Feynman's rainbow : a search for beauty in physics and in life / by Mlodinow, Leonard,1954-(CARDINAL)353774;

"Some of the brightest minds in science have passed through the halls of the California Institute of Technology. In the early 1980s, Leonard Mlodinow joined their ranks to begin a postdoctoral fellowship. Afraid he was not smart enough to be there, despite his groundbreaking Ph.D. thesis, he took his insecurities to Richard Feynman, Caltech's intimidating resident genius and iconoclast. So began a pivotal year in a young man's life. Though a series of fascinating exchanges, Mlodinow and Feynman delve into the nature of science, creativity, love mathematics, happiness, God, art, pleasures and ambition, producing a moving portrait of a friendship and an affecting account of Feynman's final creative years"--Provided by publisher.

The MIT murders / by Bruneau, Stephen L,author.;

"Undergrad Susan Pearce meets Professor Hans Berger when she is selected to work on a cutting-edge brain research project at MIT. After what appears to be a significant breakthrough in the quest to cure Alzheimer's, the team gets a vote of confidence from angel investors and launches a start-up biotech company. Along the way, Pearce and Berger become more than just professor and lab assistant - they turn into flirtatious colleagues. But when several young women turn up dead in a series of sensational murders, the greater Boston area is set on edge. Could there be a connection to the research project? Dimas Augustin, the chief homicide detective with the Cambridge Police Department, is tasked with finding out - and his endeavor takes him from New England to California and reaches as far as Europe."--Back cover.

Predatory data : eugenics in big tech and our fight for an independent future / by Chan, Anita Say,Author(DLC)nb2014009065;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-241) and index."Predatory Data illuminates the throughline between the nineteenth century's anti-immigration and eugenics movements and our sprawling systems of techno-surveillance and algorithmic discrimination. With this book, Anita Say Chan offers a historical, globally multisited analysis of the relations of dispossession, misrecognition, and segregation expanded by dominant knowledge institutions in the Age of Big Data. While technological advancement has a tendency to feel inevitable, it always has a history, including efforts to chart a path for alternative futures and the important parallel story of defiant refusal and liberatory activism. Chan explores how more than a century ago, feminist, immigrant, and other minoritized actors refused dominant institutional research norms and worked to develop alternative data practices whose methods and traditions continue to reverberate through global justice-based data initiatives today. Looking to the past to shape our future, this book charts a path for an alternative historical consciousness grounded in the pursuit of global justice"--.

The world made wondrous : the Dutch collector's cabinet and the politics of possession / by Zumaya, Diva,author.(CARDINAL)879652; Los Angeles County Museum of Art,publisher,collector,host institution.(CARDINAL)137901;

Includes bibliographical references."Filled with over 300 objects including paintings, prints and sculptures, as well as gems, shells, and taxidermy, World Made Wondrous recreates a fictive 17th-century Dutch collector's cabinet in order to examine the political and colonial histories of European collecting practices in the 17th century. As Europeans assembled their cabinets, they ordered the world in deliberate ways, asserting judgments and hierarchies on the value of natural materials, forms of labor, forms of craftsmanship, as well as human worth, often with dire and deadly consequences. The exhibition will interrogate the underlying agendas and structures that were fundamental to these collections--which are precursors to today's European and American museums, including LACMA"--
