"Our lead piece tells the story of how mathematics helped to make the modern
world. Geometry gave us perspective in painting and drawing. Algebra gave us
triangulation and measurements of the world. And the mathematic mentality also
gave us industrial machinery – steam engines, trains, machine tools, and
factories.
The issue also includes essays on:
* The story of upzoning in New Zealand, which recently passed one of the
world’s most ambitious housing policies, but is now be at risk;
* Science’s sleeping beauties, papers that are ignored for decades before
becoming widely-cited. Sometimes this is a quirk of citation, but other times
they reveal the hidden knowledge buried within the scientific literature;
* Tapping the heat of the earth’s core to harness clean, reliable power;
* The cocktail revolution of the past thirty years;
* Asbestos, which held so much promise, before we discovered its darker side;
and
* How warfare between European states might have improved their governance over
the centuries."
