How many licks to the center of a Tootsie Pop? How many people are having sex at this moment? How long would it take a monkey on a typewriter to produce the plays of Shakespeare? For all those questions that keep you up at night, here's the way to answer them. And the beauty of it is that it's all approximate! Using Enrico Fermi's theory of approximation, Santos brings the world of numbers into perspective. For puzzle junkies and trivia fanatics, these 70 word puzzles will show the reader how to take a bit of information, add what they already know, and extrapolate an answer. Santos has done the impossible: make math and the multiple possibilities of numbers fun and informative. Can you really cry a river? Is it possible to dig your way out of jail with just a teaspoon and before your life sentence is up? Taking an academic subject and using it as the prism to view everyday off-the-wall questions as math problems to be solved is a natural step for the lovers of sudoku, cryptograms, word puzzles, and other thought-provoking games.

A Conservative Writes About Damn Near Everything

File Size : 24,35 MB

Category : Philosophy
ISBN : 145359793X
Book Description
There are two major ideologies at play in our country right now, and they are diametrically opposed. Conservatism is minimalism and personal; Liberalism is expansive and group think. Conservatism is about small government controlled by the governed and personal responsibility. Liberalism is about expanding government and the government acting as caregiver and lack of personal responsibility (victimhood).In this work, I examine the major issues of the day and contrast the two ideologies using logic and sound thinking to come to a reasonable conclusion. The issues include: Are gays born that way or is it a choice? Since Darwin’s theory is still theory, why does all of science rest on it? Regarding our universe, is it only Darwin or creationism? Is popular science scientific? Gun control or self-defense? Why does the Supreme Court rule the way it does? The NEA—who’s the priority, students or teachers? The ACLU—protector or protagonist? Do we still need affirmative action? Do Liberals live in their own alternate universe? Are Black leaders stuck in the past? What about the Tea Party Movement? What is the military’s place in modern life? Are America’s best days in the past? These and other questions are examined in A Conservative Writes about Damn Near Everything. I stopped writing so I wouldn’t have to delete Damn Near. I assume you’re at least as smart as I am and are looking for more information. I believe I’ve delivered. Let’s continue the conversation so we can figure the best way to return our country to its rightful place as preeminent among nations. That’s the brilliance and prescience of our founders, our inheritance, and as proud Americans, our work order. We gave those with a different view an opportunity to show us their brighter tomorrow. What we got was potted meat for filet mignon. The experiment failed. Let’s scrap it and get back to what works so we can get back to work. Let those who think “profit” is a four-letter word get rid of theirs; we’ll keep ours and expand it. That’s what Conservatism does. Viva la difference.

Book Description
A supernatural thriller set in ANTARCTICA A woman running from her magic. A man who’s given up. Mutant culture colonies. A doomed ship. After violent, out of control magic killed her sister and drove her father mad, Kayna Quan ran as far and as fast as she could from the mixture of Chinese and Celtic power boiling through her blood. Fresh out of residency, she opts for a tour in Antarctica. Money is short, so she hires on as medical officer aboard a Russian research vessel headed for McMurdo Station. Brynn McMichaels’ stint on remote South Georgia Island is a fancy, probably overplayed, escape from a crappy breakup. He may have left an irate woman behind, but he could have picked somewhere closer to get away. When cultures of the single-celled organism, archaea, begin shifting into another form, overgrowing the bins in his lab, he’s convinced the isolation got to him until a call from an old buddy at McMurdo reveals a similar phenomenon. Intrigued, Brynn agrees to lend a hand. The weather’s too uncertain to send a plane, so he hitches a ride aboard Kayna’s ship, bringing his mutant culture colonies with him. And that’s only the beginning… PRAISE FOR ICY PASSAGE: With a seamless blend of science and the paranormal, this book captivates you right from the start. 5-stars!

Category : History
ISBN : 0826272401
Book Description
Carolyn Wilkins grew up defending her racial identity. Because of her light complexion and wavy hair, she spent years struggling to convince others that she was black. Her family’s prominence set Carolyn’s experiences even further apart from those of the average African American. Her father and uncle were well-known lawyers who had graduated from Harvard Law School. Another uncle had been a child prodigy and protégé of Albert Einstein. And her grandfather had been America's first black assistant secretary of labor. Carolyn's parents insisted she follow the color-conscious rituals of Chicago's elite black bourgeoisie—experiences Carolyn recalls as some of the most miserable of her entire life. Only in the company of her mischievous Aunt Marjory, a woman who refused to let the conventions of “proper” black society limit her, does Carolyn feel a true connection to her family's African American heritage. When Aunt Marjory passes away, Carolyn inherits ten bulging scrapbooks filled with family history and memories. What she finds in these photo albums inspires her to discover the truth about her ancestors—a quest that will eventually involve years of research, thousands of miles of travel, and much soul-searching. Carolyn learns that her great-grandfather John Bird Wilkins was born into slavery and went on to become a teacher, inventor, newspaperman, renegade Baptist minister, and a bigamist who abandoned five children. And when she discovers that her grandfather J. Ernest Wilkins may have been forced to resign from his labor department post by members of the Eisenhower administration, Carolyn must confront the bittersweet fruits of her family's generations-long quest for status and approval. Damn Near White is an insider’s portrait of an unusual American family. Readers will be drawn into Carolyn’s journey as she struggles to redefine herself in light of the long-buried secrets she uncovers. Tackling issues of class, color, and caste, Wilkins reflects on the changes of African American life in U.S. history through her dedicated search to discover her family’s powerful story.
