By contrast, Michiko Kakutani in The New York Times is unimpressed, condemning Vowell's self-indulgent style: "Certainly at a time when ignorance and historical illiteracy are rampant, there is a place for books that make the past relevant and easy to digest for the casual reader. But Ms. Vowell's determination to render history user-friendly ...
The book begins with a historical overview of the long struggles with the parallel postulate in Euclidean geometry, [3] and of the foundational crisis of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, [6] Then, after reviewing background material in real analysis and computability theory, [1] the book concentrates on the reverse mathematics of theorems in real analysis, [3] including the Bolzano ...
The law of attraction is the New Thought spiritual belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life. [1] [2] The belief is based on the idea that people and their thoughts are made from "pure energy" and that like energy can attract like energy, thereby allowing people to improve their health, wealth, or personal relationships.

One of the more oft-quoted passages from Voegelin's work on Gnosticism is that "The problem of an eidos in history, hence, arises only when a Christian ...
Proofs from THE BOOK is a book of mathematical proofs by Martin Aigner and Günter M. Ziegler. The book is dedicated to the mathematician Paul Erdős, who often referred to "The Book" in which God keeps the most elegant proof of each mathematical theorem. During a lecture in 1985, Erdős said, "You don't have to believe in God, but you should ...
99 Variations on a Proof is a mathematics book by Philip Ording, in which he proves the same result in 99 different ways. Ording takes an example of a cubic equation , x 3 − 6 x 2 + 11 x − 6 = 2 x − 2 , {\displaystyle x^{3}-6x^{2}+11x-6=2x-2,} and shows that its solutions are x = 1 {\displaystyle x=1} and x = 4 {\displaystyle x=4} using a ...
