Book Description
This literary work of non-fiction is based on the author's personal journeys alone. He backpacked to the coasts of the country, across the American continent, to London, England, Paris, France and Schwarzwald, Germany. And also to Andalusia, Spain, and Siberia, Russia. Above all, he cannot forget the simple-hearted pilgrimage to Siberia on the Trans-Siberian Railway. He journeyed alone, sometimes meditating on writing, and sometimes on the journey itself. He saw and felt flamenco through his journey into Andalusia, and stepped on the snow-covered birch forest in Siberia that he longed for. Writing this book, JOURNEY INTO DEEP LANSCAPES, he recalled a few of words of Annie Dillard: “Write about winter in summer. Describe Norway as Ibsen did, from a desk in Italy.” Lastly, he lived at home in seclusion and went on an inner journey with picture books. His long journey, like the flow of a deep river, was the source of inspiration for his writing. In a sense, writing was a kind of journey for him. This creative nonfiction deviates somewhat from the general novel structure. However, the flow of the entire text is consistent and organic. So, whether you may take it as a creative non-fiction or as a collection of f personal essays. It’s up to you.

On the Narrow Road to the Deep North
Author: Lesley Chan Downer
Publisher: Eland Publishing
ISBN: 9781780602301
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
After eight years working in Japan, immersing herself in its language and literature, Lesley Chan Downer set off in the footsteps of Matsuo Basho, Japan's most cherished poet, to explore the country's remote northern provinces. Basho's pilgrimage to find the landscapes that had inspired the great medieval poets gave birth to Japan's most famous travel book, rich in strange imagery and sometimes comic encounters along the road. In this intriguing cross-threading of journeys, perceptions and exquisite haiku, Lesley creates her own funny, loving and honest portrayal of contemporary Japan. As she walks, she finds at one and the same time a drab post-industrial landscape of concrete and cable, but also a land still full of the old enchantments. Nights in thatched highland villages and sake-drenched poetry sessions encourage her to see for herself if any of the legendary hermit-priests still survive in the sacred mountains of the north.

Publisher: Tapomoy Adhikari
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 57
Book Description
"Foundations of Deep Learning" offers an erudite exploration into the dynamic landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning, authored by Tapomoy Adhikari, an autonomous researcher in the field of Computer Science and Engineering. This scholarly work provides a comprehensive resource suitable for individuals at various stages of expertise, ranging from neophytes to seasoned practitioners within the domain of neural networks. Commencing with an introductory exposition, the book elucidates fundamental principles integral to deep learning. Subsequently, it undertakes a rigorous examination of neural network architectures, elucidating their constituent elements, activation functions, and optimization methodologies. The discourse extends to encompass the intricate mechanisms of backpropagation, a cornerstone process in neural network training. Further chapters delve deeply into Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), elucidating their pivotal roles across diverse applications such as computer vision and natural language processing. Noteworthy concepts explored include Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Attention Mechanisms, and Transfer Learning, furnishing readers with a comprehensive toolkit to address real-world challenges. In light of burgeoning ethical concerns within the AI landscape, the book offers nuanced insights into ethical considerations pertinent to deep learning. Emphasis is placed on responsible AI model development and its societal implications. The discourse extends to encompass the domain of Natural Language Processing (NLP) integrated with deep learning, elucidating concepts such as word embeddings and sequence-to-sequence models, alongside the transformative potential of attention mechanisms. Deep Reinforcement Learning, a pivotal paradigm underpinning gaming AI and autonomous systems, undergoes meticulous scrutiny, equipping readers with the requisite knowledge to navigate this burgeoning field. As the narrative culminates, readers are prompted to contemplate the future trajectory of deep learning, exploring themes such as neuro-symbolic integration, the potential impact of quantum computing, and the ethical imperatives guiding AI development. "Foundations of Deep Learning" transcends mere instructional discourse, serving as a scholarly compendium elucidating the inner workings of AI architectures shaping contemporary society. Augmented with code snippets, diagrams, and illustrative case studies, this academic endeavor facilitates a practical and accessible understanding of complex concepts. Irrespective of readers' academic or professional affiliations, be it as students, researchers, or engineers, this scholarly treatise equips them with the requisite knowledge and methodologies to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of neural networks.

Wilderness periods of our lives—those dry and desperate seasons when God seems distant and detached, perhaps even indifferent or impotent—can seem an abnormal and painful part of our lives that simply must be painfully plodded through and somehow endured. Yet, far from being something abnormal and life-threatening, like a cancer invading our bodies, wilderness periods represent a fundamental element of our life in the Spirit and part of God’s well-orchestrated plan to guarantee that we become and possess everything he desires for us.

Book Description
These timeless insights, recorded several thousands of years ago, declare the oneness of not only the human beings – irrespective of cast, religion, gender, race, but also the entire animate and inanimate world.

At the same time, Upanishads don’t advocate abandonment of worldly life. They advise that “one should aspire to live on for full hundred years, enjoying the world; while keeping in mind the oneness of all. So enjoy, but without over indulgence; Acquire wealth, but without snatching someone else’s rightful share. At the same time, keep doing your duty”. In a time, riddled with mutual distrust, hatred, violence, and narrow identities, what could be a more apt message than the one given by these Upanishads?! This book provides a wonderful insight into the profound wisdom of these ancient texts that make lot of sense in the world we are in today.
