  Nostradamus - The Prophesies of...

  Michel de Nostredame, referred to as Nostradamus in Latin, was a French astronomer, doctor, and presumed seer mostly known for his work Les Prophéties, a collection of 942 poetic quatrains supposedly predicting future events. In the year 1555, the book was first released. 
  Since the release of his Les Prophéties, Nostradamus has acquired a very large following of followers who, in addition to the majority of the well-known press, credit him with properly anticipating many essential historic events. 
  Many of scholastic sources deny that Nostradamus had any true super prophetic skills, saying that the connections he made between international events and his quatrains were the repercussion of misconceptions or mistranslations (at times purposeful). 
  These experts also point out that Nostradamus' predictions are usually uncertain, meaning they might be applied to practically anything, and for that reason are unhelpful in developing whether or not the writer has true prophetic powers. 
  In this book, let’s take a look at what he predicted and if any of it came true.

  The Gambler's Fallacy -...

  The Gambler's Fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy, is a common cognitive bias in which individuals believe that past events can influence future random outcomes. It is particularly evident in gambling scenarios, where players wrongly assume that a string of bad or good luck must be followed by a reversal. The core principle of the fallacy lies in the misinterpretation of probability. In reality, the odds of a specific event occurring remain constant, regardless of what happened in the past. This misunderstanding can lead to poor decision-making and increased risks. 
  The roots of the Gambler's Fallacy can be traced back to the early days of gambling, particularly in games of chance such as roulette. A notable historical example occurred in 1913 at the Monte Carlo casino, where the ball in a roulette wheel landed on black 26 times in a row. Spectators, believing the outcome was due for a change, began betting heavily on red. However, the fallacy is that each spin of the wheel is an independent event, and the probability of landing on red or black remains the same, regardless of previous outcomes. This phenomenon was named after the casino, where many people lost large sums due to their misguided beliefs. 
  In the context of games like roulette or coin flips, every spin or toss is independent, with no memory of past results. A fair coin, for example, has a 50% chance of landing heads or tails on each toss. However, when gamblers fall prey to the Gambler's Fallacy, they believe that if the coin lands heads several times in a row, the chances of tails increase with each successive flip. This misunderstanding can be disastrous, especially when it leads to reckless betting behavior.

  Unsettled - What Climate Science...

  In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonin’s groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change—with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. 
   
  “Greenland’s ice loss is accelerating.” 
  “Extreme temperatures are causing more fatalities.” 
  “Rapid ‘climate action’ is essential to avoid a future climate disaster.” 
   
  You’ve heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. 
   
  With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn’t say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. 
   
  When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe. 
   
  Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: 
  • Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 
  • Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions 
  • There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity 
   
  Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.
