George reviews the absolute centrality of blood in science, medicine, and society. Together with anecdotes and reporting, she explores blood donation, rare blood-type philanthropists, and worldwide research and transfusion practices concerning this life-saving yet treacherous fluid.

Seminal first volume of a series devoted to providing a thorough and accessible general discussion of the basics in computer algorithms. With almost 1,000 exercises per volume, this work lays the foundation for a complete mastery of computer science.Part of: The Art of Computer Programming (6 books).

For the last couple of centuries, explore the inspiring story of change in the overall global health, education, and quality of life. Despite all kinds of economic inequalities the world over, quality of life saw major improvements, which were not directly proportionate to the increase in income. This book is a cornerstone in depicting how innovations in medicine, technology, and policy have brought about longer lifespans of humans, less poverty, and much greater access to educational institutions across the human population. It rebuts pessimistic standpoints on the issue of development, proffering evidence as to how human ingenuity and cooperation have brought about general human betterment. An optimistic perspective on the future of humankind, as it shows the ability for the further elevation of the quality of life of mankind in the world.

This is a novel that breaks into Shakespeare's family, talking about life and death at the hands of Shakespeare's son, Hamnet. Set in the late sixteenth century, and the themes that are in the book are love, loss, and how grief can actually rip a family apart. The story is a richly imagined journey into the emotional landscape of a father's sorrow, woven in with the daily life and struggles of Elizabethan England. With vivid detail and great feeling, the book captures the manner in which personal tragedy can spur great art while evoking a touching portrait of the Bard's most personal loss.

It systematically explains combinatorial algorithms in the light of their generation, enumeration, and optimization of combinatorial structures. Knuth combines in his presentations both systematic explanations and practical examples, and this was a tradition of uniting theory with practical computing realities.Part of: The Art of Computer Programming (6 books).

In "Sorting and Searching," Knuth gives readers a great opportunity to delve squarely into sorting and searching, putting at their disposal a no-rambles coverage of key algorithms for computer science. With highly analytic and vast examples, here is not a single tool you want to miss to become a god of efficiency and effectiveness in these two vital operations.Part of: The Art of Computer Programming (6 books).

This fascicle continues research into combinatorial algorithms and broadens the scope of research to cover generation and enumeration issues. In this respect, in this exercise at hand, Knuth determines complex problems and their cognizant efficiencies regarding the algorithm designs in all senses that cover tightly, in a sweeping coverage, catering mostly to an advanced student and professional in computer science.

Concerning the second volume, laid down by Knuth with great care and respect for the mathematical aspects involved and the practical applicability of the results obtained in understanding the semi-numerical algorithms, the title "must-read" for all who want to really understand number theory it is, including its computational base considering both random number generation and arithmetic algorithms—that is, it literally becomes the cornerstone for all serious programming and the very science of computer universes at large.Part of: The Art of Computer Programming (6 books). The: Seminumerical Algorithms.

This fascicle covers specific aspects of combinatorial algorithms in far greater detail than is available in the main volume, further deepening the treatment with extensive study of advanced topics. It is an essential complement for anyone who wants to delve into their studies on algorithmic techniques and how they apply to computing.
