Beschreibung

In "Farthest North," Fridtjof Nansen chronicles his groundbreaking Arctic expedition of 1893-1896, where he navigated uncharted territories in the quest for knowledge and adventure. Written in a vivid, evocative style, Nansen'Äôs narrative blends meticulous scientific observation with rich, poetic descriptions of the harsh yet awe-inspiring landscapes. The work stands as both a travelogue and a scientific treatise, capturing the challenges faced by his team amidst an unforgiving climate, while also reflecting the broader context of late 19th-century exploration, a period marked by both nationalism and a burgeoning interest in natural sciences. Nansen, a Norwegian explorer and scientist, was driven by a profound curiosity about the natural world and a desire to push the boundaries of human understanding. His background in biology and his experiences as a polar explorer shaped his approach to documenting the expedition. Nansen's work not only sought to advance geographical and scientific knowledge but also to instill a sense of wonder and appreciation for the Arctic'Äôs allure, showcasing his dual dedication to both science and narrative. "Farthest North" is an essential read for anyone intrigued by exploration, scientific inquiry, or the Arctic'Äôs rich history. Nansen's insights and experiences invite readers to contemplate the spirit of adventure and the relentless pursuit of knowledge, making this monumental work a timeless addition to the canon of exploration literature.

    Infinity and our Unbounded...

    The concept of Infinity has been around since the ancients and it has many practical applications in mathematics like Calculus. 
    Infinity is also important in Fractals which are a graphical algorithm which is used in many computer graphics applications today and which has infinite depth. 
    It is also applicable to our Universe since the standard concept we are taught about the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe may be wrong. 
    Modern evidence is showing us contradictions which say that we live in a Universe which is steady state and might even be infinite in size. The Universe doesn’t have a creation date we can be sure of. 
    We don’t really know if it is infinite in size but the Universe is certainly much larger and older than our best scientific instruments can measure. 
    This book is an exploration of Infinity and new understandings of our Universe which have come to light in recent decades.

    Ain't No Place for a Hero:...

    A deep dive into the groundbreaking and bestselling video game series The critically acclaimed first-person shooter franchise Borderlands knows it’s ridiculous. It’s a badge of pride. After all, Borderlands 2 was promoted with the tagline “87 bazillion guns just got bazillionder.” These space-western games encourage you to shoot a lot of enemies and monsters, loot their corpses, and have a few chuckles while chasing down those bazillion guns.  
     
    As Kaitlin Tremblay explores in Ain’t No Place for a Hero, the Borderlands video game series satirizes its own genre, exposing and addressing the ways first-person shooter video games have tended to exclude women, queer people, and people of colour, as well as contribute to a hostile playing environment. Tremblay also digs in to the way the Borderlands game franchise ― which has sold more than 26 million copies ― disrupts traditional notions of heroism, creating nuanced and compelling storytelling that highlights the strengths and possibilities of this relatively new narrative medium.  
     
    The latest entry in the acclaimed Pop Classics series, Ain’t No Place for a Hero is a fascinating read for Borderlands devotees as well as the uninitiated.
