Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a juggler the author likes to finish his performances with a stunt that combines props and techniques from a variety of juggling disciplines. Imagine him idling on a giraffe unicycle, while balancing a spinning basketball on a mouth stick, and toss-juggling a sword, a toilet plunger, and a rubber chicken. As a mathematician he is also interested in the treasure trove of beautiful mathematics used to model the different activities in a juggler's repertoire. In this book he provides an intellectually stimulating collection of mostly self-contained mathematical essays that introduce the reader to many elegant results and techniques from a wide range of mathematical disciplines such as combinatorics, graph theory, knot theory, mechanics, differential equations, control theory, and robotics. "The Mathematics of Juggling" is the first comprehensive account summarizing and expanding the results in the literature on juggling tricks and skills, as well as the mathematics behind these tricks and skills. Anybody who is not put off by the word "mathematics" in the title of this book should have a good time reading it.

Book excerpt: What do you do when your life feels as busy as a three-ring circus? Juggling Elephants tells a simple but profound story about one man with a universal problem. Mark has too much to do, too many priorities, too much stress, and too little time. As he struggles to balance his many responsibilities without cracking under the pressure, Mark takes a break to attend the circus with his family. There he has a surprising conversation with a wise ringmaster. He leaves with a simple but powerful lesson: Trying to get everything done is like juggling elephants -- impossible. So Mark begins to think about his work, family, and personal life the way a ringmaster thinks about the many acts in a three-ring circus. He discovers that managing his various acts can be fun and easy once he changes his attitude and follows his new friend's ongoing guidance. Mark soon realizes: • If you keep trying to juggle elephants, no one, including you, will be thrilled with your performance. • A ringmaster cannot be in all three rings at once. • The key to the success of a circus is having quality acts in all three rings. • Intermission is an essential part of any good circus. Juggling Elephants is a wonderfully lighthearted guide for everyone who feels like they're about to be squashed. It will help you better focus your time and energy, so you'll be able to enjoy more of the things that are important to you. Above all, it will teach you how to run your circus, instead of letting the circus run you.

Book excerpt: There are a few books on juggling that really bring serious content. Thom Wall's book is one of them: It brings a holistic approach by using solid scientific and historical foundations, by proposing global and modern views, so the reader can not only learn a few good tricks but understand why and how they are related so they can keep improving after reading.This book is packed with a very clear and fun presentation. It is a must-read for any juggler in the making-that is-everybody."- Denis Paumier, Director & Teacher, company Les Objets Volants"This book is the first fully comprehensive manual on juggling. No other books employ siteswap notation, despite it being the primary tool in juggling instruction for the past two decades. There are also no serious books that provide in-depth discussions about posture and mechanics.Thom Wall's practical guide should be the first step in embarking on a practiced juggling career. It uses illustrations, physics, psychology, and other approaches to explain every step. All this makes for a solid exploration that goes beyond simple tricks to thoroughly explain the science and actions behind juggling success, laying a solid foundation for anyone interested in getting on stage."- D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

Book excerpt: This year our flagship title turns the big three-oh but, unlike the rest of us, it keeps getting better looking with age. We’ve spiffed up the outside with a shiny foil cover and reupholstered the juggling cubes in plush red velour. It’s the classic that made all the others possible.

Book excerpt: Judging by the books already available with the words "Plate Spinning" in the title, there is a good chance that you picked this up because you are a working parent trying to balance your home life with a busy career. If so, I can't help you. This book deals with plate spinning in the strictly literal sense. Unless you are interested in spinning ceramic plates on sticks, I won't waste any more of your precious time, save to say, best of luck with the kids and the job. If you are actually interested in spinning actual plates on actual sticks, then this is the book for you (but if you end up struggling to balance your home life with your busy career as a plate spinner, then don't say I didn't warn you).

Book excerpt: "Anchor. Author. Mom." What you don't normally see on television from journalist Molly Grantham is how behind the polished image, she's juggling to keep the balls of life up in the air. The Juggle is Real shines a raw and funny light on the messy realities so many of us face: the constant rotation of whatever's barreling toward us next. Grantham's first book, Small Victories, ended beside her mother's hospice bed. That's where this one begins-seeing the circle of life through her children's eyes. From there, it's a chronicle of ups and downs, including endless arguments over what to wear, emergency surgeries, beloved pets, and the hysterical one-kid parade of her son's battery-operated mini ice-cream truck through busy city streets. All interwoven with Grantham's public and often nutty job. Her honesty will have you crying and laughing out loud at this continuing story of loving kids and a career. "Molly Grantham is real. And her authenticity as a mom and a fallible human being shines through every one of her pages in this compelling collection of parenting essays." - The Huffington Post "Am I brave enough to admit my mothering-fail moments to the world, especially a world in which people are viciously judgmental about other people's parenting? And even more, would I be willing to do that if I worked in an industry where a polished, perfect appearance is part of the job description? I'm not sure. But thank God, Molly is." Kimmery Martin, Author, The Queen of Hearts and The Antidote to Everything "With humor, heart, and a willingness to bare her soul-even when it might seem a little uncomfortable to do so-Molly proves once again that she is gifted at telling tales at motherhood as she is at delivering the news every night." Theoden James, Charlotte Observer "The Juggle is Real deftly captures moments of parenthood and life that are so poignant and beautiful that it stops your heart for a beat."
