От физкултурния салон в училище с непогрешимата миризма на съблекалня до склад за вторични суровини и ферма за пуйки; от претъпкана с вещи къща до стъклена наблюдателна кула на върха на планината; от жежкото безвремие на сицилианската провинция до хапещия студ на една битническа Коледа в Лонг Айлънд. Колкото и разнообразни да са сюжетите, темите, гласовете и жанровете в сборника, през тях като обединяваща нишка минава въпросът за оцеляването - буквалното физическо оцеляване на отделния човек, но и на цели биологични видове и хабитати, челният сблъсък на детството с живота, границата между човек и родител, възможно ли е да ... |

The only numbers in this book are the page numbers. The three main branches of abstract math - topology, analysis, and algebra - turn out to be surprisingly easy to grasp. Or at least, they are when our guide is a math prodigy. With forthright wit and warm charm, Milo Beckman upends the conventional approach to mathematics, inviting us to think creatively about shape and dimension, the infinite and the infinitesimal, symmetries, proofs, and all how all these concepts fit together. Why is there a million dollar prize for counting shapes? Is anything bigger than infinity? And how is the "truth" of mathematics ... |

Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn't pick, a book she couldn't steal, or a bad decision she wouldn't make. She's spent half her life working for gloamists, magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie. Now, she's trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but going straight isn't easy. Bartending at a dive, she's still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires. Not ... |
