Sinopse

Arab Mathematicians explores the significant contributions of Middle Eastern scholars to mathematics and science during the 8th to 15th centuries. It highlights how these thinkers preserved, translated, and expanded upon the knowledge of ancient Greece and India, acting as a vital link to the European Renaissance. The book emphasizes the development of algebra, geometry, and astronomy during the Islamic Golden Age, revealing how these advancements shaped the world we know today. For instance, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi's work not only gave us the term "algorithm" but also laid the foundation for solving quadratic equations, which remain crucial in modern mathematics.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical backdrop, examining the factors that fostered intellectual growth in the Abbasid Caliphate. It then delves into specific fields like algebra, geometry (particularly the study of conic sections), and astronomy, showcasing the meticulous observations and theoretical models developed by scholars like Ibn al-Haytham. A key aspect is its focus on the collaborative, multicultural environment of scientific inquiry, challenging Eurocentric views and showcasing how these advancements were deeply intertwined with practical applications in optics, cartography, and architecture.

The Peregrine

J. A. Baker, Mark Cocker, Robert...

David Attenborough reads J. A. Baker’s extraordinary classic of British nature writing. 
The nation’s greatest voice, David Attenborough, reads J. A. Baker’s extraordinary classic of British nature writing, The Peregrine. 
J. A. Baker’s classic of British nature writing was first published in 1967. Greeted with acclaim, it went on to win the Duff Cooper Prize, the pre-eminent literary prize of the time. Luminaries such as Ted Hughes, Barry Lopez and Andrew Motion have cited it as one of the most important books in twentieth-century nature writing. 
Despite the association of peregrines with the wild, outer reaches of the British Isles, The Peregrine is set on the flat marshes of the Essex coast, where J. A. Baker spent long winters looking and writing about the visitors from the uplands – peregrines that spend the winter hunting the huge flocks of pigeons and waders that share the desolate landscape with them. 
J. A. Baker's The Peregrine is a testament to the beauty of nature, a special observation of the animal kingdom from the perspective of birds. It's a top choice for those interested in ecotourism and birdwatching, offering a comparative study of different species in their natural habitat. 
For fans of Barry Holstun Lopez (EMBRACE FEARLESSLY THE BURNING WORLD), Robert Macfarlane (Is a River Alive?), Werner Herzog (Of Walking In Ice), Roger Deakin (Waterlog), and Annie Ernaux (The Years).

Masters of Space

Walter Kellogg Towers

This is the story of talking at a distance, of sending messages through space. It is the story of great men—Morse, Thomson, Bell, Marconi, and others—and how, with the aid of men like Field, Vail, Catty, Pupin, the scientist, and others in both the technical and commercial fields, they succeeded in flashing both messages and speech around the world, with wires and without wires. It is the story of how the thought of the world has been linked together by those modern wonders of science and of industry—the telegraph, the submarine cable, the telephone, the wireless telegraph, and, most recently, the wireless telephone. (From Preface) - Summary by Walter Kellogg Towers
