Mapmatics
A gripping exploration of how cartography shapes our world and the impact of maps on our everyday lives. ‘If you have ever wondered why an airliner bound from London to Los Angeles flies over Greenland, how we know what lies inside the Earth, or how computers correct errors, then this is for you’ – John Gribbin, author of Six Impossible Things How does a delivery driver distribute hundreds of packages in a single day? Why can maps help to win elections? Where should we look for serial killers? The answers lie in the crucial connection between maps and maths. In Mapmatics, mathematician Dr Paulina Rowinska embarks on a fascinating journey to discover the mathematical foundations of cart...

Mappematica
Come fa un fattorino a consegnare tanti pacchi in un solo giorno? Perché l'Alaska ha un aeroporto così trafficato? È vero che è impossibile stabilire con precisione la lunghezza delle coste o dei confini? E dove dovremmo cercare i più imprendibili serial killer? Potrà sembrare strano, ma domande così diverse hanno un'unica risposta: la soluzione sta infatti nello stretto, strettissimo legame tra mappe e matematica. Nella "mappematica", insomma, per usare il termine coniato da Paulina Rowinska, che in queste pagine ci coinvolge in un affascinante viaggio per scoprire i fondamenti matematici della cartografia e come essa abbia influenzato la ricerca matematica. A partire da una mitica c...
Mathematics of Planet Earth
Mathematics of Planet Earth (MPE) was started and continues to be consolidated as a collaboration of mathematical science organisations around the world. These organisations work together to tackle global environmental, social and economic problems using mathematics.This textbook introduces the fundamental topics of MPE to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, physics and engineering while explaining their modern usages and operational connections. In particular, it discusses the links between partial differential equations, data assimilation, dynamical systems, mathematical modelling and numerical simulations and applies them to insightful examples.The text also complements advanced courses in geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD) for meteorology, atmospheric science and oceanography. It links the fundamental scientific topics of GFD with their potential usage in applications of climate change and weather variability. The immediacy of examples provides an excellent introduction for experienced researchers interested in learning the scope and primary concepts of MPE.
A imię jego 34
Książka wydana wspólnie z Instytutem Studiów Politycznych PAN Książka opowiada o kilkuzdaniowym liście 34 intelektualistów do premiera Józefa Cyrankiewicza. Mowa w nim była o ograniczeniach papieru na wydawnictwa literackie oraz o rozszerzającej się cenzurze prewencyjnej. Ale te kilka niewinnych zdań wstrząsnęło Polską. Szczególne znaczenie miała lista 34 sygnatariuszy. Te nazwiska były jak wielki dzwon ostrzegawczy. List 34 był czymś niezwykłym w biografii mojego pokolenia. Był to pierwszy publiczny znak sprzeciwu wobec polityki postępującej zamordyzacji. Rozmawialiśmy o nim z fascynacją i podziwem, ponieważ list był sygnałem, że sprzeciw jest możliwy; że c...
Nature Cure
'Britain's greatest living nature writer' The Times Rediscover the extraodinary power of nature and the British wilderness, from award-winning naturalist and author Richard Mabey In the last year of the old millennium, Richard Mabey, Britain's foremost nature writer, fell into a severe depression. The natural world – which since childhood had been a source of joy and inspiration for him – became meaningless. Then, cared for by friends, he moved to East Anglia and he started to write again. Having left the cosseting woods of the Chiltern hills for the open flatlands of Norfolk, Richard Mabey found exhilaration in discovering a whole new landscape and gained fresh insights into our place in nature. Structured as intricately as a novel, a joy to read, truthful, exquisite and questing, Nature Cure is a book of hope, not just for individuals, but for our species. 'A brilliant, candid and heartfelt memoir...how he broke free of depression, reshaped his life and reconnected with the wild becomes nothing short of a manifesto for living...Mabey's particular vision, informed by a lifetime's reading and observation, is ultimately optimistic' Sunday Times
Mathematics of Planet Earth
Since its inception in 2013, Mathematics of Planet Earth (MPE) focuses on mathematical issues arising in the study of our planet. Interested in the impact of human activities on the Earth’s system, this multidisciplinary field considers the planet not only as a physical system, but also as a system supporting life, a system organized by humans, and a system at risk. The articles collected in this volume demonstrate the breadth of techniques and tools from mathematics, statistics, and operations research used in MPE. Topics include climate modeling, the spread of infectious diseases, stability of ecosystems, ecosystem services, biodiversity, infrastructure restoration after an extreme ev...
