Author: Parker, Matt (Mathematician), author. Published: 2024 Call Number: 516.24 Format: Books Summary: "Trigonometry is perhaps the most essential concept humans have ever devised. The simple yet versatile triangle allows us to record music, map the world, launch rockets into space, and be slightly less bad at pool. Triangles underpin our day-to-day lives and civilization as we know it. Matt Parker argues we should all show a lot more love for triangles, along with all the useful trigonometry and geometry they enable. To prove his point, he uses triangles to create his own digital avatar, survive a harrowing motorcycle ride, cut a sandwich, fall in love, measure tall buildings in a few awkward bounds, and make some unusual art. Along the way, he tells extraordinary and entertaining stories of the mathematicians, engineers, and philosophers--starting with Pythagoras--who dared to take triangles seriously"--

Author: Liebenthal, Ryann, author. Published: 2024 Call Number: 378.362 Format: Books Summary: "The maddening story of the student debt crisis in America, revealing the rotten policies, corrupt systems, and bad actors that have created an intergenerational fiasco. A college degree costs more and is worth less than ever before. Tuition at public colleges has more than tripled in the past fifty years. Over the same period the total volume of student debt in America has grown from virtually nothing to more than 1.7 trillion dollars, second only to home mortgages. Skyrocketing student loan burdens are leading multiple generations -- first millennials, and now Gen Z -- to put off the traditional milestones of adulthood: getting married, buying homes, starting families, and saving for retirement. The strain weighs even heavier on women and Black Americans. And with almost 10 percent of student debtors now over the age of sixty, it is a crisis no longer limited to the young. Ryann Liebenthal's Burdened exposes how the power plays of legislators and presidents, the commodification of higher education, and the rapacious practices of for-profit colleges and private lenders created today's student debt lava pit. This is the story of how infighting, moral failure, bigotry, militarism, and usury formed a system that almost no one can understand or navigate -- but which afflicts one in six American adults. As the notion of student loan cancellation enters the political mainstream, the future of student debt, and higher education itself, hangs in the balance. Deeply researched and dramatically told, Burdened is a timely rallying cry that charts a way out by offering clear-eyed solutions to this seemingly unfixable problem." --

Published: 2020 Call Number: 323.6 Format: Books Summary: "Thomas Jefferson believed in the covenant between a government and its citizens, in both the government's responsibilities to its people and also the people's responsibility to the republic. In this illuminating collection, a project of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jon Meacham has gathered Jefferson's most powerful and provocative reflections on the subject, drawn from public speeches and documents as well as his private correspondence.

The importance of a free press:"Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." Public education: "Enlighten the public generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body & mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day." Participation in government: A citizen should be "a participator in the government of affairs not merely at an election, one day in the year, but every day.""--
