A brilliant critique of the Right with very sharp insight on some of the shortcomings of the Left, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to understand how dishonest actors spread their propaganda. Ana Kasparian, Host and Executive Producer of The Young Turks

Michael Brooks takes on the new Intellectual Dark Web.

As the host of The Michael Brooks Show and co-host of the Majority Report, Brooks was a progressive fighter whose work brought people together from around the world. In this, his first book, he lets his understanding of the digital media environment direct his analysis of the conservative rebels who had taken YouTube by storm in 2018.
Brooks provides a theoretically rigorous but accessible critique of the most prominent renegades including Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson, and Brett Weinstein while also examining the social, political and media environment that such rebels thrive in.

This is a landmark in science writing that resurrects from the vaults of neglect the polymath Jerome Cardano, a Milanese of the sixteenth century.

Who is Jerome Cardano? A gambler and blasphemer, inventor and schemer, plagued by demons and anxieties, astrologer to kings, emperors, and popes. This stubborn and unworldly man was the son of a lawyer and a brothel keeper, but also a gifted physician and the unacknowledged discoverer of the mathematical foundations of quantum physics.

The Quantum Astrologer's Handbook, like Jerome, has multiple occupations: it is at once a biography, a history of science, an explanation of quantum theory, and an engrossing story which is truly original in its style and, in the manner of the modernists, embodies in its very form its theories about the world.

The Quantum Astrologer's Handbook is a science book with the panache of a novel, a work of and about genius.

An illuminating, millennia-spanning history of the impact mathematics has had on the world, and the fascinating people who have mastered its inherent power

Counting is not innate to our nature, and without education humans can rarely count past three -- beyond that, it's just more. But once harnessed by our ancestors, the power of numbers allowed humanity to flourish in ways that continue to lead to discoveries and enrich our lives today.

Ancient tax collectors used basic numeracy to fuel the growth of early civilization, navigators used clever geometrical tricks to engage in trade and connect people across vast distances, astronomers used logarithms to unlock the secrets of the heavens, and their descendants put them to use to land us on the moon. In every case, mathematics has proved to be a greatly underappreciated engine of human progress.

In this captivating, sweeping history, Michael Brooks acts as our guide through the ages. He makes the case that mathematics was one of the foundational innovations that catapulted humanity from a nomadic existence to civilization, and that it has since then been instrumental in every great leap of humankind. Here are ancient Egyptian priests, Babylonian bureaucrats, medieval architects, dueling Swiss brothers, renaissance painters, and an eccentric professor who invented the infrastructure of the online world. Their stories clearly demonstrate that the invention of mathematics was every bit as important to the human species as was the discovery of fire. From first page to last, The Art of More brings mathematics back into the heart of what it means to be human.

Spanning disciplines from biology to cosmology, chemistry to psychology to physics, Michael Brooks thrillingly captures the excitement of scientific discovery.Science's best-kept secret is this: even today, thereare experimental results that the most brilliant scientists cannot explain. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionized our world. If history is any precedent, we should look to today's inexplicable results to forecast the future of science. Michael Brooks heads to the scientific frontier to confront thirteen modern-day anomalies and what they might reveal about tomorrow's breakthroughs.

How can Christians believe in an all-powerful and loving God when there is so much suffering and evil in the world? Good God sets out to answer this question.

This book is recommended reading for planners preparing to take the AICP exam. In this new book, the author bridges the gap between theory and practice. The author describes an original approach-Feedback Strategy-that builds on the strengths of previous planning theories with one big difference: it not only acknowledges but welcomes politics-the bogeyman of real-world planning. Don't hold your nose or look the other way, the author advises planners, but use politics to your own advantage. The author admits that most of the time planning theory doesn't have much to do with planning practice. These ideas rooted in the planner's real world are different. This strategy employs everyday poltiical processes to advance planning, trusts planners' personal values and professional ethics, and depends on their ability to help clients articulate a vision. This volume will encourage not only veteran planners searching for a fresh approach, but also students and recent graduates dismayed by the gap between academic theory and actual practice.

Read this book before you have hernia surgery.

Read it when you are supposed to be recovering or when you realise that you are not recovering.

Not everyone has reoccurring problems with Hernia operations and not everyone gets misdiagnosed, but it happens a lot.

Its not surprising when you consider its one of the most common operations. More than a million operations a year are performed in the United States alone.

You would think we had this operation perfected to the point that recurrences are almost 0 but its not true, the recurrence rate is between 1-20% depending on the type of hernia you have and your lifestyle. These numbers do not account for all the millions living uncomfortably with their hernia for the rest of their life, unable to do the things they want to do.

Inside this book you will learn:
- What type of hernia you have, its not always obvious
- How to live with and manage the pain and discomfort
- The likely reason you got the hernia in the first place
- The hernia without a bump the average doctor misses (the scans miss them too)
- tips and tricks for everyday life

And lots more inside.

Whether your managing your life with hernias, being told you need an operation or your getting ready to go back for more help. I would be surprised if this book did not help you be prepared and informed of things you have never heard, things that never get mentioned but can effect everyday for the rest of your life.

This book would have saved me from a lot of suffering, I might have recovered and lived a normal life. Take advantage of my experiences and research for the betterment of you own life. I wish you good health and a happy life.

- Michael Brooks

In der Wissenschaft geht alles

Wir stellen uns die Wissenschaften und besonders die Naturwissenschaften immer als den Inbegriff der Vernunft vor: Sie sind kühl, logisch, objektiv und frei von menschlichen Fehlern und Gefühlen. Doch Wissenschaft wird von Wissenschaftlern gemacht - und die sind nichts von alledem. Für den Fortschritt sorgen fast immer die subversiven Radikalen, die lieber Revolutionen anzetteln, als sich an die Regeln zu halten.

Um einen Durchbruch zu erzielen oder an die Spitze zu gelangen, scheuen die berühmtesten Forscher vor nichts zurück: Einstein folgte mystischen Visionen, Galilei täuschte und betrog, und Steve Jobs nahm Drogen. Einige führten gewagte Experimente mit sich selbst und mit anderen durch, und manchmal kamen sie dabei sogar zu Tode.

Mit einem Augenzwinkern zeigt der Bestsellerautor Michael Brooks, dass die wirklich bahnbrechende Wissenschaft nur selten das Ergebnis penibler Forschungsarbeit ist. Sie bricht vielmehr alle Regeln, schert sich wenig um die Folgen und zelebriert ihre geheime Anarchie.

Die gro en Fragen behandeln grundlegende Probleme und Konzepte in Wissenschaft und Philosophie, die Forscher und Denker seit jeher umtreiben. Anspruch der ambitionierten Reihe ist es, die Antworten auf diese Fragen zu pr sentieren und damit die wichtigsten Gedanken der Menschheit in einzigartigen bersichten zu b ndeln. Im vorliegenden Band Physik beleuchtet Michael Brooks die oft verwirrenden Fragen dieser Disziplin, sei es zu Quantenphysik, Relativit t oder der Natur der Realit t. Die gro en Fragen sind: Wozu ist Physik da?, Was ist Zeit?, Was geschah mit Schr dingers Katze?, Warum f llt der Apfel nach unten?, Sind feste Stoffe wirklich fest?, Warum gibt es nichts umsonst?, Ist letztlich alles Zufall?, Was ist Gottes Teilchen?, Bin ich einmalig?, K nnen wir durch die Zeit reisen?, Wird das Erdmagnetfeld verschwinden?, Warum ist E gleich mc²?, Ver ndert ein Blick das Universum?, Ist Chaos gleich Katastrophe?, Was ist Licht?, Geht es in der Stringtheorie um Bindf den?, Warum gibt es berhaupt etwas?, Leben wir in einer Simulation?, Welche ist die st rkste Naturkraft?, Was ist das wahre Wesen der Realit t?

We have, in the last few years, radically improved our grasp of the quantum world. Not just intellectually, either: our ability to manipulate real quantum systems has grown in equal measure with our understanding of their fundamental behavior. These two shoots - the intellectual and the practical harnessing of the quantum world - have sprung up at a time when a third shoot - information processing - has also been experiencing explosive growth. These three shoots are now becoming intertwined. Twisted together, our understanding of information processing, quantum theory and practical quantum control make for a strong new growth with enormous potential. One must always be careful about using the word 'revolutionary' too readily. It is, however, difficult to find another word to describe the developments that have been taking place during the second half of the 1990s. In 1986 Richard Feynman, the visionary professor of physics, made a very interesting remark: ... we are going to be even more ridiculous later and consider bits written on one atom instead of the present 1011 atoms. Such nonsense is very entertaining to professors like me. It is exceptionally unfortunate that Feynman did not live to see this 'nonsense' fully transformed into reality. He, more than anybody, would enjoy the fact that it is now possible to write information onto an atom, or indeed an ion or a photon.
