This book presents an edition of a previously unpublished notebook used by the seventeenth-century polymath John Wallis to teach language to the 'deaf mute' Alexander Popham. Under the terms of the law Popham would not have been able to inherit his family title and property if he had remained unable to speak. This is one of the most famous cases in the history of deaf education. The notebook, which has recently come to light in the Popham family mansion, provides fascinating insights into the details of the instruction. It is a rare example of a manual tailor-made for the instruction of a known individual and its author is one of the foremost scientists of the period. If it had not been lost the work would have been a key document in the dispute between John Wallis and William Holder, both distinguished fellows of the Royal Society, on whose method had been successful in teaching Popham to speak. The Popham Notebook provides essential evidence towards the resolution of a debate that has been widely discussed ever since.David Cram and Jaap Maat place the work in its personal, social, and scientific contexts. They include a range of additional contemporary texts and provide a clear text with helpful annotations. The edition provides the means for a thorough reassessment of the work's contemporary value. Their introduction also includes a discussion of the theoretical issues underpinning the teaching of language to the deaf.

The book is the first English translation of John Wallis's Arithmetica Infinitorum (1656), a key text on the seventeenth-century development of the calculus. Accompanied with annotations and an introductory essay, the translation makes Wallis's work fully available for the first time to modern readers. It shows how Wallis drew on some of the most important new ideas from the preceding twenty years, and took them forward to lay the foundations on which Newton was to build. Above all, the book displays the crucial mid-seventeenth-century shift from geometry to arithmetic and algebra as the primary language of mathematics.

"After Claire" is an ambitious, suspense-filled novel that taps into the gritty heart of psychotherapy. By adding a psychological twist to the standard crime genre, author John Wallis takes readers on a unique, page-turning journey.

Alarmed and confused, Paul runs a red light – resulting in an accident that kills Claire. As Paul tries to resume his life as a psychotherapist and father to nine-year--old Allie, he finds that nothing will ever be the same - especially after Allie finds out just how her mother died.Paul eventually begins to work with a new psychotherapy patient, Angela. Especially because his personal life is so compromised, Paul is powerfully motivated to help Angela, who wants to break off her relationship with a much older, drug cartel-connected lover, Carlos. Carlos shows up at Paul''s office and reels off where his daughter, Allie goes to school, who her teachers are, and asks how she''s doing since her mom died. Paul understands this to be a threat to harm Allie if he doesn''t terminate his work with Angela. Paul continues to work with Angela, but then Carlos makes Paul an offer he can''t refuse – take him on as a patient, or Carlos will have Paul''s legs broken. After working a brief time with Carlos, whom he both loathes and fears, Paul quits his psychotherapy practice altogether to become a life-coach on a cruise line. Six years later, Angela shows up on one of Paul''s cruises wanting to resume their work. Shortly after, Allie goes missing. A crime-filled thriller filled with elements of psychology; this is a must-read for fans of fiction!

In 1977 on the streets of Miami, teenage runaway Grant Nichols tries to sell a dime bag of marijuana to a crew associated with the Cali drug cartel. The leader of the crew, impressed by Grant''s spunk, invites him to join the cartel, where he eventually becomes a mole in the Miami-Dade Police Department. Then after the demise of the cartel in the 1990''s, Grant becomes an honest cop and devoted father to his son, Mark. Twenty years later, his old cartel boss asks him to destroy evidence in a criminal case that threatens to expose them both, and Grant must now walk a shaky tightrope between his old life and new. The tightrope breaks when Mark, trying to get to the bottom of a recurring nightmare, recalls in therapy the fishing trip during which his father killed a man. Mark''s pursuit of the truth of this memory ruptures his previously close relationship with his father and puts both their lives in danger. After an attempt is made on Mark''s life, Grant risks everything to save his son—all the while hoping Mark never learns the identity of the man he killed that early morning on Lake Sunrise.
