I had the thought that maybe the Australian airline had started a book side business, a la Stripe, but no, the airline is actually Quanta<i>s</i>. Still seems like an imprint to follow.<p><pre><code> Launched by Thomas Lin, the founding editor of Quanta Magazine, in partnership with Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Quanta Books is an editorially independent subsidiary of the Simons Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the frontiers of research in mathematics and the basic sciences. </code></pre> <a href="https://www.quantabooks.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.quantabooks.org/</a>

I might be unusual in the sense that in my teens I absolutely adored Asimov as a writer of non-fiction rather than as a sci-fi author.<p>For the current generation I never miss a chance to mention Gamow's non-fiction.<p>It's unfortunate that works of great non-fiction writers gradually evaporate away from our cultural consciousness after the authors die.<p>It makes me sad to know there will be a generation, or maybe it's already here, one that has not delighted in Martin Gardner.
