When Andrew Wiles of Princeton University announced a solution of Fermat's last theorem in 1993, it electrified the world of mathematics. After a flaw was discovered in the proof, Wiles had to work for another year--he had already labored in solitude for seven years--to establish that he had solved the 350-year-old problem. Simon Singh's book is a lively, comprehensible explanation of Wiles's work and of the star-, trauma-, and wacko-studded history of Fermat's last theorem. Fermat's Enigma contains some problems that offer a taste of the math, but it also includes limericks to give a feeling for the goofy side of mathematicians.

As Jacob grows up, a village girl named Ellen falls in love with him, and he with her. But before they are married, Jacob disappears—lured underwater by the ghosts who inhabit the sunken village.

Počasí je posledním fenoménem na Zemi, který si lidé dosud nedokázali podmanit. Nejsme schopni je ani přesně předpovídat, ani je nedokážeme ovlivnit. Jak ale funguje? Tato bohatě ilustrovaná kniha, která doprovází i televizní seriál BBC, nás zavede do nitra procesů, jež počasí utvářejí. Od hurikánů po písečné bouře a od monzunů, sněhových bouří, přes sluneční bouře a jet stream, všude tam nás doprovodí kniha Počasí. Najdeme v ní vysvětlení těch nejnebezpečnějších projevů zemského klimatu. Za pomoci dokonalých počítačových animací nám zprostředkuje těžko viditelné divy světa a pomůže nám představit si, jak vypadá vnitřek tornáda a další jevy. Jak se podařilo Japoncům za druhé světové války nepozorovaně dopravit bomby až na území USA? Proč v Los Angeles stoupá počet vražd právě ve dnech, kdy vane vítr zvaný Santa Ana?
