  Geometry - A Very Short...

  The study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field that the concept of mathematical proof—deductive reasoning from a set of axioms—first arose. To this day geometry remains a very active area of research in mathematics. 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction covers the areas of mathematics falling under geometry, starting with topics such as Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, and ranging to curved spaces, projective geometry in Renaissance art, and geometry of space-time inside a black hole. Starting from the basics, Maciej Dunajski proceeds from concrete examples (of mathematical objects like Platonic solids, or theorems like the Pythagorean theorem) to general principles. Throughout, he outlines the role geometry plays in the broader context of science and art.

  ""A profound meditation on the human need for connection with nature, as one man seeks solace beneath the bows of an ancient oak tree.""—Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees 
  ""James Canton knows so much, writes so well and understands so deeply about the true forest magic and the important place these trees have in it. Knowledge and joy.""— Sara Maitland, author of How to Be Alone 
  Joining the ranks of The Hidden Life of Trees and H is for Hawk, an evocative memoir and ode to one of the most majestic living things on earth—the oak tree—probing the mysteries of nature and the healing role it plays in our lives. 
  Thrown into turmoil by the end of his long-term relationship, Professor James Canton spent two years meditating beneath the welcoming shelter of the massive 800-year-old Honywood Oak tree in North Essex, England. While considering the direction of his own life, he began to contemplate the existence of this colossus tree. Standing in England for centuries, the oak would have been a sapling when the Magna Carta was signed in 1215. 
  In this beautiful, transportive book, Canton tells the story of this tree in its ecological, spiritual, literary, and historical contexts, using it as a prism to see his own life and human history. The Oak Papers is a reflection on change and transformation, and the role nature has played in sustaining and redeeming us.  
  Canton examines our long-standing dependency on the oak, and how that has developed and morphed into myth and legend. We no longer need these sturdy trees to build our houses and boats, to fuel our fires, or to grind their acorns into flour in times of famine. What purpose, then, do they serve in our world today? Are these miracles of nature no longer necessary to our lives? What can they offer us?  
  Taking inspiration from the literary world—Henry David Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy, Katherine Basford’s Green Man, Thomas Hardy, William Shakespeare, and others—Canton ponders the wondrous magic of nature and the threats its faces, from human development to climate change, implores us to act as responsible stewards to conserve what is precious, and reminds us of the lessons we can learn from the world around us, if only we slow down enough to listen.

  Pregnancy Interrupted - The...

  A compassionate, evidence-based look at pregnancy loss—how and why it happens, and why the assurances of the medical industry don't reflect the realityOne of the most prevalent myths about human pregnancy is that of all possible outcomes, a baby is the most likely. Pregnancy Interrupted challenges the misleadingly linear narrative that begins with two lines on a pregnancy test and ends with a newborn. Drawing on Kate Clancy's own deeply personal stories of pregnancy loss and moving interviews with others, it reveals how the frequency of loss and miscarriage is far more common than most realize. This provocative book makes an impassioned, fact-based case for truthfulness and care at a time when inaccurate images of fetuses abound, electronic impulses continue to pass for a heartbeat, and reproductive autonomy is criminalized.Presenting the unvarnished science of pregnancy loss, Clancy validates the experiences of women and gender minorities, offers solace for the person on her third miscarriage, and gives guidance for lawmakers and advocates seeking change. While genetic errors make some losses inevitable, this is not the whole story. Clancy describes how other factors increase the risk—from the choices we sometimes make to environmental and social conditions that go overlooked or ignored. She exposes the links between miscarriage and stressors like physical and emotional violence and explores how we might prevent miscarriages and stillbirths while mitigating the trauma when they do occur.Pregnancy Interrupted provides an eye-opening account of pregnancy and loss as an unpredictable yet universal experience.
