In her father's Peruvian family, the author was taught to be a proper lady, yet in her mother's American family she learned to shoot a gun, break a horse, and snap a chicken's neck for dinner. Arana shuttled easily between these deeply separate cultures for years. But only when she immigrated with her family to the United States did she come to understand that she was a hybrid American whose cultural identity was split in half. Coming to terms with this split is at the heart of this graceful, beautifully realized portrait of a child who was a north-south collision, a New World fusion. An American Chica. Here are two vastly different landscapes: Peru - earthquake-prone, charged with ghosts of history and mythology - and the sprawling prairie lands of Wyoming. In these rich terrains resides a colorful cast of family members who bring Arana's historia to life. Her proud grandfather who one day simply stopped coming down the stairs; her dazzling grandmother, clicking through the house as if she were making her way onstage. But most important are Arana's parents: he a brilliant engineer, she a gifted musician. For more than half a century these two passionate, strong-willed people struggled to overcome the bicultural tensions in their marriage and, finally, to prevail.…

Olive Ann Burns (July 17, 1924 - July 4, 1990) was an American writer from Georgia best known for her single completed novel, Cold Sassy Tree, published in 1984. Burns worked for the Atlanta Journal and wrote under the pseudonym "Amy Larkin". She married Andy Sparks, a fellow journalist. In 1971 Burns began writing down family stories as dictated by her parents. In 1975 she was diagnosed with lymphoma and began to change the family stories into a novel that would later become Cold Sassy Tree. The novel was finally published eight years after it was begun, in 1984. Burns received so many letters pleading for a follow-up novel that she began writing Leaving Cold Sassy. Burns died of heart failure in 1990, at age 65, in a hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, before finishing the manuscript, and the uncompleted novel was published in 1992 along with her notes. Cold Sassy Tree is a 1984 historical novel by Olive Ann Burns. Set in the U.S. state of Georgia in the fictional town of Cold Sassy (based on the real city of Harmony Grove, now Commerce) in 1906, it follows the life of a 14-year-old boy named Will Tweedy, and explores themes such as religion, death, and social taboos. On July 5, 1906, Enoch Rucker Blakeslee announces that he intends to marry Miss Love Simpson, a milliner at his store who is years younger than he. This news shocks his family, since his wife Mattie Lou died only three weeks earlier. Rucker's daughters, Mary Willis and Loma, worry about what the gossips of Cold Sassy will think of their father's impropriety. Will Tweedy, Rucker's 14-year-old grandson and the novel's narrator, supports his grandfather's marriage. He thinks Miss Love is nice and pretty, although she comes from Baltimore and therefore is practically a Yankee. On the afternoon of Rucker and Miss Love's elopement, Will sneaks off to go fishing in the country, despite the fact that he is supposed to be in mourning for his grandmother. He walks across a high, narrow train trestle and nearly dies when a train speeds toward him. He survives by lying flat between the tracks so the train passes just overhead without touching him. Will becomes a sensation after his near-death experience, and the whole town comes to his house to ask him about the incident. The people of Cold Sassy disapprove of Rucker's marriage, and rumors spread quickly in the small town, but Will spends much time at the Blakeslee home and becomes friends with Miss Love. He likes her candid opinions and open personality. He soon learns that it's a marriage of convenience and that Rucker and Miss Love sleep in separate rooms. Miss Love tells Will that she married Rucker only because he promised to deed her the house and furniture. And Rucker married Miss Love to save on the cost of a housekeeper. Eventually, Miss Love and Rucker fall deeply in love. A pair of thieves rob and beat Rucker.; he recovers from his injuries, but catches pneumonia. As he lies sick in bed, Will overhears him tell Miss Love that God provides strength and comfort to the faithful in times of trouble. Miss Love tells Will that she's pregnant, although Rucker doesn't know. Rucker dies, but his message of faith in God gives Will strength to cope. Though the town and Will's family don't accept Miss Love, she knows they'll accept her child, so she plans to stay in Cold Sassy. The novel was adapted into a TV movie in 1989, starring Richard Widmark, Faye Dunaway, and Neil Patrick Harris. In 2000, the American composer Carlisle Floyd wrote an opera based on the book.…

Amir Dan Aczel (November 6, 1950 November 26, 2015) was an Israeli-born American lecturer in mathematics and the history of mathematics and science, and an author. When Aczel was 21, he studied at the University of California, Berkeley. He graduated with a BA in mathematics in 1975 and received a Master of Science in 1976. Several years later Aczel earned a Ph.D. in statistics from the University of Oregon. Aczel taught mathematics at universities in California, Alaska, Massachusetts, Italy and Greece. He accepted a professorship at Bentley College in Massachusetts, where he taught classes on statistics and the history of science and history of mathematics. He authored two textbooks on statistics. While teaching at Bentley, Aczel wrote several non-technical books on mathematics and science, as well as two textbooks. His book Fermat's Last Theorem was a United States bestseller and was nominated for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Aczel appeared on CNN, CNBC, The History Channel and Nightline. Aczel was a 2004 Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, a visiting scholar in the History of Science at Harvard University (2007), and was awarded a Sloan Foundation grant to research his book Finding Zero (2015). In 2003, he became a research fellow at the Boston University Center for Philosophy and History of Science. He was a speaker at La Ciudad de las Ideas in, Puebla, Mexico, in 2008 and 2011. He died in Nîmes, France in 2015 from cancer. Over three hundred years ago, a French scholar scribbled a simple theorem in the margin of a book. It would become the world's most baffling mathematical mystery. Simple, elegant, and utterly impossible to prove, Fermat's Last Theorem captured the imaginations of amateur and professional mathematicians for over three centuries. For some it became a wonderful passion. For others it was an obsession that led to deceit, intrigue, or insanity. In a volume filled with the clues, red herrings, and suspense of a mystery novel, Dr. Amir Aczel reveals the previously untold story of the people, the history, and the cultures that lie behind this scientific triumph. From formulas devised for the farmers of ancient Babylonia to the dramatic proof of Fermat's theorem in 1993, this extraordinary work takes us along on an exhilarating intellectual treasure hunt. Revealing the hidden mathematical order of the natural world in everything from stars to sunflowers, Fermat's Last Theorem brilliantly combines philosophy and hard science with investigative journalism. The result: a real-life detective story of the intellect, at once intriguing, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down. Derived from a Kirkus review: For more than three centuries, Fermat's Last Theorem was the most famous unsolved problem in mathematics; here's the story of how it was solved. To begin with, Aczel sketches the essential problem: to prove that the deceptively simple equation A x + B x = C x does not hold true except where x=2. Pierre de Fermat, one of the most prolific mathematicians of the 17th century, formulated the problem in a marginal note to a mathematics text, claiming to have proved it. But he never published a proof, and later mathematicians failed to find a comprehensive proof. After laying the groundwork for an understanding of the basic concept, Aczel jumps back in time to the Babylonian era, when the foundations of mathematics were just being discovered. We follow the history of mathematics through various steps, growing ever closer to the time of Fermat. Aczel makes a special point of showing how mathematics continually builds upon the discoveries of earlier scholars, and he gives a lively sense of the personalities of the great mathematicians of the past. He does not overload the reader with equations and other mathematical expressions but gives enough to indicate the complexity of the concepts at issue. The modern assault on the problem began with an obscure Japanese conference on algebraic number theory in 1955. Two of the participants, Y. Taniyama and G. Shimura, offered a conjecture that an American theorist, Ken Ribet, recognized as equivalent to Fermat's theorem; if the one could be proven, the other would follow. It fell to Andrew Wiles, of Princeton, to connect the two after seven years of secret research. His dramatic announcement of the solution in 1993 was followed by the discovery of a flaw, which he retired to his study to repair, eventually publishing a perfected proof of the theorem. An excellent short history of mathematics, viewed through the lens of one of its great problems--and achievements.…
