![]() ![]() ![]() My street was unnamed, so I didn’t have an address. Two miles up a gravel road in an isolated mountain valley and sixty miles from the nearest city, the cottage was not an appropriate arrangement for a girl on her own. I was waiting for the fox and hoping he wouldn’t show. ![]() Pressing my hands together as if praying, I pushed them between my knees while I sat with my feet tapping the ground. On the thirteenth day, at around three thirty and no later than four o’clock, I bundled up in more clothing than necessary to stay comfortably warm and went outside. Someone may have been watching us-a dusky shrew, a field mouse, a rubber boa-but it felt like we were alone with the world to ourselves. Nothing but two meters and one spindly forget-me-not lay between us. I sat on a camp chair with stiff spikes of bunchgrass poking into the canvas. Tucking the tip of his tail under his chin and squinting his eyes, he pretended to sleep. At no more than one minute after the sun capped the western hill, he lay down in a spot of dirt among the powdery blue bunchgrasses. For twelve consecutive days, the fox had appeared at my cottage. ![]()

Where do we come from? What makes the universe the way it is? In essence, why are we here? With dazzling clarity, Max Tegmark ponders these deep mysteries and allows us to grasp the most cutting-edge and mind-boggling theories of physics. Part-history of the cosmos, part-intellectual adventure, Our Mathematical Universe travels from the Big Bang to the distant future via parallel worlds, across every possible scale - from the sub-atomic to the intergalactic - showing how mathematics provides the answers to our questions about the world. Tegmark is a cosmologist at MIT and his first book, Our Mathematical Universe, is about the idea that the world is not merely described by mathematics, but actually made of mathematics. In Our Mathematical Universe, Max Tegmark, one of the most original physicists at work today, leads us on an astonishing journey to explore the mysteries uncovered by cosmology and to discover the nature of reality Why does mathematics explain the universe so well? From the big bang to the distant future via parallel worlds, Max Tegmark proposes a radical idea- that our reality is not only described by mathematics- it is mathematics. ![]() ![]() ![]() based on novel or book beach marriage crisis north carolina romance inn middle age Content Score.

What made this book exceptional is the way the author presented the different point of views of the characters. All of them needed to lose So-nyo before they can re-examine the kind of relationship they had with “Mother.” The husband was also reminded of how he walked fast ahead of his wife whenever they go to public places, how he left the house without saying a word to his wife and how he got angry whenever the wife forgets something. The children realized that they were all busy with their own lives to the point that they were not able to have deep conversations with their mother nor made her feel extra-special. As they desperately search for their lost “mother,” they discovered the never-ending love, support and hope that So-nyo has given them. Only when she suddenly vanishes that the family started to remember who she really is and what she does for all of them. The award-winning novel is all about Park So-nyo, a mother of five children, who got lost in a train station. ![]() ![]() ![]() The hardcover contains no new illustrations.

However, because the series is old, the fandom is small and scattered all over the world, and content is only available in Japan, there will be some materials that will not have any links or sources to them.
