understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
Browsing in a large library, I started reading a collection of stories about Hollywood. One involved Irving Thalberg, who inspired Fitzgerald's "The Last Tycoon." I decided to check out the Hollywood book. To do so I had to walk to a different part of the library. Sitting at the top of a pile of books on a table behind the librarian was "The Last Tycoon."
