Lorenz's experiments would prompt the development of the National Meteorological Center in the 1980s. Edward Lorenz would change the way many people would think. Computers seemed to these scientists like large calculators that were not competent enough to do the necessary computations. In the 1960s, not only did meteorologists dislike forecasting, they also mistrusted computers. ![]() Gleick explains Lorenz's processes and numerical methods and applications that would make him the weather god in his own artificial universe. Although his machine broke down about once a week, Lorenz managed to mesmerize his colleagues. Lorenz, a research meteorologist, was a fixture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ![]() Lorenz had created a type of weather Camelot. ![]() Instead, the weather was always a permanent, dry condition as if it was the middle of the day in some midseason. The weather changed slowly yet it never rained, seasons never changed, and nightfall never arrived. Gleick begins by discussing the weather simulator created by Edward Lorenz. The book frequently returns to the information in Chapter 1, particularly the work of Edward Lorenz. "Chaos: Making a New Science" by James Gleick begins with the most basic knowledge of chaos as it is presented in weather. ![]()

What I love about this series is that it isn't a retelling, per say. (I actually ran out of reading material while I was in Hawaii, so I ran to the nearest Hawaiian Barnes & Noble and grabbed myself a copy!) So this year, The Wicked Will Rise, Dorothy's second book in the trilogy, was released (less than a month ago), and I instantly knew I had to get my hands on it. Rightfully so! Dorothy Must Die ended up being one of my favorite reads of that year. I read it immediately and couldn't put it down.

Summary: To make Oz a free land again, Amy Gumm was given a mission: remove the Tin Woodman’s heart, steal the Scarecrow’s brain, take the Lion’s courage, and then Dorothy must die.

What begins as a short visit with her parents quickly becomes a far more meaningful stay, though, as she discovers that the answers to what her future holds might be found by making peace with - and even embracing - the past. Desperate to escape the city and her trifecta of problems, Grace hits pause and retreats to her Connecticut hometown. ![]() A grammar whiz who's brilliant at correcting other people's errors, she hasn't yet found quite the right set of rules for fixing her own mistakes.

The remainder of the communally-shared property is awarded to the brothers who will then manage co-ownership of their agreed, awarded communally-shared portions. The contractual parties record their division agreement wherein they agree to award certain communally-shared fields to their sister as the sole owner. It is shown that this text is not a sales agreement, but a unique arrangement of a division agreement between family beneficiaries in a deceased estate. A new translation of this division agreement text is here presented. ![]() In his 1888 article, Pinches translated – with limited information regarding Akkadian and Sumerian grammar and structure – an Old Babylonian division agreement text, which he considered a sale of land, mentioning that the text “presents some very interesting features”. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In today's corporate world of huge government-funded grants and labs, many would like to forget that in Hitler-era Germany, more than half of all academic biologists joined the Nazi Party-a higher proportion than that of any other professional group-largely because of that party's support for genetics. The modern science of genetics may seem benign, but we often forget that it emerged out of a shameful past-eugenics-under the auspices of which over 100,000 individuals were compulsorily sterilized by the United States government, and in the service of which laboratories such as Cold Spring Harbor were created. ![]() But Genome also carries a deeper social message, which may explain why Ridley has critics he is a libertarian in a genome community that contains many statists. I gave a copy to an old classmate of mine, now an orthopaedic surgeon, and he loves it. ![]() This is the book to give to an intelligent person who knows something about life science, even if that knowledge is outdated or rudimentary, and who would enjoy accessing modern molecular biology without struggling through northern blots or X-ray diffractions. James Watson described this book as “a lucid and exhilarating romp through our human chromosomes,” and he is right. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bethia’s own life is circumscribed by work (her mother has died, and at age 12, she runs the household) and by her father’s conviction that the learning she craves is for boys only - in particular, her despised elder brother Makepeace.īethia tells her story in language rich in archaic and Indian words - she eats in the “garth,” sets out “the scraps for bever and supper,” performs tasks that are by turns “friggling” and “cackhanded” and, at night, sleeps in a “shakedown.” Later, she takes employment in Cambridge, where “since the townsfolk do not trouble where they tip their slops, the air reeks, and everywhere the middens rise, rotting in steaming piles of clutter and muck.” Canoes are “mishoons,” Indian spiritual leaders are “pawaaws,” and their homes are “wetus.” On almost every page are richly evocative and often unfamiliar words.ĭespite this archaic language, Bethia thinks like a modern girl. ![]() As a child, she meets and secretly becomes friends with Caleb, who later seeks out her father to request instruction from him and comes to live with the family. ![]() Caleb’s crossing from his American Indian culture to membership in the educational elite of Colonial society is seen through the eyes of a fictional character, Bethia Mayfield, the island-born daughter of an English clergyman. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel.
