TO FORGIVE

DESIGN

Understanding FailureHENRY PETROSKI

“[An] authoritative textabout the interrelationshipbetween success and fail-ure in the engineering en-terprise…Petroski’s mostgripping passages are hisSherlockian dissections ofengineering fiascos andthe importance of learningfrom the vast archive offorensic analyses.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Though his focus here is primarily onbridges, Petroski extends his analysis to in-clude the sinking of the Titanic, the mid-flight explosion of TWA Flight 800, theChallenger tragedy, the Y2K computer pro-gramming crisis, and the Deepwater Horizonspill in the Gulf of Mexico. Each has its ownunique set of human, mechanical, and engi-neering failures, and Petroski does a terrificjob of identifying and communicating notonly what went wrong, but what was learnedfrom the failure and how that knowledge hassince been put into practice. Fellow engineersand armchair scientists will get the most outof the book, but even the layman will findPetroski’s study to be accessible, informative,and interesting.”—Publishers Weekly

ENGINEERING ANIMALS

How Life WorksMARK DENNY AND ALAN MCFADZEAN

A Physics World Book of the Year

“From soaring albatrosses to croaking bull-frogs, different creatures exploit various aspectsof engineering to help them fly, hunt, or com-municate. In a clear and well-illustrated ac-count, former aerospace engineers MarkDenny and Alan McFadzean describe the prin-ciples of physics that underlie animals’ sense ofsmell, their use of sonar, and how they flock,signal to each other, and consume energy.” —Nature

“A remark-able book…Written in alight and en-gaging style,but withplenty of ref-erences andfootnotes, En-gineering Ani-mals is perfectfor physicistswho, like yourreviewer,abandonedformal studiesin biology at

an early age and have always wondered whatthey missed.” —Physics World

“Mark Denny and Alan McFadzean’s Engi-neering Animals provides a generally engagingengineer’s perspective on how animals arebuilt and how they function…The authors doa nice job of making how animals work an en-ticing subject.” —ANDREW A. BIEWENER, Science

GALILEO’S MUSE

Renaissance Mathematics and the ArtsMARK A. PETERSON

“As Peterson sees it, Galileo has more in common with today’squantum theorists, whose work requires mad leaps of logic, thanhe does with the generations of by-the-numbers physicists he in-spired. The world’s first true scientist, the professor tells us, un-derstood that it takes a man of reason to provide the proof, butonly a fantasist can truly reimagine the universe.” —Boston Globe, Brainiac blog

“Peterson’s scientific background makes him well equipped toidentify and elucidate mathematical ideas present in workswhich are often considered in purely artistic terms…I found thebook very thought-provoking; it gave me a new appreciation of

how the Renaissance was not simply a ‘flowering’ of cultural activity, but represented a significantstep-change in modes of thought. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend this lively and stimu-lating book to anyone interested in the history of ideas.” —SOPHIE HUCZYNSKA, LONDON MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY

NUCLEAR FORCES

The Making of the Physicist Hans BetheSILVAN S. SCHWEBER

“[Bethe was] the supreme problem solver of the twentieth century.” —FREEMAN DYSON

What drove Nobel-winning physicist Hans Bethe, head of Theoretical Physics atLos Alamos during the Manhattan Project, to later renounce the weaponry he hadworked so tirelessly to create? That is one of the questions answered by NuclearForces, a riveting biography of Bethe’s early life and development as both a scien-tist and a man of principle.

A SHORT HISTORY OF PHYSICS IN THE

AMERICAN CENTURY

DAVID C. CASSIDY

“David Cassidy tells a big story in a short book written for anyone interested inthe place of science in American society. American physics began to stir at theend of the 19th century and rose to world hegemony by the beginning of WorldWar II. The creation of the atomic bomb, the Cold War, and the consequentlavish support for physics meant that American dominance endured until thelast decades of the 20th century. Cassidy stresses the perennial opposition be-tween pure and applied physics, the gigantizing of science dependent on thefederal purse, the transition from powerful science administrators to functionar-ies, globalization, and the relative marginalization of women. His conclusion onthe rise of solid-state physics, computing, and the Internet brings this dramaticstory to a dramatic close.” —J. L. HEILBRON, AUTHOR OF Galileo

“Cassidy tells this essential story with brevity and style, filling a major gap in modern historiography.” —SPENCER WEART, AIP CENTER FOR HISTORY OF PHYSICS

DUEL AT

DAWN

Heroes, Martyrs,and the Rise ofModernMathematicsAMIRALEXANDER

“Through thelife stories ofthree of the pe-riod’s most con-

troversial figures, Evariste Galois, Niels HenrikAbel and Janos Bolyai, Alexander reveals howtheir transgressive work changed mathematicsand led to their lionization as Romantic he-roes…Duel at Dawn neither talks over thehead of its readers nor condescends, but in-stead ensures that the work of these Romanticmathematicians is not cloaked in obscurity. Ofparticular note is hisbreakdown of Hungarianmathematician JanosBolyai’s discovery ofnon-Euclidian geometry.Alexander does not shyaway from the intricaciesof the theory, nor thedrawn out, convolutedhistory that underlies it.He takes readers throughthe process step by step,using plain language andclear diagrams to chart acourse through the un-known…Mathematicsneed not be a scary,daunting subject, andAlexander does much toprove it.” —MICHAEL PATRICKBRADY, Forbes.com

“Duel at Dawn suggestshow preconceptionsabout the trappings ofgenius have radiatedfrom art to maths. But itsgreater value lies in peel-ing back the layers of ha-giography from figuressuch as Galois to revealgloriously complicatedmen.” —JASCHA HOFFMAN, Nature

THE RISE OF NUCLEAR FEAR

SPENCER R. WEART

“This is a wonderful book, which I can’t waitto assign to my students. It’s not a conven-tional history of the nuclear age, but some-thing much more unusual and creative—anexploration of the images and emotions thatnuclear weapons and power generation haveinspired, from the dropping of the Bomb upto the recent crisis at the Fukushima reactor inJapan. The interplay of emotion and reason inthe atomic debate of the past 100 years is han-dled with great sensitivity but also incisive crit-icism. Neither side in that debate escapesWeart’s penetrating rebuttal of their wilderclaims.” —GERARD DE GROOT, AUTHOR OF The Bomb: A Life

“Isbell weaves together factsfrom anthropology, neuro-science, palaeontology, andpsychology to explain thatour emotional connection to snakes has a longevolutionary history…Her snake tales fromlong years in the bush are informative andoften funny. Isbell writes solid evolutionaryscience and also takes calculated risks.” —BARBARA J. KING, Times Literary Supplement

“Coolly testing hypotheses and assessing evi-dence across an impressive range of disci-plines—neuroscience, primate behavior,paleogeography, molecular biology, and genet-ics—[Isbell] argues that our distant primaterelatives developed their exceptional ability tosee and identify ‘objects that were close by andin front of them’ in order to detect and avoidwhat was almost certainly their most danger-ous predator—the snake…This groundbreak-ing, intellectually scintillating work isnonfiction at its absolute best. Isbell rangeswidely, unpacks her evidence meticulously,synthesizes disparate and difficult material eco-nomically, addresses counterarguments scrupu-lously, and writes cleanly, often gracefully, andoccasionally even playfully.” —The Atlantic

Gould addresses three questions about the mil-lennium with his typical erudition, warmth,and whimsy: What is the concept of a millen-nium, and how has its meaning shifted overtime? How did the projection of Christ’s 1,000-year reign become a secular measure? And whenexactly does the millennium begin—January 1,2000, or January 2, 2001?

THE LIVES OF THE BRAIN

Human Evolution and the Organ of MindJOHN S. ALLEN

“A very good introduction to recent research on cognition, especially cognitionand language. An antidote to many things you have read in Pinker.” —TYLER COWEN, marginalrevolution.com

“In The Lives of the Brain, John S. Allen explores the many influences thatanatomy, molecular biology, aging, development and culture have on the evolu-tion and functional organization of the human brain. He provides the perspec-tive and foundation to start thinking about brain evolution in a moresophisticated, multidimensional fashion.” —ASIF A. GHAZANFAR, Times Literary Supplement

“Allen does a remarkable job in providing an insightful and a timely synthesisof current knowledge about brain evolution…He successfully highlights thecontroversies that surround the ‘big’ issue of human brain evolution and

manages to integrate findings across different levels and from various fields. The style of writingis clear and the book makes a comprehensible reading for anyone with an interest in brain evolution.” —LAMBROS MALAFOURIS, American Journal of Human Biology

ARTHROPOD BRAINS

Evolution, Functional Elegance, and HistoricalSignificanceNICHOLAS JAMES STRAUSFELD

“This work is unlike anything else in the current or his-torical literature. There are interesting reviews and com-pilations that take, for example, an evo-devo view of thenervous system, but nothing that speaks so directly toneuroscientists while also challenging insect systema-tists.”—SUSAN E. FAHRBACH, WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY

“This is a remarkable contribution to the literature ofneuroscience. The visual presentation of the subject

through spectacularly stunning images is what sets this book apart. Strausfeld’s book is a testa-ment to the visionary pioneers of comparative neuroanatomy and will serve future generations ofneuroscientists as a touchstone for the remarkable history of the field of functional anatomy. I amconfident that his book will stand as a reference for decades to come.”—RONALD R. HOY, CORNELL UNIVERSITY

“Tumours removed, joints replaced, organstransplanted: every weekday, 85,000 non-emergency operations take place in the UnitedStates alone. Distinguished U.S. surgeon

Nicholas L. Tilney inter-sperses moments from hisown career with a rousinghistory of the evolution ofsurgery, breakthrough bybreakthrough.” —Nature

“Always entertaining…Dr.Tilney’s analysis of surgicaldevelopments during hislong career is little short ofbrilliant…Tilney providesfull accounts of both the sci-ence and practice of cardiacand transplant surgery, withtheir backgrounds in basicimmunology and the tech-nology of the heart-lungmachine. He illustrates hisnarrative with vivid exam-ples of real operations…Hehas a wonderful capacity todescribe what surgeons ac-tually do when they are op-erating, why they do it andwhy it sometimes ends infailure…Tilney is con-cerned, as every Americancitizen ought to be, with thechaotic state of Americanhealth care. His last chaptercontains a great deal of wis-dom (and documentation)about the problems of spi-raling costs, inequality of ac-cess and the pernicious waysin which the market drivesdecisions about how muchand what kind of treatmenta patient receives.” —WILLIAM BYNUM, Wall Street Journal

A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year

“As vital to medicine as mapping the rhythmof the heart and the firing of the nerves is anunderstanding of the diversity of the humanfamily. Gus White takes us on a marvelouspersonal journey that illuminates what itmeans to care for people of all races, religions,and cultures. The story of this man becomesthe aspiration of all those who seek to ministernot only to the body but also to the soul.” —JEROME GROOPMAN, M.D.

A New Zealand Listener Best Book of the Year

“Like all the best stories, this one has a pleasing symmetry. It is abook in two parts, each illuminating the other. On one sidestands evolutionary theory and its attempts to explain human na-ture. On the other is story itself, represented by two great worksof fiction: Homer’s Odyssey and Dr. Seuss’s Horton Hears aWho!…Boyd has some novel and thought-provoking ideas, andhis book covers an impressively wide terrain…What really mat-ters, Boyd makes clear, is whether a story is worthy of our atten-tion. On the Origin of Stories surely is.” —KATE DOUGLAS, New Scientist
