Robert Stuart is one hard-nosed businessman. He is also suspected by the FBI of murder and treason that he did not commit. Emily Chang is his tenacious, beautiful colleague, and while the secret she holds can clear his name, it is evidence of a conspiracy to speed the rise of one empire on the ashes of another. Stuart and Chang together pursue an unlikely conspirator along a trail of industrial espionage and bloodshed. They also enter a race to seize control of mankind's most sinister weapon yet. Amid the Mojave Desert's arid swelter, Robert Stuart’s decision to abort the troubled test flight for which he is responsible is overridden by the company's CEO—whose daughter is among the casualties of the ensuing crash. Stuart presses on with the task of sifting through wreckage for clues to understand how they had inadvertently killed their colleagues and others. They unearth controversial evidence that turns the attention of federal investigators to Stuart’s own role in the tragedy. In Washington, D.C., the FBI have invited CIA operations veteran Sam McBurney to examine the disturbing discovery of a classified satellite document in the possession of an Iranian diplomat. Inside the ransacked Georgetown apartment, McBurney comes face-to-face with the terrorist he thought he had eliminated decades ago—except now he is certainly dead and lashed, flagrante delicto, to a young female confidante to the President of the United States. McBurney finds the White House cool to his case for Chinese-Iranian subterfuge, yet he receives grudging approval to exfiltrate from China a senior weapons expert who can provide them with answers. Emily Chang owes her independent streak to her physicist father, a strength she summons while estranging herself from him and the oppressive regime under which he labors. A discredited Stuart bets his reputation on her prowess in computer forensics to solve the riddle of the inexplicable plane crash.Publisher: SidneyElstonBooks Published: Nov 14, 2012 Pages: 552 ISBN: 0988254018 |

In the early 1980s, Leonard Mlodinow joined their ranks to begin a postdoctoral fellowship.

So began a pivotal year in a young man’s life. Though a series of fascinating exchanges, Mlodinow and Feynman delve into the nature of science, creativity, love mathematics, happiness, God, art, pleasures and ambition, producing a moving portrait of a friendship and an affecting account of Feynman’s final creative years.Publisher: Vintage Published: Nov 29, 2011 Pages: 192 ISBN: 0307946495 |

The Colossal Book of Mathematics collects together Gardner's most popular pieces from his legendary "Mathematical Games" column, which ran in Scientific American for twenty-five years. Gardner's array of absorbing puzzles and mind-twisting paradoxes opens mathematics up to the world at large, inspiring people to see past numbers and formulas and experience the application of mathematical principles to the mysterious world around them. With articles on topics ranging from simple algebra to the twisting surfaces of Mobius strips, from an endless game of Bulgarian solitaire to the unreachable dream of time travel, this volume comprises a substantial and definitive monument to Gardner's influence on mathematics, science, and culture. In its twelve sections, The Colossal Book of Math explores a wide range of areas, each startlingly illuminated by Gardner's incisive expertise. Beginning with seemingly simple topics, Gardner expertly guides us through complicated and wondrous worlds: by way of basic algebra we contemplate the mesmerizing, often hilarious, linguistic and numerical possibilities of palindromes; using simple geometry, he dissects the principles of symmetry upon which the renowned mathematical artist M. C. Escher constructs his unique, dizzying universe. Gardner, like few thinkers today, melds a rigorous scientific skepticism with a profound artistic and imaginative impulse. His stunning exploration of "The Church of the Fourth Dimension," for example, bridges the disparate worlds of religion and science by brilliantly imagining the spatial possibility of God's presence in the world as a fourth dimension, at once "everywhere and nowhere." With boundless wisdom and hisPublisher: W. W. Norton & Company Published: Sep 10, 2001 Pages: 704 ISBN: 0393020231 |
