Sinopsis

The bestselling author of The Science of Happiness delivers a book “suffused with genuine wonder and affection for the beauty of particle physics” (Foreword Reviews). 
 
A single rose suggests the sublime interdependence of all life. A sudden storm points to the world’s unpredictability. A marble conjures the birth of the cosmos. 
 
How to Love the Universe shows us how everyday objects and events can reveal some of the deepest mysteries in all of science. In ten eye-opening chapters of lyrical prose, Stefan Klein contemplates time, space, dark matter, and more, encouraging us to fall in love with the universe the same way scientists do: The more we know about twenty-first-century physics, the more enchanting our world becomes. You won’t look at a rose the same way again. 
 
“Cosmic inflation and warped space, the measurement of time, and the search for dark energy are all examined in thoughtful, accessible language that brings ideas to vivid life. Klein’s latest work encourages readers to think, consider, and give in to scientific fascination.” —Publishers Weekly 
 
“In this finely written book, Stefan Klein brings a poetic and distinctive perspective to some fascinating fundamental questions.” —Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal 
 
“Klein sets forth to share the poetry of the universe and succeeds, offering a grounding in the science and beauty that comprises the world around us. The text is easily attainable to casual readers and scientists alike, and will help both to understand the universe better.” —Library Journal

    My Lobotomy - A Memoir

    A gut-wrenching memoir by a man who was lobotomized at the age of twelve. 
    Assisted by journalist/novelist Charles Fleming, Howard Dully recounts a family tragedy whose Sophoclean proportions he could only sketch in his powerful 2005 broadcast on NPR's All Things Considered. 
    "In 1960," he writes, "I was given a transorbital, or 'ice pick' lobotomy. My stepmother arranged it. My father agreed to it. Dr. Walter Freeman, the father of the American lobotomy, told me he was going to do some 'tests.' It took ten minutes and cost two hundred dollars." Fellow doctors called Freeman's technique barbaric: an ice pick-like instrument was inserted about three inches into each eye socket and twirled to sever connections from the frontal lobe to the rest of the brain. The procedure was intended to help curb a variety of psychoses by muting emotional responses, but sometimes it irreversibly reduced patients to a childlike state or (in 15 percent of the operations Freeman performed) killed them outright. Dully's ten-minute "test" did neither, but in some ways it had a far crueler result, since it didn't end the unruly behavior that had set his stepmother against him to begin with. 
    "I spent the next forty years in and out of insane asylums, jails, and halfway houses," he tells us. "I was homeless, alcoholic, and drug-addicted. I was lost." From all accounts, there was no excuse for the lobotomy. Dully had never been "crazy," and his (not very) bad behavior sounds like the typical acting-up of a child in desperate need of affection. His stepmother responded with unrelenting abuse and neglect, and his father allowed her to demonize his son and never admitted his complicity in the lobotomy; Freeman capitalized on their monumental dysfunction. It's a tale of epic horror, and while Dully's courage in telling it inspires awe, listeners are left to speculate about what drove supposedly responsible adults to such unconscionable acts.

    About Getting to Yes by Roger Fisher and William Ury 
     If you plan to ask for a raise, negotiate for more flexibility at work, put together a business deal, or find a solution to an ongoing source of conflict with your spouse in the future, Getting to Yes is a book you should read. Getting to Yes gives you a start-to-finish system for “principled negotiation” Principled negotiation is a methodology where parties work together to address their mutual interests with creative, fair solutions. According to the book’s authors, Roger Fisher and William Ury, principled negotiation is the complete opposite of our conventional image of negotiation: two parties stubbornly engaged in a battle of will, each laser-focused on his or her own interests at the expense of the other’s interests.  
    Getting to Yes provides a framework to allow you to achieve a good outcome for both sides, beginning with teaching you how to determine whether to negotiate at all and what you should consider a positive outcome. By listening carefully to each other, treating each other with fairness, and exploring options together, negotiators can get to yes in ways that reduce the need to rely on hard-bargaining and needless concessions.

    History of Chemistry Volume II...

    Sir Thomas Edward Thorpe

    A history of the advances in chemistry, in the fields of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry from the mid-nineteenth century through the early 1900s.  Included are brief biographical sketches of some early pioneers in the field such as Mendeleev, Liebeg, Williamson, Dewar and others.  Chapters covering the discovery of new elements, the developing understanding of structure, properties and reactivity, the beginnings of practical organic synthesis and the early work on stereoisomerism show how the way was paved for the discoveries that followed in the 20th century.   Thorpe's observation in Chapter 10 that “Organic chemistry has been largely developed by the discovery from time to time of special reagents and special types of reactions which have shown themselves to be capable of extensive application” continues to be true to this day.   (Summary by J. M. Smallheer)
