Probably one of the best books I have read in a long time, Atomic Awakening: A New Look at the History and Future of Nuclear Power by James Mahaffey takes the reader on a grand journey. Covering in great detail almost every single development leading to the nuclear reactor, any intellectual will find this book to be a great pleasure to read.

Being alive in this century of massive human growth and progress, we sometimes need a reminder that our actions and decisions shape the future of the entire Earth. This reminder came to my attention while reading Countdown: Our Last, Best Hope for a Future on Earth?, by Alan Weisman. After reading, I was struck by an urge to find ways to help the Earth’s environment and I posted a suggestion on my blog. This is my first foray into the category of Environmental, Conservation, and Ecology. I will be looking for a new book to read on these subjects in the near future.
Fascinating book: Mathematics of Harmony by Alexey Stakhov. I found this book while doing some research on Elliott Waves. Other topics of interest: Golden Ratio and Fibonacci p-codes. Chapter nine is fascinating and it’s incredible that George M. Bergman was only twelve years old when he published the paper, A number system with an irrational base.
Who is Alexey Stakhov? Do a Google search on him to learn more about this scientist with over 500 publications, 14 books, and 65 international patents. Note: Do a Google search for the book’s ISBN number: 981277582X to find a pdf on DepositFiles 🙂
In the financial industry many models are based on Geometric Brownian Motion. However, these models tend to be inadequate and breakdown when the assumptions are violated. Searching for better stochastic models to model the market, I recently ran across an interesting topic in the field of market prediction and structure — the ideas of Ralph Nelson Elliott. It is remarkable that his ideas of market waves and structure were formulated in the 1930’s. Â His ideas were popularized by Robert Prechter who has numerous books and articles written on the subject. In this post I have introduced these ideas and will post all the articles and books I have and will read on this subject. I hope to develop these ideas further.

I recently entered a computer science reading frenzy and have a few books in this category which I wish to read. Code, by Charles Petzold provides a readable, accessible, and concise account of the fundamental concepts supporting the hardware and software enabling you to read this post. So important are these concepts to our daily lives, I think that this book should be required reading in all high schools.
