I see that as a plus for the western reader. The characters do not look like white westerners, nor do they think like white westerners. The world the game introduces is imaginative and entertaining. A virtual reality in the form of a game played by one of the main characters, becomes a key to solving the mystery. The story unfolds with tension, there is a mystery to be solved and the complicated physics concepts embedded in the tale are true science. What ought I say about this epic tale?

The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu The Three Body Problem "We walked through the relevant procedures and protocol with the FIA representatives in detail and required them to take immediate steps to reconsider these procedures and protocols with the relevant stakeholders (including FOM, the teams and the FIA) to ensure that this situation does not occur again. "We stressed that the requirements of ensuring a safe and orderly event are paramount. We considered that it was fortunate that there were no serious consequences on account of what happened today. "However, in this case, there was one driver that had to pit in the last lap and this created a very dangerous situation for those that were in the pit lane at the time.

He has learned many of the lessons in this book the hard way, from his own mistakes and from errors his doctors made in treating his own debilitating medical problems. Groopman draws on a wealth of research, extensive interviews with some of the country's best physicians, and his own experiences as a doctor and as a patient. This book is the first to describe in detail the warning signs of erroneous medical thinking, offering direct, intelligent questions patients can ask their doctors to help them get back on track. He explores why doctors err and shows when and how they can-with our help-avoid snap judgments, embrace uncertainty, communicate effectively, and deploy other skills that can have a profound impact on our health. In this myth-shattering book, Jerome Groopman pinpoints the forces and thought processes behind the decisions doctors make. Often, decisions made this way are correct, but at crucial moments they can also be wrong-with catastrophic consequences. In that short time, many doctors decide on the likely diagnosis and best treatment. On average, a physician will interrupt a patient describing her symptoms within eighteen seconds.
