The periodic table is a crowning scientific achievement, but it's also a treasure trove of adventure, betrayal, and obsession. These fascinating tales follow every element on the table as they play out their parts in human history, and in the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them.
Why are people successful? For centuries, humankind has grappled with this question, searching for the secret to accomplishing great things.In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an invigorating intellectual journey to show us what makes an extreme overachiever.He reveals that we pay far too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where successful people are from: their culture, their family, and their generation.Gladwell examines how the careers of Bill Gates and the performance of world-class football players are alike; what top fighter pilots and The Beatles have in common; why so many top lawyers are Jewish; why Asians are good at maths; and why it is correct to say that the mathematician who solved Fermat's Theorem is not a genius.
Sacrées "Boudins de l'année" sur Facebook, Mireille, Astrid et Hakima sont décidées à ne pas se lamenter tout l'été. En selle ! Direction Paris, et la garden-party de l'Elysée où elles ont chacune une excellente raison de se rendre. Tandis que les "boudinettes" pédalent, les réseaux s'emballent..."Les petites reines c'est le voyage initiatique de quatre personnages qui ont toutes les raisons de se plaindre, mais qui décident, à la place, d'en rire, et de partir pédaler sur 500 km. Et comme tout road-trip, ça raconte, au-delà de leurs problèmes personnels, une société, son histoire, sa culture" (Clémentine Beauvais).
In his landmark bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant-in the blink of an eye-that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work-in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of "blink": the election of Warren Harding; "New Coke"; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing"-filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.
Over seventy-two years ago, beginning on the Vernal Equinox in Glastonbury, Dion Fortune started receiving communications from the Inner Planes concerning the creation of the universe, the evolution of humanity, natural law, the evolution of consciousness, and the nature of the mind. Her written record of this experience forms the basis for The Cosmic Doctrine.Fortune examines the limbo where Science and Magic interact, where the cosmology of the "Big Bang" and chaos theory run parallel to the evolutionary process. She also illustrates the true nature of Good and Evil, which is generally viewed from an individual's own highly subjective and very personal perspective, and provides further insights into the interaction of the positive and negative polarity within the universal scheme of things. A cryptic warning accompanies these clearly outlined concepts: this book is designed to train the mind rather than inform it. In other words, it is intended to induce in the reader a particular attitude to both the inner and outer world.Unpublished until 1949, and then only in a privately printed edition, Fortune and her followers considered the material too dangerous for general release. This revised and definitive edition includes original material left out of previous editions and illuminating diagrams by one of Fortune's closest collaborators.
Rank s development of will psychology led him to a philosophy of the psychological, outlined in Truth and Reality. Here he explores the psychological determinants of the relationship of inner world to outer reality."

This book offers an up-to-date introductory treatment of computational techniques applied to problems in finance, placing issues such as numerical stability, convergence and error analysis in both deterministic and stochastic settings at its core. The first part provides a welcoming but nonetheless rigorous introduction to the fundamental theory of option pricing, including European, American, and exotic options along with their hedge parameters, and combines a clear treatment of the mathematical framework with practical worked examples in Python. The second part explores the main computational methods for valuing options within the Black-Scholes framework: lattice, Monte Carlo, and finite difference methods. The third and final part covers advanced topics for the simulation of financial processes beyond the standard Black-Scholes setting. Techniques for the analysis and simulation of multidimensional financial data, including copulas, are covered and will be of interest to those studying machine learning for finance. There is also an in-depth treatment of exact and approximate sampling methods for stochastic differential equation models of interest rates and volatilities. Written for advanced undergraduate and masters-level courses, the book assumes some exposure to core mathematical topics such as linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, multivariate calculus, probability, and statistics at an undergraduate level. While familiarity with Python is not required, readers should be comfortable with basic programming constructs such as variables, loops, and conditional statements. Autorid: Cónall Kelly

"Late '70s San Francisco. The Summer of Love is a hazy memory, the AIDS crisis is looming, and nearby Silicon Valley is still an obscure place where microchips are made. The City by the Bay is reeling from a string of bizarre tragedies that have earned it a new name: the "kook capital of the world." Yet out of the darkness comes a creative rebirth, instigated by punk and sustained by the steady influx of outsiders who view the city as a place of refuge, a last resort. What ensues is a collision of soundsand ideas that spans the golden age of analog DIY culture, from the dark cabaret of Tuxedomoon and Factrix, the apocalyptic sounds of Minimal Man and Flipper, the conceptual humor of Gregg Turkington's Amarillo Records; through to the subversive pop music of Faith No More, the left-field experimentalism of Caroliner, Mr. Bungle, and Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, and much more. Drawing on extensive research--including interviews with over 100 musicians, artists, and other key players--WHO CARES ANYWAYis the first book to chronicle the wild post-punk San Francisco music scene, courtesy of those who lived it. It's a tale full of existential drama, tragic anti-heroes, dark humor, spectacular failures--and even a few improbable successes"-- Autorid: Will York
Milton, Chalkwell and the Crowstone is a reprint of a book by Marion Pearce. Originally published over 20 years ago, by the same author, this new edition has been completely revised with new chapters, additional text and a range of brand-new illustrations. Over the years, the hamlet of Milton (or Middletun) has been lost in the mists of time. Yet traces of the 'middle town' can still be found between Leigh-on-Sea and Southchurch. The name Milton still survives in road names in Southend and the electoral ward of the same name. Chalkwell centres around Chalkwell Hall and its park. The present Chalkwell Hall, is the third house on the site. Until the coming of the railways nearly all of Chalkwell was farmland. When the railways were built in the 1850s an empowering act required two level crossings to be built along with a special siding to accommodate the farming community. Perhaps even stranger is the name Chalkwell, as there is no chalk in the soil. It is suggested that there may have been a well on the site, now long gone, that was lined with chalk. The Crowstone has always sparked much interest. The stone that stands at the bottom of Chalkwell Avenue was sited there in 1838. It stood together with another shorter stone erected in 1755. This shorter stone in turn replaced a series of markers that denoted the eastern boundary of the City of London's jurisdiction on the Essex side of the River Thames. For over 100 years the two stones stood side by side until in 1950 the shorter stone was moved and it now stands in Priory Park opposite the museum. A great little book packed with a wealth of fascinating information. Autorid: Marion Pearce

The end of their world begins with a story. This one. § In most fairy tales, princesses are beautiful, dragons are terrifying, and stories are harmless. This isn't most fairy tales. § Princess Violet is plain, reckless, and quite possibly too clever for her own good. Particularly when it comes to telling stories. One day she and her best friend, Demetrius, stumble upon a hidden room and find a peculiar book. A forbidden book . It tells a story of an evil being--called the Nybbas--imprisoned in their world. The story cannot be true-- not really. But then the whispers start. Violet and Demetrius, along with an ancient, scarred dragon, may hold the key to the Nybbas's triumph...or its demise. It all depends on how they tell the story. After all, stories make their own rules. § Iron Hearted Violet is a story of a princess unlike any other. It is a story of the last dragon in existence, deathly afraid of its own reflection. Above all, it is a story about the power of stories, our belief in them, and how one enchanted tale changed the course of an entire kingdom.

Achevés pour l’essentiel en 1841, les Mémoires d’outre-tombe entrecroisent superbement le récit d’une existence qui va bientôt finir – celle du jeune chevalier breton d’Ancien Régime, devenu voyageur, diplomate et ministre –, et le récit de l’Histoire marquée par le séisme de la Révolution qui éloigna le monde ancien pour toujours.« Cette voix, dira Julien Gracq, cette voix, qui clame à travers les deux mille pages des Mémoires que le Grand Pan est mort, et dont l’Empire romain finissant n’a pas connu le timbre unique – l’écho ample de palais vide et de planète démeublée –, c’est celle des grandes mises au tombeau de l’Histoire. »Timbre unique que cette anthologie entend préserver au plus près, en demeurant fidèle à la structure même des Mémoires, à la diversité de leurs registres, à la variation de leurs écritures et à l’orchestration de leurs époques : « Mon berceau a de ma tombe, ma tombe a de mon berceau : mes souffrances deviennent des plaisirs, mes plaisirs des douleurs, et je ne sais plus, en achevant de lire ces Mémoires, s’ils sont d’une tête brune ou chenue. »Anthologie établie, présentée et annotée par Jean-Claude Berchet.
