More precisely, it's the solid of revolution of a rectangular hyperbola spun around one of its asymptotes (the book uses less precise terminology, but it's clear anyway what it's talking about). ![]() Mathematics is not central to this novel, but there's at least a fascinating idea: the story is set on a planet with a negative curvature. The author seems to change the direction of the plot towards the last third of the book but its still worth a read. Get pretty weird, but it is still a story well told.

A polarizing doorstop that begins as a four-college-friends-in-New-York soap opera and resolves into a saga of the elaborate physical, sexual, and emotional mortifications of a character named Jude St. The first question most readers will have about Hanya Yanagihara’s new novel, To Paradise, is whether it replicates the appeal of her surprise bestseller, 2015’s A Little Life. ![]() Slate has relationships with various online retailers.īut note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.Īll prices were up to date at the time of publication. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some organisations working in this area in India have already converted textbooks including NCERT textbooks for higher classes from IX to XII, while textbooks in Braille are available for all classes.

In a book series, the waves build one upon the next, and for each wave there is the spindrift, the bits of story that build around those big books, but have no real place within them. Stories are like waves, slowly building and coming in toward the shore. This spray, which “drifts” in the direction of the gale, is one of the characteristics of a wind speed of 8 Beaufort and higher at sea.
