All the Wrong Moves


Book Description

An enthralling journey into the world of chess--a story of heartbreak, obsession, failure, and the hunger for greatness Sasha Chapin is a victim of chess. Like countless amateurs before him--Albert Einstein, Humphrey Bogart, Marcel Duchamp--the game has consumed his life and his mind. First captivated by it as a member of his high school chess club, his passion was rekindled during an accidental encounter with chess hustlers on the streets of Kathmandu. In its aftermath, he forgot how to care about anything else. He played at all hours, for weeks at a time. Like a spurned lover, he tried to move on, but he found the game more seductive the more he resisted it. And so, he thought, if he can't defeat his obsession, he had to succumb to it. All the Wrong Moves traces Chapin's rollicking two-year journey around the globe in search of glory. Along the way, he chronicles the highs and lows of his fixation, driven on this quest by lust, terror, and the elusive possibility of victory. Stylish, inventive, and laugh-out-loud funny, All the Wrong Moves is a celebration of the purity, violence, and beauty of the game.




Zoom


Book Description

From the speed of light to moving mountains -- and everything in between -- Zoom explores how the universe and its objects move. If you sit as still as you can in a quiet room, you might be able to convince yourself that nothing is moving. But air currents are still wafting around you. Blood rushes through your veins. The atoms in your chair jiggle furiously. In fact, the planet you are sitting on is whizzing through space thirty-five times faster than the speed of sound. Natural motion dominates our lives and the intricate mechanics of the world around us. In Zoom, Bob Berman explores how motion shapes every aspect of the universe, literally from the ground up. With an entertaining style and a gift for distilling the wondrous, Berman spans astronomy, geology, biology, meteorology, and the history of science, uncovering how clouds stay aloft, how the Earth's rotation curves a home run's flight, and why a mosquito's familiar whine resembles a telephone's dial tone. For readers who love to get smarter without realizing it, Zoom bursts with science writing at its best.

Death to Einstein!: The Video Transcripts, Volume 1


Book Description

From the Introduction: "Over the past several years, I have been keeping a video log of my thoughts on Relativity and Geocentricity. For the most part, they are a continuation of, a further development of, and an elaboration upon, ideas presented in my book Death to Einstein! I have now amassed a hundred or more hours of video, and have begun the laborious process of transcribing them. So the present volume represents the first batch of such transcripts." Transcripts in this volume: Why Physics MUST Combine Special Relativity’s Two Main Thought Experiments The Time Dilation Flaw The Time Dilation Flaw II The Center of the Observable Universe Flaw The Center of the Observable Universe Flaw II The Pseudoscience Flaw More on relativitys Planck/Ant Man Problem, steel balls, length contraction vs. object compression Burden of Proof: Geocentrism or Relativity? It’s Just Not True That Relativity Says Everything is Moving Relative to Everything Else Also included are two non-video essays: The Spherical Ship Debunking Relativity: The Light Clock Problem As well as a comic strip by Scott Reeves, Stephen Hawking Gets Taken to School




Anything That Moves


Book Description

The popular New Yorker writer combines the style of Mary Roach with the on-the-ground food savvy of Anthony Bourdain. Dana Goodyear’s narrative debut is a highly entertaining, revelatory look into the raucous, strange, fascinatingly complex world of contemporary American food culture. At once an uproarious behind-the-scenes adventure and a serious attempt to understand the implications of an emergent new cuisine, it introduces a cast of compelling and unexpected characters—from Los Angeles Times critic Jonathan Gold, to a high-end Las Vegas purveyor of rare and exotic ingredients, to the traffickers and promoters of raw milk and other forbidden products, to the hottest chefs who rely on them—all of whom, along with today’s diners, are changing the face of American eating. Ultimately, Goodyear looks at what we eat, and tells us who we are. As she places all of this within a vivid historical and cultural framework, she shows how these gathering culinary trends may eventually shape the way all Americans dine. What emerges is a picture of America at a moment of transition, designing the future as it reimagines the past.




You Create What You Believe


Book Description

What would happen with your life if you discover that you have power over your thoughts? That your reality is influenced by your thoughts. That what you are living is a result of your belief system. How does this knowledge change your daily routine? How would you think after proving that your mind has power over matter and your spirit has power over your mind? This book is about how our beliefs determine our lives. In a general sense, many people understand that. In this book, we will go beyond and develop the idea of how our beliefs actually create our life circumstances. We will leave the subject or thought that we were thrown into this world, and we pick up the thought that we are the ones who create the world we live in and our own reality. The thought that we are able to create our lives just as we want it to be.
