Butterfly in the Quantum World by Indu Satija, with contributions by Douglas Hofstadter, is the first book ever to tell the story of the "Hofstadter butterfly", a beautiful and fascinating graph lying at the heart of the quantum theory of matter. The butterfly came out of a simple-sounding question: What happens if you immerse a crystal in a magnetic field? What energies can the electrons take on? From 1930 onwards, physicists struggled to answer this question, until 1974, when graduate student Douglas Hofstadter discovered that the answer was a graph consisting of nothing but copies of itself nested down infinitely many times. This wild mathematical object caught the physics world totally by surprise, and it continues to mesmerize physicists and mathematicians today. The butterfly plot is intimately related to many other important phenomena in number theory and physics, including Apollonian gaskets, the Foucault pendulum, quasicrystals, the quantum Hall effect, and many more. Its story reflects the magic, the mystery, and the simplicity of the laws of nature, and Indu Satija, in a wonderfully personal style, relates this story, enriching it with a vast number of lively historical anecdotes, many photographs, beautiful visual images, and even poems, making her book a great feast, for the eyes, for the mind and for the soul.

Erasing the Sky and Creating a New Horizon Living Life After a Traumatic Brain Injury Jaime Polites With Gabriella Gafni No one could have imagined that November 28, 1994, an ordinary day in Jaime Polites' life, would forever change her future. At 18, the world was at her feet. Through hard work, dedication, and perseverance, Jaime enjoyed the gifts of hope and promise. Always on the go, Jaime more than lived up to her namesake, the Bionic Woman, "Jaime Sommers," a fictional character in the 1970's television series. Juggling school, work, and an active social life was simply a matter of course for the vivacious teen, whose magnetic personality and infectious laugh drew everyone she met into her world. Then, just one semester away from earning her Associates Degree and moving on to college, Jaime made a fateful decision that forever altered her life. By accepting a dinner invitation from Eric, her former boyfriend, she had hoped to catch up, show him that she had moved on and was ascending the ladder of success. That innocent plan tranformed into a nightmare when, on the way home, Eric drifted into oncoming traffic. Although Eric's side of the car was totaled, he miraculously emerged with only a sprained ankle and a temporary limp. Jaime's side of the vehicle, however, displayed a minor, almost imperceptible dent. Tragically, the passenger inside was rendered comatose and fighting for her life. Judy and Gary Polites rushed to the hospital to be at their daughter's bedside, hoping against hope that she would defy the odds - and she did; but the road was long and painful, filled with uncertainty and incorrect diagnoses. After trial and error - and, ultimately, proper medical intervention, Jaime discovered that she was experiencing the symptoms of epilepsy. Supported and uplifted by her mother's love, strength, and tenacity, Jaime slowly integrated into life again. Despite intense personal disappointments and physical setbacks, her never-give-up approach never failed to win the day - and always does. In her compelling autobiography, Erasing the Sky and Creating a New Horizon - Living Life After a Traumatic Brain Injury, Jaime triumphantly demonstrates that all is possible through faith, hope, and optimism. Read her story, be inspired, and acknowledge the beauty of showing up for life. Jaime is an ambassador for Cyberonics, the pioneer in Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy.

The groundbreaking female pilot featured in the hit Broadway musical Come from Away tells her story in this high-flying and inspiring picture-book autobiography! When Beverley Bass was a young girl in the late 1950s, she told her parents she wanted to fly planes--and they told her that girls couldn't be pilots. Still, they encouraged her, and brought her to a nearby airport to watch the planes take off and land. After decades of refusing to take no for an answer, in 1986 Beverley became the first female pilot promoted to captain by American Airlines and led the first all-female crewed flight shortly thereafter. Her revolutionary career became even more newsworthy when she was forced to land in the remote town of Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001, due to US airspace closures. After several days there, she flew her crew and passengers safely home. Beverley's incredible life is now immortalized in the hit Broadway musical Come from Away. Here, discover how she went from an ambitious young girl gazing up at the sky to a groundbreaking pilot smiling down from the cockpit.

A novel that crowns Thomas Fleming's forty-year career, Conquerors of the Sky takes readers on a gripping insider's journey into the lives and loves, the hopes and heartbreaks of the men and women who make America's planes. When Adrian Van Ness, the enigmatic chairman of Buchanan Aircraft, dies of a heart attack, a struggle for control of the aerospace giant erupts between burly Dick Stone, the tough-talking money man from New York, and Californian Cliff Morris, CEO and supersalesman. Sarah Morris, Cliff's estranged English-born wife, knows all the company's secrets. With her at the controls, Conquerors of the Sky becomes a time trip to the early years of the twentieth century, when flight was seen as spiritual ascent and idealistic Frank Buchanan began designing planes. New York aristocrat Adrian Van Ness is equally fascinated by these new machines--as a financial bonanza. In 1930, Adrian's amoral business genius and Frank's visions of ever swifter sleeker planes form a precarious alliance. Soon Buchanan Aircraft is competing with Lockheed and Boeing and Northrop for contracts to build airliners and bombers and fighters. As corrupt connections between generals and congressmen and presidents multiply, Frank sees some of his greatest planes scuttled by dirty political deals. He watches Adrian grow rich and powerful preaching the gospel of air power in the century's wars. When Dick Stone joins Buchanan he sees Adrian as his American father. But he soon shifts his spiritual allegiance to Frank Buchanan. Cliff Morris's flamboyant style conceals a ruinous moral collapse in the deadly skies over World War II Germany. His fear of discovery is worsened by the sardonic shadow of his stepbrother, Billy McCall, the supreme pilot Cliff will never become. Sarah loves all three men and ultimately has to choose between them, knowing that in the macho world of Buchanan Aircraft, women are objects to be enjoyed -- or used to sell the latest bomber or airliner. For women like Amanda Van Ness, Adrian's wife (and Frank Buchanan's lover), this leads to madness. For Sarah it leads to power -- at a terrible price. Spanning the history of flight from the clumsy fabric planes of 1911 to the whizzing stealth fighters of today, Conquerors of the Sky is a page-turning drama of the struggle to mesh aerodynamic visions with the harsh realities of cashflow and profits -- and with the desires and dreams of the men and women who inhabit this unique world. Told by a master of the historical imagination, it is a must-read book that will launch America into the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of flight.
