If you want every country to have its Leonard Cohen, then Brazil certainly has one in the form of Márcio Faraco. Each one of his songs is exemplary in its finesse, its fragile balance between gentleness and seriousness. What seems like nonchalance and some kind of detachment are just a way of “taking the ear in” thought up by an artist who excels in the art of the sketch. Tenderness, respect for others and a quiet sense of reserve are the marks of Márcio Faraco’s distinctive style, one free of pathos but with traces of his illustrious influences, João Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes.

"Referring to Billie Holiday (1915-1959) as the iconic female jazz singer, an independent scholar/biographer examines her contributions to the genre as well as the legendary aspects of her short, troubled life.

Who would have thought a mathematical constant would make such an engaging character? God's Equation: Einstein, Relativity, and the Expanding Universe, mathematician Amir Aczel's tale of the search for a scientific explanation of the universe, features the cosmological constant in a role as complex as Einstein's. The great genius referred to it as his "greatest blunder," but recent events in the world of astrophysics have brought the prodigal term back into the fold as an important part of his field equation. Aczel is a powerful storyteller, and makes no secret of his admiration for Einstein; much of the book revolves around his conquest of general relativity. Integrating relativity with gravitation was no easy task (even for Einstein), but the author deftly steers the reader away from the sticky stuff and focuses attention on concepts of importance.
