"Highlights the mental strategies elite athletes employ to get an edge on their competition."--The New York Times With an all-new foreword: competition-tested cognitive strategies to help triumph over any obstacle

Books on Shakespeare are plentiful, but until now there has never been a book written for a general audience about math and science in Shakespeare's time and how they influenced his works.Shakespeare grew up in a time of remarkable mathematical innovation. From astronomy to probability, music to multiplication, new mathematical ideas were taking off--and much of this was reflected in his work. In this highly engaging book, award-winning author Rob Eastaway explores the surprising and entertaining ways that mathematics and numbers crop up in Shakespeare's plays.We discover how Tudors multiplied, why Shakespeare never ended a line with the word orange, and why King Lear was every inch a king, and why early drafts of the plays could possibly have been written with a pencil. Shakespeare's world was one in which one might expect to travel no more than a league in an hour, and fathoms and furlongs were as much a part of the language as feet and yards. It was hard to conceive of anything shorter than a minute and the rainbow probably had just five colors.With historical asides about games, optics, astronomy, and music thrown in, you might never think about math or Shakespeare the same way again.

This is a story about you. It is the history of who you are and how you came to be. It is unique to you, as it is to each of the 100 billion modern humans who have ever drawn breath. But it is also our collective story, because in every one of our genomes we each carry the history of our species--births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration, and a lot of sex. Since scientists first read the human genome in 2001, it has been subject to all sorts of claims, counterclaims, and myths. In fact, as Adam Rutherford explains, our genomes should be read not as instruction manuals, but as epic poems. DNA determines far less than we have been led to believe about us as individuals, but vastly more about us as a species. In this captivating journey through the expanding landscape of genetics, Adam Rutherford reveals what our genes now tell us about history, and what history tells us about our genes. From Neanderthals to murder, from redheads to race, dead kings to plague, evolution to epigenetics, this is a demystifying and illuminating new portrait of who we are and how we came to be.
