<p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Maths + history + jokes - boring bits = A Quick History of Maths. This book begins around 43,000 years ago with a notched baboon leg, the Lebombo bone (the very first mathematical object in the world) and rushes us past Hindu numerals and the invention of zero, via Pythagoras, Pascal and probability, right up to the present day, with big data and the maths that rules our digital lives. Geometri-cool! You will discover: How to count on your fingers (there are more ways than you might think!) ; Why we have 60 seconds in a minute (hint: it's to do with the ancient Babylonians) ; How to count like an Egyptian (using hieroglyphs) ; Why it's hip to be square using square numbers... and much more. In chronological order from pre-history to present day, this is the story of maths itself. It's 43,000 years of human mathematical endeavour squeezed into one book for your reading pleasure. Illustrated with funny cartoons and packed with fascinating facts, you'll be laughing and learning how to be a better mathematician.</span><br></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Fouded in 1864, Wrexham AFC is the oldest club in Wales, with passionate fans and a proud history of giant-killing in the cups. But in recent years, the Red Dragons had fallen on hard times. In 2008, the club dropped out of the Football League - and a long, gruelling quest to escape non-league football began. In 2020, new owners from Hollywood - the actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny - took over. With new leadership, and big signings like strikers Paul Mullin and Ollie Palmer, the Dragons began to roar once again.</span><br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Relive the magic of Wrexham AFC's epic fight for promotion - the games, the goals, the highs and lows, the heartbreak and heroism of two incredible seasons for the Welsh team and their loyal legions of supporters.</span><br></p>

It covers a mixture of basic questions about planets, moons, human exploration and the origins of the universe, as well as tackling really BIG questions such as 'How do black holes work?', 'Is it worth going to space?' and 'What's going to happen at the end of time?'Join two curious children and a robot programmed with all the answers as they guide readers through some of the most mind-boggling facts, and a refreshingly honest take on what things we simply don't know, and how to approach questions that don't have simple, straight answers.Ideal for reading alone, but also an excellent place to generate classroom debate about the wonder of science and the value of space exploration.</span><br></p>

From catchy songs with acerbic lyrics to poetry recited in kavi sammelans to social media influencers shaping opinions with their brand of ‘breaking news’ to books rescripting historical events, ‘Hindutva Pop’ or H-Pop is steadily creating societal acceptability for Hindutva’s core beliefs. By cleverly inserting Hindutva into popular culture, H-Pop normalizes Islamophobia, demonizes minorities and vilifies its critics each day, without ever making headlines.</p><p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 20px; line-height: 34px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;">What makes H-Pop so popular?

He interrogates whether the creators are driven by ideology or commerce, and what motivates the audience to consume their daily dose of bigotry.
