Interesting visit with my old boss/friend today, he mentioned some books of interest, and while looking for them I discovered yet another book.
https://www.amazon.com/Joy-Abstraction-Exploration-Category-Theory/dp/1108477224 Eugenia Cheng, The Joy of Abstraction: An Exploration of Math, Category Theory, and Life, published October 2022. A presentation of category theory that keeps the underlying algebra basic. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0195171276/ Hasok Chang, Inventing Temperature: Measurement and Scientific Progress An itemized history of temperature and all the wrong turns taken along the way, more detail than even the author cares to read again. Poetic justice to examine the operation of the pragmatist's ratchet and pawl over the centuries as it rescues workable definitions of temperature from thermal confusion. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BG8XX7MM Hasok Chang, Realism for Realistic People: A New Pragmatist Philosophy of Science, available on kindle on November 30, 2022. -- rec --
