Book Description

“A fine mathematical biography.”—John Allen Paulos, New York Times Book Review Just when we thought we knew everything about Lewis Carroll, here comes this “insightful . . . scholarly . . . serious” (John Butcher, American Scientist) biography that will appeal to Alice fans everywhere. Fascinated by the inner life of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, Robin Wilson, a Carroll scholar and a noted mathematics professor, has produced this revelatory book—filled with more than one hundred striking and often playful illustrations—that examines the many inspirations and sources for Carroll’s fantastical writings, mathematical and otherwise. As Wilson demonstrates, Carroll made significant contributions to subjects as varied as voting patterns and the design of tennis tournaments, in the process creating large numbers of imaginative recreational puzzles based on mathematical ideas.

Book Description

The last two weeks have been a whirlwind, Victoria Morgan, reflects as she approaches the ancient ruins of Ephesus, Turkey. I’m putting my humdrum life behind and embarking on a new, hopefully, exciting path. The only remaining question is, where will that path lead? As the weeks progress, Tori’s hoped-for exciting summer adventure morphs into a tale of mystery, danger, and romance when she, her long-time friend, Mark, a theologian, and their two roommates, an archeologist and an historian, set out to solve the mystery of a 2000-year-old local legend. As they seek clues to uncover the truth about Flavia, a patrician Ephesian girl, and her slave, Junea, Tori’s tale becomes tangled with that of her first-century heroines. Like Flavia, whose life hangs in the balance in 56 A.D, Tori, faces a life-threatening situation in 2022. Was Flavia, with Junea’s help, be able to escape death? Will death be Tori’s fate? In this well-researched historical novel, the reader is transported back and forth between the once magnificent Ephesus of the first century and the city that lies in ruins today. As Tori and Flavia walk their separate paths, the reader comes to realize that life’s challenges can be similar for women of every century. Beautifully illustrated with many photographs of the Ephesus ruins as they are today and some of Ephesus as it would have looked during the first century, Tangled Tales presents an unforgettable story of Ephesus then and now.
