of trying to earn what was already freely given. Long Walk Home is about life with my two fathers, God and Ed, and about the challenge of relating to fathers whose language isn't language.
Long Walk Home is a story about high school dating, Marine Corps boot camp, snake handling in eastern Kentucky, a cattle stampede at Mt. Rushmore, and a cycling world championship, all in a quest to please my fathers. It's The Great Santini with this difference: It's all true.
Long Walk Home challenges contemporary notions of fatherhood. This narrative demonstrates that the old fatherhood ought to be the new fatherhood. We ought to go back to the 50s, when father really did know best, to a time when a father wanted to raise a man, when fathers expected their sons to be tough, strong, and successful. They meant those sons to succeed, to stop the endless bellyaching, and simply to do the job. They expected sons to be men, not drama queens. This is a story about what happens when the paternal paradigm shifts. It's a story told not by the father, but by the son, a story that is instructive without being preachy. It lets the reader draw the obvious conclusions.
