Book review:
Why We Fight: The Roots of War
and the Paths to Peace
‘Why We Fight’ describes how despite sensationalist headlines, conflict is rare. The author is a field economist, so, much of the writing is based on examples in the real world. The concepts are all easy to understand and the analysis is framed within the context of non cooperative game theory. For those familiar with the subject there is little new in this book, but the examples given highlight in the real world how calculations get made. Most of the analysis is on subjects like gangs and territorial conflicts but it can be viewed in a larger context.

I. In “AI could provide a better experience” (l. 08), the word “better” is the superlative form of the irregular adjective “good”.
II. In “One of the world’s top 10 most stressful jobs” (l. 11), “most stressful” is a superlative structure and “most” is used because “stressful” is a long adjective.
III. In “It provides faster, more efficient service” (l. 21-22) there are two comparative structures. We add -er to the short adjective “fast”, and “more” to “efficient” because it is an irregular adjective.
Which ones are correct?

In the quest for technological advancements that can revolutionize our world, the scientific community has always been captivated by the elusive phenomenon of superconductivity. For decades, researchers have strived to unlock its full potential, seeking to discover materials that can exhibit superconducting properties at room temperature. And now, the wait might finally be over! Enter LK-99, a groundbreaking potential room-temperature superconductor that has sent shockwaves through the scientific world, spearheaded by a team of brilliant minds from Korea University, led by esteemed researchers Sukbae Lee and Ji-Hoon Kim.
Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance, leading to unprecedented energy efficiency and technological advancements. In summary, LK-99 represents an exciting prospect as a potential room-temperature superconductor, but its superconducting properties have yet to be confirmed and independently verified.
Room temperature superconductors could revolutionize the energy sector by enabling lossless power transmission over long distances. With reduced energy dissipation during transmission, electricity could be distributed more efficiently, lowering carbon footprints and electricity costs.
