Editorial : One of the best science books of all time, for people who want ahas in life. Whether you are a student, a researcher, or a curious citizen, try these tools on questions around you, and you will see how so much of the world starts fitting together.

Following his earlier gem, Street-Fighting Mathematics, Sanjoy Mahajan's new book takes a broad approach to estimation in science and engineering, on topics that range from black bodies to blue skies, from quantum mechanics to ocean waves. I have enjoyed using an early version while teaching Widely Applied Physics, and will make it mandatory reading for all my students now that it is out!

This highly original book is a beautiful introduction to how we should think quantitatively over a range
In this book, Sanjoy Mahajan shows us that the way to master complexity is through insight rather than precision. Precision can overwhelm us with information, whereas insight connects seemingly disparate pieces of information into a simple picture. Unlike computers, humans depend on insight. Based on the author's fifteen years of teaching at MIT, Cambridge University, and Olin College, The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering shows us how to build insight and find understanding, giving readers tools to help them solve any problem in science and engineering.To master complexity, we can organize it or discard it. The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering first teaches the tools for organizing complexity, then distinguishes the two paths for discarding complexity: with and without loss of information. Questions and problems throughout the text help readers master and apply these groups of tools. Armed with this three-part toolchest, and without complicated mathemati
I bought everything they've produced and highly recommend them all to qi gong enthusiasts. Chapters 3 and 4 provide a one stop shop for all things High Definition.
You are introduced to concepts that are largely technical, and the explanations are usually done just right. It goes beyond "this is really terrific stuff for your [heart, prostate, whatever]" typical of top 10 click-bait lists that infest the internet, and discusses physiological and biochemical mechanisms and pathways, citing studies from the primary literature. I was only somewhat impressed with the book. Some homophobic stuff hit really close. Additionally, the book compares and contrasts the viewpoints of creation/design with macroevolution on specific human traits.
Tables assist the reader with understanding relationships between design and purpose. Chelation works for me and my friends, who are experiencing reductions of plaque which allows better blood circulation. The sense of self for gay men is aff
