Books on Shakespeare are plentiful, but until now there has never been a book written for a general audience about math and science in Shakespeare's time and how they influenced his works.Shakespeare grew up in a time of remarkable mathematical innovation. From astronomy to probability, music to multiplication, new mathematical ideas were taking off--and much of this was reflected in his work. In this highly engaging book, award-winning author Rob Eastaway explores the surprising and entertaining ways that mathematics and numbers crop up in Shakespeare's plays.We discover how Tudors multiplied, why Shakespeare never ended a line with the word orange, and why King Lear was every inch a king, and why early drafts of the plays could possibly have been written with a pencil. Shakespeare's world was one in which one might expect to travel no more than a league in an hour, and fathoms and furlongs were as much a part of the language as feet and yards. It was hard to conceive of anything shorter than a minute and the rainbow probably had just five colors.With historical asides about games, optics, astronomy, and music thrown in, you might never think about math or Shakespeare the same way again.

Did you know you have cobwebs in your head, hair in your lungs, and snails in your ears? In the world of anatomy, every name paints a picture: from the arachnoid mater, a brain membrane resembling a spider's web, to the ciliated epithelium of the respiratory tract (from the Latin for "eyelash") and the curlicue cochleas (from the Greek for "snail") that power our hearing.Quirky, bizarre, and beautiful, Anatomical Oddities traverses the body's crypts, islets, and mountains to reveal a secret map of organ, tissue, and bone-complete with peculiar place names (duodenum, from the Greek for "twelve-fingers-long part of the gut") and overlooked but essential regions (like the orbicularis oculi, the muscle that lets us blink). Featuring stunning original artwork by the author-acclaimed science writer and presenter Alice Roberts- these fifty-seven brief lessons in anatomy lay bare the intricate details of the human body, the history of those who unearthed its secrets, and the rich world of language that gives us form.

Together, they're a window into the profoundest questions in physics-overturning, again and again, how we understand light, matter, time, and existence itself.

Fifty years after she was viciously attacked in full view of several neighbors and within earshot of still more, the name of murder victim Kitty Genovese still conjures the ugly spectre of American apathy. "37 Saw Murder but Didn't Call Police" ran the Times headline that created a legend. A thirty-eighth witness did call-"after much deliberation"-half an hour after the first attack left Kitty wounded on the street. By then, her killer had returned and finished the job: Kitty Genovese lay dying in a stairwell, just steps from the safety of her own apartment.The apparent indifference of Kitty's neighbors to her screams-and the cold-blooded calm of the killer who came back-fixed this case in the memory of detective chief Albert Seedman. Ten years later, he gave coauthor Peter Hellman the inside scoop on the murder that haunts a quiet corner of Kew Gardens, Queens-and the American conscience.Seedman's account of the investigation, now bookended by incisive new commentary from Hellman, is as gripping today as ever, and the plight of Kitty Genovese as chilling. When Seedman questioned the murderer about Kitty's neighbors, he replied, "I knew they wouldn't do anything. People never do. That late at night, they just go back to sleep." If he struck today, would we prove him wrong?

Public discourse? More like public discord. The battle cries of our culture wars are rife with "loaded language"-be it bias, slant, or spin. But listen closely, or you'll miss what Ali Almossawi finds more frightening still: words that erase accountability, history, even identity through what they leave unsaid.Speaking as wise old Mr. Rabbit, Almossawi leads us through a dark forest of rhetoric-aided by Orwell, Baldwin, and a squee-worthy cast of wide-eyed woodland creatures. Here, passive voice can pardon wrongdoers, statistics may be a smokescreen, gaslighting entraps the downtrodden, and irrelevant adjectives cement stereotypes. Emperor Squirrel isn't naked; he has a clothes-free sartorial style. Mouse's roof becomes flattened (Elephant's foot just happens to be there at the time). And when keen-eyed Owl claims a foreign shore, he seems to be overlooking someone . . .Fans of Almossawi's An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments couldn't ask for a better primer on the less logical ways that words can trick us. It takes a long pair of ears to hear what's left unsaid-but when you're a rabbit in a badger world, listening makes all the difference.

Sharks, snakes, and spiders get all the attention, but many of the most terrifying animals on the planet are probably ones you didn't know were so dangerous-like the otherworldly blue dragon, a tiny sea slug that can unleash a powerful sting, or the lethal mosaic crab, armed with a toxin 1,000 times deadlier than cyanide. And some creatures get rather creative when it comes to warding off predators-which is what makes them so amazing to read about. Take the adorable greater slow loris: This primate prepares to strike by first licking its venom-filled armpits!Before you run and hide, award-winning author and illustrator Sami Bayly shows how, once you understand why these animals have adapted to be so dangerous, you'll learn to appreciate their scarier sides. They're only trying to survive! And with so many of these species threatened or endangered, they're counting on us to learn to love and protect them . . . from a safe distance!Publisher's note: A Curious Collection of Dangerous Creatures was previously published in Australia under the title The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Dangerous Animals.

Mama, something went wrong in your tummy. And it made me come out as a boy instead of a girl.When Marlo Mack's three-year-old utters these words, her world splits wide open. Friends and family, experts, and Marlo herself had long downplayed her "son's" requests for pretty dresses and long hair as experimentation-as a phase-but that time is over. When little "M" begs, weeping, to be reborn, Marlo knows she has to start listening to her kid.How to Be a Girl is Mack's unflinching memoir of M's coming out-to her father, grandparents, classmates, and the world. Fearful of the prejudice that menaces M's future, Mack finds her liberal values surprisingly challenged: Why can't M just be a boy who wears skirts and loves fairies? But M doesn't give up: She's a girl!As mother and daughter teach one another How to Be a Girl, Mack realizes it's really the world that has a lot to learn-from her sparkly, spectacular M.

Before GPS, before the compass, and even before cartography, humankind was navigating. A windswept tree, the depth of a puddle, or a trill of birdsong could point the way home, and they still do-if you know how to look.With The Natural Navigator, his first book, Tristan Gooley invited us to notice the directional clues hidden all around: in the sun, moon, stars, clouds, weather patterns, lengthening shadows, changing tides, growing plants, and habits of wildlife. A decade after publication, this modern classic still reminds us that we can find south by joining the horns of the crescent moon-and find adventure in our own backyards.
