Sinopse

Pointless Studies explores the fascinating world of scientific inquiry, focusing on research that seems trivial but often leads to unexpected breakthroughs. This book champions curiosity-driven research, highlighting how seemingly pointless investigations can unlock fundamental insights across various scientific disciplines.

 
For example, studies on why pigeons bob their heads have revealed principles applicable to robotics and visual perception, demonstrating that even the most esoteric topics can yield practical applications.

 
The book argues that judging research solely on immediate applicability is flawed, as many landmark discoveries stemmed from initially undervalued studies. By examining case studies from animal behavior to human physiology, Pointless Studies reveals the surprising consequences of scientific exploration.

 
The book begins by outlining core principles of scientific inquiry, then progresses through examples and concludes by advocating for a re-evaluation of how we assess the value of scientific research. This approach encourages readers to embrace intellectual curiosity and support scientific endeavors that may not have immediate practical benefits.

Olympic Titanic Britannic - The...

Simon Mills

The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. 
 
 
 
The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy. 
 
 
 
This unique book tells the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships from the bottom up, starting with their conception and construction (and later their modification) and following their very different careers. Behind the technical details of these magnificent ships lies a tragic human story—not just of the lives lost aboard the Titanic and Britannic, but of the designers pushing the limits beyond what was actually possible, engineers unable to prepare for every twist of fate, and ship owners and crew who truly believed a ship could be unsinkable.

Mathematical Biology - A Very...

Philip K. Maini

Why are English Premier League football shirt patterns very similar to animal coat markings? And what do invasive species have in common with cancer cells in the body? Mathematical biology develops models which answer these questions, as they are applied to processes from the spread of a gene in a population, to predator-prey dynamics in an ecosystem, to the growth of tumors.In this Very Short Introduction Philip K. Maini describes the art of modeling, what it is, why we do it, and illustrates how the abstract way of thinking that is the essence of mathematics enables us to transfer knowledge from one area of research to another. Using numerous examples, he explains how the same fundamental ideas have been used in different fields, and shows how mathematics is the language of science. The author also points to cases in science where the traditional scientific modelling approach—verbal reasoning—is incorrect and shows how mathematics can uncover, and correct, such flawed reasoning while, at the same time, enhance our intuition. This book provides a guide to the trajectory of mathematical biology from a niche subject in the 1970s to a well-established, popular subject that is truly inter-disciplinary, and points to exciting future challenges.
