Book excerpt: Almost every family has given refuge to a stray animal or fed a rescued baby robin with an eyedropper. But a quail? Five of a Kind recounts the Plummer family's adventures as they met a challenge unique even in their long experience of animal adoption: the rearing of five young desert quail, from hatching to maturity. The odds were long against the birds' survival, and the Plummers had unexpected difficulties to face, among them an aggressive carnivorous cat. But all five of the birds survived. This is the story of those five—of Red-Leg, Brownie, Rose, Carrie, and Pearl—and of how they managed, with flair and character and to the delight and amusement of the author, to live through those first fifteen weeks, to be released eventually as adult birds to the wild—all except one, who refused to leave her adopted parents. Five of a Kind is a charming blend of personal involvement and natural history, an insight into the author's concern for and enjoyment of not just individual birds but their species and their natural societal order. This book is for anyone who shares those feelings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dice games have been played for centuries and are a staple of the playground, board games, and casinos alike. This pocket guide spans the history of dice and offers clear explanations of popular dice games, including farkle (played since the Middle Ages), Gluckhaus (a German game of fortune, played since the medieval era), craps, and Jacks! This guide also includes tips on winning and how to avoid being tricked by loaded or “crooked” dice. Famous dice players, such as the Roman emperors Augustus and Caligula, lost money playing dice and quickly stole other people’s to continue their gaming sprees. In the early nineteenth century, fortunes could be won and lost at the roll of a die and it was not only money which was gambled away, but estates and even marriages. Full of fascinating facts and useful tips, this is a must-read book for everyone interested in family fun, games, gambling, or social history. Did you know? • Dice derives from the Latin datum, meaning “ought to be played” • The black marks showing the numbers are called pips • Dice were first played in India around 3000 bc • Dice were originally made from bones, including knuckle and ankle bones • Traditionally cubed, dice also come in other geometric shapes, incuding the zocchihedron, the 100-sided die, and the deltoidal icositetrahedron, where each side is shaped like a kite

Book excerpt: Combinatorics, Second Edition is a well-rounded, general introduction to the subjects of enumerative, bijective, and algebraic combinatorics. The textbook emphasizes bijective proofs, which provide elegant solutions to counting problems by setting up one-to-one correspondences between two sets of combinatorial objects. The author has written the textbook to be accessible to readers without any prior background in abstract algebra or combinatorics. Part I of the second edition develops an array of mathematical tools to solve counting problems: basic counting rules, recursions, inclusion-exclusion techniques, generating functions, bijective proofs, and linear algebraic methods. These tools are used to analyze combinatorial structures such as words, permutations, subsets, functions, graphs, trees, lattice paths, and much more. Part II cover topics in algebraic combinatorics including group actions, permutation statistics, symmetric functions, and tableau combinatorics. This edition provides greater coverage of the use of ordinary and exponential generating functions as a problem-solving tool. Along with two new chapters, several new sections, and improved exposition throughout, the textbook is brimming with many examples and exercises of various levels of difficulty.
