Synopsis

"Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" is a satirical novella set in a two-dimensional world inhabited by geometric figures. Abbott employs a distinctive literary style that melds social commentary with mathematical concepts, reflecting the Victorian context that influenced his work. Through the protagonist, A Square, Abbott explores themes of hierarchy, class distinctions, and the limitations of perspective, urging readers to question their preconceived notions about dimensions and reality. His clever narrative reveals the absurdities of a society bound by rigid social structures, ultimately challenging the reader to envision broader dimensions beyond their own understanding. Edwin Abbott Abbott (1838-1926) was an English schoolmaster, theologian, and writer, whose diverse intellectual pursuits shaped his literary endeavors. As a man deeply interested in education and social reform, Abbott aimed to illuminate the constricting nature of societal norms and prejudices. His awareness of educational inequalities and his passion for mathematics directly informed the construction of Flatland, creating a bridge between the realms of geometry and human experience, effectively illustrating the limitations of human perception. I highly recommend "Flatland" to readers and scholars alike, as it remains a pivotal work that stimulates critical thinking about the nature of reality and perception. Its unique blend of humor, philosophical inquiry, and mathematical rigor makes it a must-read for those intrigued by the interplay between science and society, as well as those seeking a profound yet accessible exploration of dimensionality.

    He had science and an Ivy League pedigree―why did he need God? Immersed in his physics studies at Cornell, Tom Rudelius never thought much about God until his brother, a new convert to Christianity, challenged him to explore faith. To placate his twin, he reluctantly began exploring the Bible and the life of Jesus. Seeking proof of God’s existence, he found himself in a world of uncertainty, faced with plenty of reasons for both faith and doubt.In Chasing Proof, Finding Faith, Tom, now a rising young theoretical physicist, traces his journey to unexpected faith, through subsequent doubt and anxiety, and ultimately to a firmer, life-transforming allegiance to Jesus. Along the way, he explores some of the issues he wrestled with, includingCreation and cosmic originsThe problem of evil and sufferingThe compatibility of miracles with science and the plausibility of Jesus’ resurrectionThe reliability of the BibleWhile Tom never found absolute proof of God or Christianity, he ultimately concluded that the existing evidence for both is compelling and compatible with science. His searingly honest story is a potent guide for those doubting or exploring faith.

    For most of human history, the night sky was a mystery filled with countless stars twinkling in the darkness. Ancient civilizations saw patterns in the stars and used them to guide their calendars, stories, and navigation. Yet, behind those points of light lay something even more vast and perplexing—the dark space between them. It wasn't until the development of modern astronomy that scientists began to seriously consider what might exist in the dark regions of the universe. At first, darkness was assumed to be simply empty space, a void where no stars or planets resided. But as our tools improved and our questions deepened, we started to understand that darkness in the cosmos holds far more meaning than we originally thought. 
    The idea that the universe might be filled with something unseen first gained traction in the early 20th century. Astronomers like Fritz Zwicky noticed strange behaviors in galaxy clusters. When calculating the mass of these clusters based on the visible matter, the numbers didn’t add up. Galaxies were moving too fast to be held together by gravity from the matter we could see. Zwicky proposed the existence of "dunkle Materie" or dark matter—something invisible but exerting gravitational pull. This was one of the first scientific suggestions that dark space might not be empty at all, but rather filled with mysterious forces and substances. 
    At the same time, other areas of study began to reveal more about what darkness might mean in a cosmological context. Observations of cosmic microwave background radiation showed that the universe had a very specific structure after the Big Bang, influenced by matter both visible and invisible. These early echoes from the origin of the universe suggested a cosmic framework shaped in part by things we couldn't directly detect. The darkness, once thought to be empty, was influencing the evolution of everything we could see.

    Doctor Bernard Patten―erstwhile Memory Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, founder of the first memory clinic at the Neurological Institute of New York, and author of scientific papers on memory therapy and memory problems―wants to help you to a better mind, a better memory, and, consequently, a better life. 
    Memory degradation happens to everyone. Even people in good health forget where they park their cars or leave their reading glasses. Some draw a blank entering their PIN. Is the stove off? Cat fed? Door locked? Did you take your medication? Not sure? How come? These memory problems only get worse as we get older unless we employ mental exercises to improve memory now. 
    Mountains of scientific research prove that mental exercise benefits the brain as much as physical exercise benefits the body. Mental gymnastics boosts brainpower, augments memory, and (in some cases) actually increases brain size. It can help prevent dementia, mental decline, and the much-feared Alzheimer's disease. 
    Making Mental Might does not aim to increase your IQ or show you how to get smarter. It offers the proper mental training to look, sound, and perform worlds better. These techniques have helped hundreds of students at Rice University's School of Continuing Studies under Doctor Patten improve their working memory. They can do the same for you.
