Sinopse

"Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" is a satirical novella set in a two-dimensional world inhabited by geometric figures. Abbott employs a distinctive literary style that melds social commentary with mathematical concepts, reflecting the Victorian context that influenced his work. Through the protagonist, A Square, Abbott explores themes of hierarchy, class distinctions, and the limitations of perspective, urging readers to question their preconceived notions about dimensions and reality. His clever narrative reveals the absurdities of a society bound by rigid social structures, ultimately challenging the reader to envision broader dimensions beyond their own understanding. Edwin Abbott Abbott (1838-1926) was an English schoolmaster, theologian, and writer, whose diverse intellectual pursuits shaped his literary endeavors. As a man deeply interested in education and social reform, Abbott aimed to illuminate the constricting nature of societal norms and prejudices. His awareness of educational inequalities and his passion for mathematics directly informed the construction of Flatland, creating a bridge between the realms of geometry and human experience, effectively illustrating the limitations of human perception. I highly recommend "Flatland" to readers and scholars alike, as it remains a pivotal work that stimulates critical thinking about the nature of reality and perception. Its unique blend of humor, philosophical inquiry, and mathematical rigor makes it a must-read for those intrigued by the interplay between science and society, as well as those seeking a profound yet accessible exploration of dimensionality.

    A journey guided by science that explores the universe, the earth, and the story of life 
     
     
      
    For Irwin Shapiro, science starts with questions. This book provides a broad and entertaining survey of major scientific discoveries that have changed our views of nature and, in turn, spawned further questions. 
     
     
      
    Shapiro, an award-winning scientist and beloved teacher, separates his inquiry into three parts: looking up at the universe; looking down at the earth and its fossils; and looking in at the story of life. His framework encourages listeners to view science as a detective story—to observe and question nature and natural phenomena, and to base all conclusions on scientific evidence. 
     
     
      
    With his knowledgeable yet conversational approach, Shapiro offers an enjoyable way for the curious to learn about the foundations of a range of scientific topics: the motions of bodies in the cosmos, the history and structure of the earth, the evolution of organisms, and the search for extraterrestrial life and intelligence.

    What if neurodiverse individuals, including those dealing with autism, could find an integrated approach — in one place — that actually worked? What if they didn’t have to embark on a costly Diagnosis Odyssey, only to end up frustrated and no closer to a solution than when they started?  Pediatric neurologist Mark Mintz, MD will show you that it doesn’t have to be this way — because he has found a new path that has been transforming health care and producing better outcomes for his patients.  Wrong and inefficient treatment, over-reliance of medications, Byzantine healthcare bureaucracies and antiquated reimbursement systems disconnected from the actual value of care are affecting outcomes. Dr. Mintz will show you the problems with the system, some of which you know about, some of which may surprise you. He will take you to the bottom line and prove why cheaper doesn’t mean less expensive, and show you how a multi-disciplinary approach, inviting many perspectives to each case, actually streamline care and serves patients better. Working with the vast knowledge of his team consisting of professionals who specialize in both the medical and behavior side of diagnosis and treatment, he will show you how they were able to create an integrated system, stop the Diagnosis Odyssey in its tracks and bring real help to children, adults and their families.  Join Dr. Mintz on this journey through the healthcare “system” and meet the patients it has ill-served , only to be rescued by him and his team of caregivers. His head-and-heart approach will leave parents of children with autism and other neurological conditions realizing that, no matter their previous experiences, there is still hope.
