The Beginning of Heaven and Earth Has No Name
Author: Heinz von Foerster
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 082325562X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
Heinz von Foerster was the inventor of second-order cybernetics, which recognizes the investigator as part of the system he is investigating. The Beginning of Heaven and Earth Has No Name provides an accessible, nonmathematical, and comprehensive overview of von Foerster’s cybernetic ideas and of the philosophy latent within them. It distills concepts scattered across the lifework of this scientific polymath and influential interdisciplinarian. At the same time, as a book-length interview, it does justice to von Foerster’s élan as a speaker and improviser, his skill as a raconteur. Developed from a week-long conversation between the editors and von Foerster near the end of his life, this work playfully engages von Foerster in developing the difference his notion of second-order cybernetics makes for topics ranging from emergence, life, order, and thermodynamics to observation, recursion, cognition, perception, memory, and communication. The book gives an English-speaking audience a new ease of access to the rich thought and generous spirit of this remarkable and protean thinker.

Heaven's War
Author: Scott Jones
Publisher: WaterBrook
ISBN: 0307779971
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
During the Six-Day War in 1967, Bethlehem and east Jerusalem were captured by the Israelis, and sovereign dominion of the holy city returned to the Jews for the first time in over two thousand years. At that time, a Dead Sea artifact, the Temple Scroll, was confiscated by the Israeli government. None of the Dead Sea Scrolls have surfaced in any official quarter since. Andrei Vartanyan is a ruthless, special intelligence operative for the former Soviet Union who has a reputation for getting what he wants at any cost. Vartanyan is hot on the trail of a lost scroll, rumored to hold the key to unlocking the secrets of 64 hidden treasure sites described in the famous Copper Scroll. And he'll stop at nothing--not even murder--to get it. Jack Calumet is one of the most proficient operatives the CIA has ever fielded. Calumet has gone up against Vartanyan once before, outfoxing him and levying a brilliant disinformation coup against the Russian and his comrades. But in the process, he lost the woman he loved. Now, Jack Calumet wants revenge. But a shocking discovery with worldwide implications makes it clear that there is more to this top secret operation than he ever dreamed. And as the British, the Russians, the Arabs, the Israelis, and even the Vatican join in the chase, the stakes become higher than ever before. A powerful revelation concerning the Word of God and the foundation upon which it is based will stand or fall as Heaven's War reaches its final battle.

From the Depths of Heaven
Author: Zak B. Tjewels
Publisher: Virtualbookworm Publishing
ISBN: 9781589395480
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Thorlainen finds his mundane and generally pointless life disrupted by an apparent galactic catastrophe and is soon on the run from the totalitarian world of Tellus, the non-affluents, like him, have reluctantly submitted to for too long. His first impression is, he is the sole survivor but surviving brings mortal danger. He meets a young affluent woman, Chitmaa, caring for two intelligent children. Thorlainen is a Non-Commercial-Being but Chitmaa believes they must conjugate traditionally. Thorlainen agrees though he can see he is right out of his depth in this relationship and in his understanding of her motives. Normally a solitary character, Thorlainen's acquaintances snowball as they flee, and gradually he takes the lead, assisted by a paradoxical old man and a military officer, escaping execution. Unlike Thorlainen, the others have friends and relatives, who (if they are still live) are at the deportation area awaiting relocation. Thorlainen helps them, and then reluctantly takes command of a ship full of deportees: his nautical expertise becoming paramount, when it becomes evident they must try to escape by sea.
