Moon’s Iᴍᴘᴇʀɪᴀʟɪsᴍ ᴀɴᴅ Wᴏʀʟᴅ Pᴏʟɪᴛɪᴄs is perhaps the best-known work of the Columbia University professor and political scientist; It was published in 1926 and did not go out-of-print until at least 1940. “What convenient volume,” he asks, exists as a “general account of the greater imperialism of our own times?” A question which was suitably answered by the publication of this sweeping survey of the field. Written in what would prove to be the gathering twilight of European imperialism, and with the inclination towards reflection that only the ...

The Rebellions of 1837–1838 were two armed uprisings that took place in Lower Canada (now Quebec and Labrador) and Upper Canada (now Ontario) in 1837 and 1838. The rebellions were motivated by frustrations over lack of political reform. A key goal was responsible government, which was eventually achieved in the incidents' aftermath. "The people of Canada today are able to combine loyalty and liberty as the men of that day were not; and they should never forget that in some measure they owe to the one party (the "Bureaucrats") the continuance of Canada in the Empire, and to the other party (...

William Holden Hutton (1860-1930) was a British historian and Dean of Winchester Cathedral. In this slim volume, Hutton writes of the long period of feudal anarchy following the death of King Henry I in 1135, during which Henry's implacable daughter, Mathilda, battled the ineffectual King Stephen. Hutton then describes the turbulent reign of the great King Henry II, the reigns of Kings Richard, John, Henry III, and of the first two Edwards, rulers who whether weak or strong, rigid or resourceful, were grimly opposed by their powerful barons. - Summary by Pamela Nagami

Multi-volume work on science edited by Francis Rolt-Wheeler. The eighth volume is on Pure Mathematics written by L. Leland Locke and on Mathematical Applications written by Dr. Franz Bellinger. An introduction was written by Professor Cassius J. Keyser with a special section on the Foundation of Mathematics. The Pure Mathematics section discusses numbers - its conception and calculations, as well as different areas of mathematics - algebra, geometry, trigonometry. The last section goes into the different applications of mathematics. - Summary by Sienna

For the past several decades, mathematicians did roughly what they'd always done, they sat in rooms, filled chalkboards, and published papers, the day-to-day practice of research mathematics was stagnant from one generation to the next. That era is now ending. Since the beginning of this year, AI systems have disproved open conjectures, solved problems thought to be beyond reach, and synthesized results across fields that no single human could hold in their head. Begin Proof is a long-form conversation series with the people at the frontier of this shift, including the researchers building the...

Mathematics vs. poetry: Brainy and beautiful 17-year-old Lillie, determined to never marry, begins an Old Maids' Club, while patient young Lord Silverdale advises, observes, and writes appropriate poetry. Candidates for membership must be young, beautiful (and pledged to remain so), and have rejected at least one offer of marriage. The often humorous stories these young women share make up the bulk of the tale. (Summary by TriciaG)

Robert Sterling Yard was an American writer, journalist, and wilderness activist. Born in Haverstraw, New York, Yard graduated from Princeton University and spent the first twenty years of his career in the editing and publishing business. In 1915, he was recruited by his friend Stephen Mather to help publicize the need for an independent national park agency. Their numerous publications were part of a movement that resulted in legislative support for a National Park Service (NPS) in 1916. Yard worked to promote the national parks as well as educate Americans about their use. Creating high ...

In the aftermath of World War I, even the victors are rocked by social upheaval, as returning soldiers expect a reward for their war-time sacrifices, and women grieve for their lost husbands and sons. General strikes rock Paris, Lyon, Brussels, Glasgow, San Francisco, and even quiet Winnipeg on the Canadian prairies. The Magpie is set during the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, as Captain Craig Forrester returns home from war, to a city and a country in the throes of civil unrest. Both a social commentary and a novel about post-war disillusionment, author Douglas Durkin (1884-1967) examines ...

This work describes conditions and forces the black population of the South faced after freedom was brought by the Civil War. As Sinclair puts it at the outset of his book, ". . . the chief efforts of Southern leadership have been to curtail the freedom of the colored people, to minimize their liberty and reduce them as nearly as possible to the condition of chattel slaves." - Summary by Jim Locke

I’m Andrew Winkler, a former Stanford and Columbia math professor. We’ll explore the most interesting insights I’ve come across, ranging across the mental landscape: math, science, personality, how we think and feel, and how we love or feel unloved. We’ll give answers to all the most confusing questions everyone has, have new books and authors, and reach new understandings. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mathematik anders erzählt. Wir stellen die Menschen hinter der Mathematik in den Mittelpunkt und erzählen ihre Geschichte. Es geht um Pistolenduelle, um die Revolution und die große Liebe, um einen Leserbrief-Shitstorm und Plagiate unter Freunden. Es gibt also jede Menge Drama! Dazu erklären wir in jeder Folge eine große Idee der Mathematik – so, dass sie jeder versteht. Das alles hört ihr jeden zweiten Mittwoch in “Geschichten aus der Mathematik” – ein detektor.fm-Podcast in Kooperation mit Spektrum der Wissenschaft.

Welcome to "On A Tangent", where we tell the stories behind the mathematics. In each episode, we meet a different early career mathematician from Mathematics Münster, and learn about their research, their path towards mathematics, and their hopes for the future. We explore the many different shapes that mathematical research can take, the early memories that led people towards the subject, and try to understand a little bit better the voices that make the mathematical community of today. Hosted by Simone Ramello, produced by the science communication team of Mathematics Münster Music by ...

Al liceo Pietro Minto odiava la matematica. O meglio: si sentiva odiato, perseguitato, escluso da quei simboli e quelle formule simili a rune misteriose. Come molti, ammettiamolo. E come molti, uscito dalla maturità con il proverbiale calcio nel sedere, è ben deciso a lasciarsi tutto alle spalle: numeri, problemi, conti che non tornano mai. Ma l'incontro mancato con la matematica rimane dentro di lui come una ferita non rimarginata, un tarlo che scava la sua via per uscire: ormai adulto decide allora di lanciarsi in un'impresa che ha qualcosa di folle, ma proprio per questo anche di esaltante.
