Persi Diaconis and Ron Graham provide easy, step-by-step instructionsfor each trick, explaining how to set up the effect and offering tips on what to say and do while performing it. Each card trick introduces a new mathematical idea, and varying the tricks in turn takes readers to the very threshold of today's mathematical knowledge. For example, the Gilbreath principle--a fantastic effect where the cards remain in control despite being shuffled--is found to share an intimate connection with the Mandelbrot set. Other card tricks link to the mathematical secrets of combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, topology, the Riemann hypothesis, and even Fermat's last theorem. Diaconis and Graham are mathematicians as well as skilled performers with decades of professional experience between them. In this book they share a wealth of conjuring lore, including some closely guarded secrets of legendary magicians. Magical Mathematics covers the mathematics of juggling and shows how the I Ching connects to the history of probability and magic tricks both old and new.

A history of the city of Seoul through the lens of architecture and urban life.Seoul Urban Architecture is a powerful and original study of Seouls urban and architectural evolution, told through the lens of an architect and educator who has lived and worked in the city for over four decades. In his book, which is part memoir, part cultural history, and part urban analysis, Sung Hong Kim traces how South Koreas capitalonce a walled city shaped by Confucian idealshas become a sprawling, vertical metropolis marked by rapid modernization, deep structural contradictions, and a fierce, creative resilience. Organized into four parts, Kim surveys Seouls urban landscape from the late fourteenth century to the aftermath of the Korean War, illuminating the layers of occupation, destruction, and imposed planning that have shaped the citys foundation. He guides the reader through periods of urban, legal, technological, and cultural constraints that eventually gave birth to new vitality, creativity, and innovation from an emerging generation of architects. His reflections on displacement, constraint, and ingenuity speak to a broader global condition faced by architects and urban designers alike: how to find meaning and agency within environments shaped by forces beyond their control. At once personal and panoramic, Seoul Urban Architecture offers a vital perspective on this city of paradoxes, where fragments of history coexist with radical new forms, and where the uneven fabric of urban life reveals the story of a nation that has risen, in several bursts, from the ruins of war and colonization to become a cultural and economic powerhouse.

This handbook reflects and represents the established and expanding knowledge base in the field of educational change as embodied in publishing outlets like Springer’s Journal of Educational Change, the AERA Educational Change Special Interest Group, The AERA Teacher and Teacher Education Division, the British Educational Leadership and Management Association, and the International Congress of School Effectiveness and Improvement. The work captures the changing and more inclusive and critical nature of the field. This involves responding to calls for traditionally marginalised and minoritized groups, regions and issues to be centred and uplifted in the field and in practice. The Handbook includes classic, contemporary, and cutting-edge contributions to the field of educational change. It offers rigorous scholarly work written in a style that is accessible to researchers, academics, educational leaders, and policymakers who are drawn to evidence-based and theoretically informed approaches. Contents are inclusive in authorship and focus, representative of different fields such as leadership, policy, curriculum, pedagogy, equity, and diversity, inclusive of diverse and sometimes competing perspectives, and attentive to international range and scope of contribution. This is a time when there is turnover of generations in the field of educational change, with many of the founders now having passed away or holding senior Emeritus status. It is a time of emerging scholarship among mid-career academics and evolving research among new generations of graduate students that call for familiarity with established canons of educational change, and a growing field of intellectual, cultural, and global diversity. This Third handbook is written at this generational tipping point in the academic field, at a time when global knowledge and understanding of educational change is more accessible and abundant, and in a moment of great controversy regarding future directions of educational change in relation to a rapidly changing world.

JUSTICE FOR ALL Breq - the soldier who used to be a spaceship - is serving the emperor she swore to destroy. She's been given her own warship, her own crew and ordered to the only place in the galaxy she would have agreed to go: to Athoek Station, to protect the family of the lieutenant she murdered in cold blood. Athoek was annexed by the Empire some six hundred years ago, and by now everyone is fully 'civilised'. Or should be - but everything is not as tranquil as it appears.

With no guarantees that their interest is benevolent.

A new reading of Platos philosophy that reveals it as deeply shaped by his experiences in Athens. Plato is a key figure from the beginnings of Western philosophy, yet the impact of his lived experience on his thought has rarely been explored. Born during a war that would lead to Athens decline, Plato lived in turbulent times. Carol Atack explores how Platos life in Athens influenced his thought, how he developed the Socratic dialogue into a powerful philosophical tool, and how he used the institutions of Athenian society to create a compelling imaginative world. Accessibly written, this book shows how Plato made Athens the place where diverse ideas were integrated into a new way of approaching the big questions about our lives, then and now.
