Sinopse

Useless Studies explores the often-overlooked value of scientific research that seems pointless on the surface. It questions what truly constitutes "useful" knowledge, revealing how curiosity-driven explorations can lead to unexpected breakthroughs. For instance, seemingly irrelevant mathematical concepts paved the way for quantum mechanics. The book argues that this type of exploratory research is crucial for innovation, urging a more nuanced approach to evaluating scientific merit.

 
The book examines various categories of seemingly pointless research, including studies confirming the obvious, investigations into bizarre phenomena, and niche topics with limited apparent relevance. Each case study analyzes research methodology, scientist motivations, and unexpected outcomes. By examining the societal factors influencing research priorities and the economic incentives driving scientific inquiry, Useless Studies offers a uniquely broad perspective on the value of research.

 
The book progresses from defining "uselessness" in science to analyzing specific cases and drawing conclusions about the role of curiosity.

     Through Paisley's uplifting friendships and hard-won wisdom, The Paisley Jubilee Story delicately explores complex themes of mental illness, identity and stigma. But with humor and heart, these unforgettable personalities illuminate that hope can dawn in even the most broken of places when compassion kindles our shared humanity.

    Math-ish - Finding Creativity...

    From Stanford professor, author of Limitless Mind, youcubed.org founder, and leading expert in the field of mathematics education Jo Boaler comes a groundbreaking guide to finding joy and understanding by adopting a diverse approach to learning math. 
    “Every once in a while, someone revolutionizes an approach to a difficult subject and changes it forever. That is what Jo Boaler has done for math. Fresh, smart, and inclusive, Jo Boaler's strategy eschews the one-size-fits-a-few approach and instead allows math to be seen and solved by everyone. A huge achievement. Math-ish is the only math book I’ve ever enjoyed reading in my entire life. Honestly.” -Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry 
    Mathematics is a fundamental part of life, yet every one of us has a unique relationship with learning and understanding the subject. Working with numbers may inspire confidence in our abilities or provoke anxiety and trepidation. Stanford researcher, mathematics education professor, and the leading expert on math learning Dr. Jo Boaler argues that our differences are the key to unlocking our greatest mathematics potential. 
    In Math-ish, Boaler shares new neuroscientific research on how embracing the concept of “math-ish”—a theory of mathematics as it exists in the real world—changes the way we think about mathematics, data, and ourselves. When we can see the value of diversity among people and multi-faceted approaches to learning math, we are free to truly flourish. Utilizing the latest research on math education, Jo guides us through seven principles that can radically reframe our relationship with the subject: 
    • The power of mindset on learning 
    • Utilizing a visual approach to math 
    • The impact of physical movement and communication on understanding 
    • Understanding the value of an ""ish"" perspective - in mathematics and beyond 
    • The importance of connected and flexible knowledge 
    • New data on diverse teaching modes that work with different learning styles, not against them 
    • The value of diversity in learning mathematics—and beyond 
    When mathematics is approached more broadly, inclusively, and with a greater sense of wonder and play—when we value the different ways people see, approach, and understand it—we empower ourselves and gain a beneficial understanding of its value in our lives.

    Now a sprawling video game franchise, Resident Evil has kept us on the edge of our seats for decades with its tried-and-true brand of jump scares, zombie action, and biological horror. But even decades after its release, we can't stop revisiting the original's thrills, chills, and sometimes unintentional spills. 
     
      
     
    Pop culture writer and horror cinephile Philip J Reed takes dead aim at 1996's Resident Evil, the game that named and defined the genre we now call "survival horror." While examining Resident Evil's influences from the worlds of film, literature, and video games alike, Reed's love letter to horror examines how the game's groundbreaking design and its atmospheric fixed-cam cinematography work to thrill and terrify players—and why that terror may even be good for you. 
     
     
     
    Featuring a foreword from Troma Entertainment legend Lloyd Kaufman and new interviews with the game's voice actors and its live-action cast, the book serves as the master of unlocking the behind-the-scenes secrets of Resident Evil, and shows how even a game filled with the most laughable dialogue can still scare the pants off of you.
