  In April 1938, Swift River Valley residents held a farewell ball to mark the demise of the quintessential New England town of Enfield and its three smaller neighbors, Greenwich, Dana, and Prescott. 
   
   
   
  The Commonwealth of Massachusetts sacrificed these three towns to build the Quabbin, a massive reservoir of drinking water for residents of Boston. Three prominent residents attended the somber occasion. Marion Andrews Smith was the last surviving member of an important manufacturing family. Willard "Doc" Segur was the valley's beloved country doctor and town leader. And Edwin Henry Howe was Enfield's postmaster and general store proprietor. They helped build their beloved community for decades, only to watch grief-stricken as it was destroyed by 400 billion gallons of water. 
   
   
   
  Author and historian Elena Palladino recounts the story of these communities as seen through eyes of those who lived there until the end.

  Space to Grow - Unlocking the...

  Space is a place of unparalleled possibility for humanity, and it's undergoing a revolution. A wave of companies led by gutsy entrepreneurs are unlocking opportunities that fire the imagination. No, it's not hotels on Mars or day trips to orbit (yet), but it's an awe-inspiring transformation driven by innovative technologies, creative approaches, hard work, and—for the first time—market forces. Above all, this revolution is uncovering the simple but unfamiliar truth that space is a place: a place where countries, markets, and each of us can play a vital role in realizing some of our biggest, boldest dreams. 
   
   
   
  But we won't succeed through dreams alone. The space economy is just that—an economy—governed by the same laws of supply and demand that apply here on Earth. The authors, who teach a highly popular course on the topic at Harvard Business School, bring the revolution in space to life through players you know—like SpaceX and Blue Origin—and many you may not, like Astroscale, founded by a Japanese IT executive who quit his job to start a company to clean up space debris. They also bring to bear fundamental tools from economics to understand how the market in space is forming, how it's fast becoming a source of value for businesses across industries and for society as a whole, and how we can best ensure that its growth benefits us all.

  Graeme Parker, known to millions as THE HOOF GP, has captivated hearts across the world with his unscripted videos, set against the stunning landscape of Southwest Scotland. His humble, down-to-earth charm and the raw authenticity of his work with cattle have earned him billions of views and a devoted global following. But Graeme’s route to success wasn’t marked by good fortune from the outset. 
  Beneath the surface of viral fame lies a story far more complex than anyone could imagine. His recognisable smile masks a man shaped by deep personal loss, twenty-five years of undiagnosed mental health struggles, and haunting family secrets – including the unsolved mystery of his father’s death. 
  In Bruised Sole, Graeme opens up like never before, revealing the vulnerable, human side of his life. It’s a story of survival, resilience, and the search for peace, filled with unexpected twists and moments of profound reflection. This isn’t just about the man you see online – it’s about the hidden battles we all fight and the truths we often keep buried. 
  The Hoof GP’s story cuts as deep as it gets.

  Computational Methods for...

  Computational physics is a crucial branch of modern physics that utilizes numerical techniques and algorithms to solve complex physical problems. With the increasing complexity of theoretical models and the limitations of analytical solutions, computational methods have become an indispensable tool for physicists. From simulating quantum systems to modeling astrophysical phenomena, computation allows researchers to explore scenarios that are otherwise impractical or impossible to study experimentally. 
  One of the primary motivations for using computational techniques in physics is the ability to handle problems involving nonlinear equations, chaotic systems, or large datasets. Many physical equations, such as the Navier-Stokes equations in fluid dynamics or Schrödinger’s equation in quantum mechanics, lack closed-form analytical solutions. In such cases, numerical methods provide approximate but highly accurate solutions. Computational techniques also play a crucial role in experimental physics, where data analysis and simulations help interpret results and refine theoretical models. 
  Historically, computational physics emerged as a distinct discipline in the mid-20th century, with the advent of digital computers. Early physicists used numerical methods for simple problems, such as solving ordinary differential equations, but as computing power increased, so did the scope of applications. Today, computational physics is integrated with other scientific disciplines, including materials science, climate modeling, and biophysics, demonstrating its wide-ranging impact.

  The Biggest Number in the World...

  From cells in our bodies to measuring the universe, big numbers are everywhere 
   
  We all know that numbers go on forever, that you could spend your life counting and never reach the end of the line, so there can’t be such a thing as a ‘biggest number’. Or can there? 
   
  To find out, David Darling and Agnijo Banerjee embark on an epic quest, revealing the answers to questions like: are there more grains of sand on Earth or stars in the universe? Is there enough paper on Earth to write out the digits of a googolplex? And what is a googolplex? 
   
  Then things get serious. 
   
  Enter the strange realm between the finite and the infinite, and float through a universe where the rules we cling to no longer apply. Encounter the highest number computable, infinite kinds of infinity and ask whether one infinity can be greater than another. At every turn, a cast of wild and wonderful characters threatens the status quo with their ideas, and each time the numbers get larger.
