Trying to open this document for download I'm firmly (unusually firmly) warned off by my ISP. It really was a 'go ahead if you want to be scammed' sort of thing. Anybody have an opinion about this?
Many people, mathematicians and aspirants, would find "Mathematics made Difficult" by Carl E Linderholm (pub. 1972) entertaining and possibly instructive. PDFs are available to those without scruples.
I'm no climate change denier, but there is a complexity to the effects which NASA has identified (and recently updated) https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/carbon-dioxide-fer...
In particular the Sahel, famously arid and increasing in size a few decades ago, is now becoming more fertile again to the extent that people are moving back there.
This was a Time Team Special in 2005 [Series 18, Episode 138], unfortunately named the "King of Bling". The location was given as Prittlewell, Essex [on the outskirts of Southend]. For non-Brits, Time Team has been a very long-running series on British TV, popularising field archeology to a very wide audience. It took a 'quick hit' approach following-up local suggestions to do a single week's digging with good resources. It reported the week's progress in a single, compact and well-structured broadcast. Much loved, it is now in hiatus, if not gone forever. Why it was not mentioned in connection with this 'discovery' is hard to say...
Smartphones of both flavours can load cheap or free apps that are quite effective enough to read barcodes and identify books.

I haven't got time to read all this dissertation on an interesting topic at the moment, but I was surprised to find that the relevant work of the other great "Donald" (Knuth) is not mentioned. He called it 'literate programming'. Here's a reference: https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/lp.html
I guess she means he left communism. A belief in history, almost as a god, is inherent in communism as I understand it. The changes they believe in are pre-ordained, they need only to join the stream.
In the Dark Universe novel by Daniel F Galouye, a section of humanity has hidden themselves for generations in lightless caverns below a poisoned Earth. They have become functionally blind, and find their way about by knocking stones together for echo location.
Have to have a valid Gitbook account to access these works, which is a bit of a mission. I keep getting 401 despite careful, and seemingly error-free, sign-up process.
Uniquely, AFAIK, the Dynalist team make their Trello kanban available for us all to see. We can also subscribe to and vote for our wished-for developments.
I remember reading that, even in the English countryside in the past, goitre was frequent among those who 'drank pond water' and thus missed out on any soluble naturally-occurring additives. And the cause was a mystery to everyone, of course.
