 The Poet and the Antiquaries: Chaucerian Scholarship and the Rise of Literary History, 1532-1635 by Megan L. Cook English | April 12, 2019 | ISBN: 0812250826 | EPUB | 288 pages | 8 MB Between 1532 and 1602, the works of Geoffrey Chaucer were published in no less than six folio editions. These were, in fact, the largest books of poetry produced in sixteenth-century England, and they significantly shaped the perceptions of Chaucer that would hold sway for centuries to come. But it is the stories behind these editions that are the focus of Megan L. Cook's interest in The Poet and the Antiquaries. She explores how antiquarians-historians, lexicographers, religious polemicists, and other readers with a professional, but not necessarily literary, interest in the English past-played an indispensable role in making Chaucer a figure of lasting literary and cultural importance.

In this first ever comprehensive survey of the subject for popular science readers, Arturo Sangalli explains how computers have brought a new practicality to mathematics and mathematical applications. By using fuzzy logic and related concepts, programmers have been able to sidestep the traditional and often cumbersome search for perfect mathematical solutions to embrace instead solutions that are "good enough." If mathematicians want their work to be relevant to the problems of the modern world, Sangalli shows, they must increasingly recognize "the importance of being fuzzy."
