Free Download Martin Gardner: The Magic and Mystery of Numbers (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B085WB5FTL | 2020 | 7 hours and 00 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 387 MB
Author: Scientific American
Narrator: Kate Mulligan
How many people achieve a cult following because of their writing in mathematics? Only a handful, and Martin Gardner is among the most well-known and well-loved. Not only did he present a notoriously difficult subject in an engaging and accessible way, but in doing so, he attracted an incredibly broad readership. His correspondents ranged from academics like Roger Penrose and John Horton Conway to artists MC Escher and Salvador Dali to writer Isaac Asimov. His "Mathematical Games" column in Scientific American ran nearly every month for 26 years and was one of the most popular in the magazine's history. In this anthology, we strove to create a new "slice" through his wealth of material. Here, we focus on all flavors of numbers, from common integers and negative numbers to figurate numbers and the exotic random number Omega, which can be described but not computed. Some of these columns are less well-known, but they are no less fun. In true Gardner fashion, they leap from magic and games - as well as art, music, and literature - to flashes of deep mathematical insight. We hope that they will prove as inspirational now as they did to earlier audiences.

Author: Amy Edwards, The Great Courses
Narrator: Amy Edwards
The 1980s was a decade of change for many countries, but for Great Britain, it could be considered radical. The economic transformation of Britain during that period bears the indelible mark of Margaret Thatcher and her policies. In this Audible Original, Professor Amy Edwards takes you through the life and leadership of Margaret Thatcher. See how she went from being a shopkeeper's daughter who lived above her parent's corner shop to holding Britain's top job and earning a reputation as one of the most influential politicians of the 20th century. In addition, Professor Edwards considers just how revolutionary the social, economic, and political changes overseen by Thatcher's government really were and the effects they had on the daily lives of Britons of all ages and classes. And she concludes with Thatcher's contentious fall from power, showing how, even after the end of her premiership, "Thatcherism" continued to live on under her successors.

Author: Nikhil Goyal
Narrator: Christopher F. Costa
An indelible portrait of three children struggling to survive in the poorest neighborhood of the poorest large city in America. Kensington, Philadelphia, is distinguished only by its poverty. It is home to Ryan, Giancarlos, and Emmanuel, three Puerto Rican children who live among the most marginalized families in the United States. This is the story of their coming-of-age, which is beset by violence-the violence of homelessness, hunger, incarceration, stray bullets, sexual and physical assault, the hypermasculine logic of the streets, and the drug trade. In Kensington, eighteenth birthdays are not rites of passage but statistical miracles. One mistake drives Ryan out of middle school and into the juvenile justice pipeline. For Emmanuel, his queerness means his mother's rejection and sleeping in shelters.
