Synopsis

In "The Effect of External Influences upon Development," August Weismann presents a groundbreaking exploration of the interplay between environmental factors and biological development. Through a meticulous examination of various species, Weismann employs a scientific yet accessible literary style that bridges both natural history and biology, reflective of the dynamic intellectual debates of the late 19th century. He challenges the predominant Lamarckian views of inheritance by arguing for the primacy of genetic determinants, setting the stage for modern evolutionary thought and emphasizing the importance of separating the effects of nature and nurture in the context of organismal development. August Weismann was a pivotal figure in the history of biology, best known for his germ plasm theory, which fundamentally altered the understanding of heredity and evolution. His rigorous studies in zoology and botany, as well as his interactions with leading contemporaries, such as Charles Darwin, influenced his pursuit to uncover the mechanisms by which external influences shape biological forms. This background equipped Weismann with a critical perspective, propelling him to challenge established norms and seek a deeper understanding of the biological world. This book is an essential read for those interested in evolutionary biology, genetics, and the history of scientific thought. Weismann's insights remain influential today, offering a vital perspective for anyone wishing to grasp the complexities of development and inheritance. Scholarly yet approachable, it invites readers to contemplate the profound implications of environmental influences while appreciating the beauty and intricacies of life.

    From Stanford professor, author of Limitless Mind, youcubed.org founder, and leading expert in the field of mathematics education Jo Boaler comes a groundbreaking guide to finding joy and understanding by adopting a diverse approach to learning math. 
    “Every once in a while, someone revolutionizes an approach to a difficult subject and changes it forever. That is what Jo Boaler has done for math. Fresh, smart, and inclusive, Jo Boaler's strategy eschews the one-size-fits-a-few approach and instead allows math to be seen and solved by everyone. A huge achievement. Math-ish is the only math book I’ve ever enjoyed reading in my entire life. Honestly.” -Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry 
    Mathematics is a fundamental part of life, yet every one of us has a unique relationship with learning and understanding the subject. Working with numbers may inspire confidence in our abilities or provoke anxiety and trepidation. Stanford researcher, mathematics education professor, and the leading expert on math learning Dr. Jo Boaler argues that our differences are the key to unlocking our greatest mathematics potential. 
    In Math-ish, Boaler shares new neuroscientific research on how embracing the concept of “math-ish”—a theory of mathematics as it exists in the real world—changes the way we think about mathematics, data, and ourselves. When we can see the value of diversity among people and multi-faceted approaches to learning math, we are free to truly flourish. Utilizing the latest research on math education, Jo guides us through seven principles that can radically reframe our relationship with the subject: 
    • The power of mindset on learning 
    • Utilizing a visual approach to math 
    • The impact of physical movement and communication on understanding 
    • Understanding the value of an ""ish"" perspective - in mathematics and beyond 
    • The importance of connected and flexible knowledge 
    • New data on diverse teaching modes that work with different learning styles, not against them 
    • The value of diversity in learning mathematics—and beyond 
    When mathematics is approached more broadly, inclusively, and with a greater sense of wonder and play—when we value the different ways people see, approach, and understand it—we empower ourselves and gain a beneficial understanding of its value in our lives.
