The Kingfisher Story Collection
(Third edition with additions) This is a collection of short stories centering around the protagonist character, Kingfisher, originally written in Vietnamese. The book aims to introduce international readers to snippets of Vietnamese culture through the ordinary yet humorous life of the bird village. The first 15 of these short stories were published in the Khoảng Lặng (Quiet Moment) column of the Vietnamese magazine Kinh Tế và Dự Báo (Economy and Forecast Review) from 2017 to 2019. However, this is the first time that the collection of all the Kingfisher stories has been published in its entirety, covering stories that have not been published elsewhere, including new stories written during 2023-2024. The stories of Kingfisher are full of humor and satire while also deep in social commentary. I hope that the book brings readers joy and some food for thought, for beyond satire is genuine contemplation of the humanistic values in life. Hanoi, August 21, 2024 Quan-Hoang Vuong (Incld. Artworks by Bui Quang Khiem and Dam Thi Thu Ha)
Meandering Sobriety
(Third edition, with additions) Thinking is a fundamental activity of our species – those that give names to other creatures and call themselves humans. Textbooks tell us that there is about 1.2 kg of matter called the brain inside the human body. It sounds small but actually is proportionally the biggest among all animals on Earth. I became more aware of thinking at around 5th grade upon hearing about an ancient paradox. It can be summarized as follows. ¤ Once upon a time, there was a stupid king. In his kingdom lived a sage who was highly respected for his intelligence. The King did not appreciate this fact. Maybe the Sage made fun of the King’s intellect, but I am not so sure. Anyway...
Wild Wise Weird
(Sixth edition with new stories) This edition adds two new stories and several photos to make the reading experience more pleasant. Wild Wise Weird now has 47 stories featuring the Bird Village and its central protagonist character, Kingfisher. This quirky and eccentric bird helps unveil corners of the Village, simultaneously exciting and unnerving many of its residents. As laws of physics transcend this remote community, a typical resident can be both peace-loving and war-mongering at the same time, the same way as Kingfisher discusses the philosophy of life with the fish inside his beak! Vivid as it is, and will ever be, welcome to the village of strange birds. This collection of satirical...
Bản hòa tấu dữ liệu xã hội
Chúng tôi biên soạn cuốn sách này hướng tới quá trình tự tìm hiểu, sử dụng, và khám phá. Tuy nhiên, có nhiều phần thông tin hiện trạng chưa thực sự đầy đủ, ở nhiều mục sẽ có nhiều điểm quý vị độc giả cần xem phần ‘Tài liệu tham khảo’. Sự thiếu sót này xuất phát từ giới hạn của việc giới thiệu nhiều bài toán bằng một cuốn sách 200 trang. Các bài báo khoa học cung cấp từ 5.000 đến 10.000 chữ để giải quyết một bài toán trọn vẹn. Vì vậy, sự kết hợp giữa cuốn sách và các tài liệu tham khảo là cần thiết cho hành trình tự khám phá cùng bayesvl. Đối với việc sử dụng tài liệu tham khảo, có nhiều tài liệu bằng tiếng Anh nên có thể khiến nhiều độc giả gặp cản trở về ngôn ngữ. Các hạn chế này hy vọng có thể được khắc phục đầy đủ hơn.

Flying Beyond Didacticism: The Creative Environmental Vision of ‘Wild Wise Weird’
Thanh Tu Tran is a Master’s student at Dresden University of Technology studying Forest livelihood and sustainable management. As a Vietnamese student pursuing advanced studies in Europe, she believes she would bring a unique perspective to science bridging traditional ecological knowledge and modern scientific approaches in Southeast Asian forestry.

Bằng chứng cuộc sống
Bằng chứng khoa học từ quan sát thực nghiệm có ý nghĩa quan trọng trong các lập luận của cuốn sách. Dường như việc yêu cầu đầy đủ bằng chứng cho mọi vấn đề cuộc sống là không tưởng, nhưng không nỗ lực đủ trong việc tìm tòi bằng chứng cho những quyết định quan trọng là sai lầm lớn nhất con người có thể mắc phải. Có những bằng chứng phải mất rất lâu, nhiều phương tiện và công sức, con người mới chạm tới. Vì vậy, những bằng chứng dù mới hay cũ, được đặt vào khuôn khổ phân tích phù hợp sẽ giúp làm sáng rõ nhiều câu hỏi,...
A New Theory of Serendipity: Nature, Emergence and Mechanism
When you type the word “serendipity” in a word-processor application such as Microsoft Word, the autocorrection engine suggests you choose other words like “luck” or “fate”. This correcting act turns out to be incorrect. However, it points to the reality that serendipity is not a familiar English word and can be misunderstood easily. Serendipity is a very much scientific concept as it has been found useful in numerous scientific discoveries, pharmaceutical innovations, and numerous humankind’s technical and technological advances. Therefore, there have been many books written around the concept. So why do we need this additional book? This is not just another book about serendi...
