Although I did not know it at the time, this was the start of a major interest in the history and science of codes and code breaking, which has resulted in a 400-page book on the subject, an adaptation of the book for teenagers, a 5-part TV series, numerous talks and lectures, the purchase of an Enigma cipher machine and the development of an interactive crypto CD-ROM. When I wrote my first book, Fermat’s Last Theorem, I made a passing reference to the mathematics of cryptography. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The chances of enduring these journeys into the area were slim and also any person who made it out was transformed by the experience.

Unfortunately, despite offering a handful of scenes that sing, much of the collection languishes, too often missing the mark on the balance between subtlety and earnestness.įilthy Animals contains 11 stories, though from the first story on, every other story continues the same narrative thread, feeling as much like a novella punctuated by asides as a collection of isolated stories. Filthy Animals sees Taylor revisit many of the same themes that he first tackled in Real Life, with many characters being scientists or mathematicians, both since-reformed and unrepentant, as well as a wide variety of characters who struggle with how they fit into their relationships or sexuality.

Say the word "island", and many people instantly conjure up images of tropical paradise, perhaps on a Polynesian isle. ![]() Regardless of their length of stay, the lure of island life helped motivate both groups of people. James Strang, Harvey's "King of Confidence" led a band of Mormons to settle on Beaver Island, but he and the whole colony were gone within a decade. The Polynesian people settled and have occupied the islands of the central Pacific Ocean for over a thousand years, and understanding how they did it is part of what motivates Thompson's book. This week I reviewed Sea People, Christina Thompson's fantastic book on the history of the "puzzle of Polynesia", and Miles Harvey's The King of Confidence, a microshistory of the 19th century self-proclaimed "King James", who reigned on Beaver Island in Lake Michigan. Each week I set out to research and document ten "fun facts" on a topic loosely based on the two books I've reviewed that week. ![]() ![]() ![]() ‘Should I read …?’, ‘What’s that book?’ posts, sales links, piracy, plagiarism, low quality book lists, unmarked spoilers (instructions for spoiler tags are in the sidebar), sensationalist headlines, novelty accounts, low effort content.

![]() ![]() ![]() And Pickman had it as no man ever had it before or- I hope to Heaven- ever will again” (1). There’s something those fellows catch- beyond life- that they’re able to make us catch for a second. I don’t have to tell you why a Fuseli really brings a shiver while a cheap ghost-story frontispiece merely makes us laugh. That’s because only a real artist knows the actual anatomy of the terrible or the physiology of fear- the exact sort of lines and proportions that connect up with latent instincts or hereditary memories of fright, and the proper colour contrasts and lighting effects to stir the dormant sense of strangeness. Any magazine-cover hack can splash paint around wildly and call it a nightmare or a Witches’ Sabbath or a portrait of the devil, but only a great painter can make such a thing really scare or ring true. “You know, it takes profound art and profound insight into Nature to turn out stuff like Pickman’s. ![]() ![]() " A charming tale about needing naps and taking them. Parents - does this book work on your children?" Or if all else fails, the story is somewhat funny and enjoyable to read so it can win on that point. Gerald is rather cranky and realizes he needs to.
