Praise for the Dresden Files&ldquo;Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe.&rdquo;&mdash;Entertainment Weekly&ldquo;Fans of Laurell&#160; K. Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series.&rdquo;&mdash;Midwest Book Review &#160; &ldquo;Superlative.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review) &#160; &ldquo;One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves.&rdquo;&mdash;Cinescape &#160; &ldquo;Butcher...spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry&rsquo;s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist (starred review) &#160; &ldquo;What&rsquo;s not to like about this series?...It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves.&rdquo;&mdash;SF Site &#160; &ldquo;A tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic. Longtime series fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi Channel&rsquo;s TV series based on the novels should find this supernatural mystery a real winner.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal &#160; &ldquo;What would you get if you crossed Spenser with Merlin? Probably you would come up with someone very like Harry Dresden, wizard, tough guy and star of [the Dresden Files].&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Times

From the reviews:“Develops the prerequisites to algorithmic randomness: computability theory and Kolmogorov complexity. … Studying these … one should be able to proceed in the area with confidence. A draft of the book under review has been circulating for years and the reviewer found it to be the best source when attempting to conduct research in the area … . It is advantageous for the future of the area of algorithmic randomness that these two books were published at the cusp of a period of great activity.” (Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 g)“A thorough and systematic study of algorithmic randomness, this long-awaited work is an irreplaceable source of well-presented classic and new results for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in the field and related areas. The book joins a select number of books in this category.” (Hector Zenil, ACM Computing Reviews, October, 2011)

Algorithmic Randomness and Complexity

"For too long, teaching has been treated as an inscrutable craft, with each practitioner fashioning idiosyncratic practices from intuition and experience. But like all professions, pedagogy can be improved through technology, research, and science. This trio of experts show how to elevate this dark art to an effective and enjoyable practice."&mdash;Steven Pinker, PhD, Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and New York Times bestselling author of How the Mind Works and Enlightenment Now&ldquo;A big step in translating cognitive science and neuroscience into street-level understanding of how learning works. Every teacher, student, and parent will find practical ideas of immediate value.&rdquo;&mdash;Peter C. Brown, coauthor of Make It Stick&ldquo;This book is an absolute must for anyone who cares about education. The brain is geared for learning and adaptation, and this is the definitive set of tools for helping students get the most out of learning. Learning is supposed to be fun&mdash;knowing how to do it in the way your brain is designed to learn is the most fun of all. What a delightful, brilliant book.&rdquo;&mdash;Mayim Bialik, PhD, four-time Emmy nominee for The Big Bang Theory and New York Times bestselling author of Girling Up and Boying Up"This accessible and engaging book will make it easier for teachers to teach and for students to learn. The authors provide the kind of information all prospective teachers should get during their training&mdash;but rarely do."&mdash;Natalie Wexler, author of The Knowledge Gap&ldquo;Learning is about making changes in the brain. This book describes how that happens, why it can be difficult, and how to facilitate more learning in the classroom. Veteran teachers will find explanations for why some of their techniques work and ways to improve them. Newer teachers and parents supporting students at home will find countless practical suggestions to help learners succeed.&rdquo;&mdash;Kristen DiCerbo, PhD, Chief Learning Officer, Khan Academy&ldquo;This is the first neuroscience-based book I&rsquo;ve read that has provided me with a deeper understanding of how the brain functions while learning and specific strategies that should be used while teaching. I recommend it most highly.&rdquo;&mdash;Robert Marzano,&#160;PhD, cofounder of Marzano Resources and author of The New Art and Science of Teaching&ldquo;The authors bring to this   highly practical, user-friendly book a deep understanding of teachers and   classrooms, the implications of neuroscientific findings for successful   teaching and learning, and the ability to write about complex ideas in an   approachable way.&rdquo; &mdash;Carol Ann Tomlinson, EdD, author of How to Differentiate Instruction in   Academically Diverse Classrooms"I can't wait to get this insightful book into the hands of teachers, home educators, and parents. Every kind of learner is honored and helped in this practical handbook on brain function and study habits. Highly recommended!"&mdash;Julie Bogart, author of The Brave Learner&ldquo;A fantastic resource. The authors translate sophisticated brain research into practical insights anyone can apply immediately. A must-read book for educators and students alike."&mdash;Scott H. Young, author of Ultralearning"Informed by neuroscience, leavened with humor, and written with verve and wisdom, Uncommon Sense Teaching is a brilliant new take on the ancient problem of pedagogy. I can&rsquo;t wait to apply its insights to my own teaching&mdash;and my own learning."&mdash;Steven Strogatz, PhD, Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cornell University and author of Infinite Powers&ldquo;The neuroscience-based tools in this book empower educators to make meaningful pivots in teaching practices to increase student success. Foundational reading for educators across the K-12 and higher education spaces.&rdquo;&mdash;Jacqueline El-Sayed, PhD, Chief Academic Officer, American Society for Engineering Education&ldquo;Every educator who reads this book, no matter how long they have been teaching, will take from it a better understanding of the brain and practical strategies to bolster student learning, performance, and well-being.&rdquo;&mdash;James M. Lang, PhD, author of Small Teaching &ldquo;In Uncommon Sense Teaching, the authors do a marvelous job of bridging gaps between teaching, psychology, and neuroscience. As a cognitive scientist and a teacher myself, I found the book full of fascinating research from my field as well as practical strategies I can use in my classroom tomorrow. If you're looking for research-based teaching strategies, with evidence to back them up, Uncommon Sense Teaching is a must-read.&rdquo;&mdash;Pooja K. Agarwal, PhD, coauthor of Powerful Teaching&ldquo;This book translates a wealth of knowledge about cognitive science into action, equipping teachers with a better understanding of the science of learning and offering practical strategies to help students learn.&rdquo; &mdash;Gy&ouml;rgy Buzs&aacute;ki, MD, PhD, The Brain from Inside Out &ldquo;Written by three renowned professors whose different areas of knowledge complement each other quite well, the book masterfully integrates rich knowledge about the brain and cognition with best practices in teaching and learning. Useful for teachers and professors, high school and college students, and for that matter, all curious minds.&rdquo;&mdash;Nelson Cowan, PhD, Curators Distinguished Professor, University of Missouri - Columbia &ldquo;A superb book. Uncommon Sense Teaching reflects a deep and broad understanding of the underlying science of learning. It explains ideas and findings clearly, with excellent examples. Both novices and experts will enjoy reading this book and will inevitably learn from it.&rdquo;&#160;&#160;&mdash;Michael Ullman, PhD, Professor of Neuroscience, Georgetown University&ldquo;A spritely, pitch-perfect translation of neuroscience and learning science research into practical, usable strategies for the classroom. You&rsquo;ll learn why your students&rsquo; brains forget, procrastinate, or self-sabotage&mdash;and perhaps most importantly, how to help them succeed.&rdquo; &mdash;Alex Sarlin, director of learning engineering at 2U
