Mathematics of Discrete Structures for Computer Science

Who Me? 系列是由科學家本人和范德比大學 (Vanderbilt University)的合著者一同撰寫。透過科學家們鼓舞人心的的傳記，讓小讀者了解到，科學家都是像我們一樣的普通人，因為對學習和發現新事物的熱愛，一路上努力學習，並為自己創造機會並爭取成為科學家的機會，在了解科學家的成長故事的過程中，讀者除了能從中認識基本的科學概念，也能認識科學家現在所從事的尖端研究。The Who Me? series features inspirational biographies of scientists who young readers will be able to identify with as people like themselves. Written by the scientists themselves and co-authors from Vanderbilt University, the books are designed to help young readers understand that scientists are regular people like themselves who are excited about learning and discovering new things and who decided to work hard in school in order to create for themselves the opportunity to become scientists. As they learn the stories of these scientists, readers will also learn some basic science ideas, that are well-explained and easily understood, and be introduced to the cutting-edge science these scientists are working on today.

Find out about what is likely the fartiest food in the world: the Jerusalem artichoke, a root vegetable that is positively loaded with gas-producing inulin. Complete a fart-slang word search, and then come up with your own words for farts. Get everything you need to throw a fart party, including

Live a life filled with joy and try to consciously consider how to bring joy to the lives of those around you as well. Haydn Robarts Nineteen is a book of nineteen lessons learned from Haydn Robarts, whose short life profoundly changed all around him. Written by his father, it combines a personal memoir, universal lessons, insights from religion and science, and perspectives from Haydn and his parents. The result is a work that ultimately inspires an awareness, an awakening, and a mindset toward living this precious life with purpose and clarity. Haydn was a remarkable young man whose dignified response to his own suffering provides essential wisdom and hopeful possibilities for your own life.The philosopher is not influenced by praise or blame. He knows the truth and is not afraid, regardless of what happens to him in this world.

Do we have to choose between betraying our own values and being left behind without a voice? Absolutely not. We can naturally be persuasive and successful every day without making enemies of ourselves or other people.Influence is a science and renowned Yale professor Zoe Chance will help you master it in this fascinating book. Drawing on the latest behavioural research, entertaining real-life stories and the skills she teaches on her sell-out Yale University MBA course, Zoe Chance unpacks what influence is and how we are persuaded before setting out a series of powerful skills you can adopt to master the art of persuasion and influence. Her techniques include the Magic Question, Powerful Listening, the What Would It Take Question and Building Support. She also looks at how to use influence for maximum positive impact in the world – and how to defend y

Emma McKenna can't wait for third grade at the brand-new Curiosity Academy. She'll have a cool teacher who wears high-tops and science earrings. She'll meet interesting classmates from all over Peppermint Falls. Best of all, she'll get a fresh start after last year's talent-show disaster left her with that awful nickname. It's going to be the best year ever! Then Lucy walks into Mrs. Z's room. Lucy, Emma's best-friend-turned-enemy. Lucy, who gave Emma that nickname and spread it all over school! Emma's fresh start is doomed . . . unless she can make friends before Lucy ruins everything. So Emma sets out to be pals with everyone, just like her favorite animal, the capybara. As her classmates argue over the choice of a new school mascot, Emma stays quiet and doesn't pick sides. (The last thing she needs is another enemy.) But maybe speaking up could be the thing that helps her really connect with her class--and saves her at last from third-grade doom. Both sweetly poignant in its attenti

Take a magical ride around the globe to see the wonders of a single moment in a story illuminating our precious and fragile natural world. Our planet is always turning. It may be midnight in London, but in different time zones other living things are waking up, ready to hunt or feed or fight. As the clock strikes twelve, two sisters are spirited away on a journey to glimpse, in the span of a moment, extraordinary biodiversity: a mother polar bear and her cubs hunting seals in Svalbard, tiny turtles in India following the moon toward the sea, and enormous whale sharks gulping plankton in the Philippines. Quietly profound, this glowing tribute to the natural world--and reminder of its fragility--blends accessible science, lyricism, sweeping artwork, and a call for climate awareness into an ideal companion book for Earth Day, or any wondrous day on Earth.本書作者Nicola Davies在Walker與Candlewick出版過許多知識性的繪本。這本書的出版，從正文開始前的導讀，到書末的作者與繪者的話，都提到了環境保護的重要。故事從凌晨0點的倫敦開始，而倫敦也是格林威治天文臺的所在地，兩個不睡覺的小女孩，帶我們去神遊地球

本書講述18世紀兩位自然科學家──林奈與布豐──之間的對比與競爭。他們都嘗試完成一個艱鉅任務：為地球上的所有生物進行分類與描述。林奈相信生命可以被整齊地歸類，而布豐則認為自然是多變而複雜的。他們的觀點分歧，影響了後世對自然、演化與人類角色的理解。作者經過多年研究，以清晰的筆法呈現這段真實歷史，讓讀者了解兩人如何推動生物學的發展，也反思科學與文化如何交織影響至今。Pulitzer Prize for BiographyFinalist for the PEN/E.O.
