Science and technology
Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction. By Philip Tetlock and Dan Gardner. Crown; 352 pages; $28. Random House; £14.99

Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity. By Steve Silberman. Avery; 544 pages; $29.95. Allen & Unwin; £16.99
How a widely contested condition grew out of conflicts between Nazi psychiatrists anxious for career advancement. The descriptions of how autistic children were treated in the 20th century is especially shocking. Winner of the 2015 Samuel Johnson prize for non-fiction.

Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension. By Matt Parker. Farrar, Straus and Giroux; 464 pages; $28. Particular Books; £16.99
Officially described as “a riotous journey through the possibilities of numbers, with audience participation”, this is an unusual, in-depth but highly accessible popular-maths book by a member of the London Mathematical Society who also has a sideline in stand-up comedy.
Seven Brief Lessons on Physics. By Carlo Rovelli. Translated by Simon Carnell and Erica Segre. Allen Lane; 83 pages; £9.99
A startling and illustrative distillation of centuries of science by an Italian theoretical physicist. Simon Carnell and Erica Segre, a poet and a translator, have preserved the book’s lyrical and stripped-down prose.
The New Wild: Why Invasive Species Will Be Nature’s Salvation. By Fred Pearce.Beacon Press; 272 pages; $26.95
A carefully researched, analytical look at the effects that new species have on different environments into which they are introduced. The book debunks poor science and the cherry-picking of statistical examples to feed hysteria about keeping invasive species out and protecting an imaginary perfect past.
Adventures in Human Being. By Gavin Francis. Basic Books; 272 pages; $26.99. Profile; 256 pages; £14.99
A Scottish doctor, once the medical officer on a British research mission near the South Pole, takes a delightful journey closer to home, through the wondrous human body, from top to tail, inside to out.
Spirals in Time: The Secret Life and Curious Afterlife of Seashells. By Helen Scales.Bloomsbury; 304 pages; $27 and £16.99
A marine biologist-turned-science writer describes coming face-to-shell with a giant clam on the Great Barrier Reef, enjoying a bag of smoked oysters in Gambia and meeting a sea-silk seamstress in Italy. She makes an impassioned and convincing argument that, contrary to expectations, molluscs have much to teach us.
How to Talk about Videogames. By Ian Bogost. University of Minnesota Press; 208 pages; $70
Some say video games are the great sport of the 21st century, the summit of art and entertainment. Others call them mindless. Meditative essays on the meaning of gaming, by a game designer and professor of interactive computing.

Mullah Muhammad Omar
http://www.economist.com/news/obituary/21660499-mullah-muhammad-omar-founder-taliban-now-known-have-died-april-23rd-2013-aged
The economist, Aug 8th 2015
THIS picture is the only one of Mullah Omar that is confirmed as genuine. It was taken in 1993, the year before he founded the Taliban, when he was merely a fighter against the Soviet occupation of his country. He needed it as evidence that he had lost his right eye to enemy shrapnel, so that he could claim compensation. He never knowingly faced the camera again, since it was contrary to Islamic law.

スイスは、食べ物が高い。だいたい東京の二倍はする。
それほどおしゃれでもないアイスクリームが、4 CHF (400 yen)。大学の食堂の昼飯が、10 CHF (1000 yen)。スーパーで買うサンドイッチが、5 CHF (500 yen)。
物価が高いのは、経済が強いからだろうか？ 労働者に対して、正しい給料を払っているからだろうか？ 平均給料が高いのだろうか？
「円」が弱くなったということだろうか？ 日本の安い店では、労働者の給料が安いということだろうか？ 日本は長い「デフレ」ということだろうか？
マックとスターバックスはあった。「吉野家」があれば良かったな。
スイスの人口は約800万人、面積は四国程度。
国民一人あたりでは、スイスの方がお金を持っていそうだ。
The Big Mac indexでも、スイスは世界一だ。
USDに対して、スイスは、+60%
日本は、ほぼ0%。(2012/01)。
According to burgernomics the Swiss franc is a meaty 62% overvalued. The exchange rate that would equalise the price of a Swiss Big Mac with an American one is SFr1.55 to the dollar; the actual exchange rate is only 0.96. The cheapest burger is found in India, costing just $1.62.
