The Hiduke House White Paper Books have everything great books have, except the word count. Each one has a big idea, fun title, practical model, intriguing anecdotes, inspirations from science, art, and business, and many original and powerful applications.
I may write some of these scientific mind, artistic heart ideas as actual books one day, but for now, I share them in this simple working white paper summary form to be useful to you. Happy short reading!
