Book Description
A single mistake on the Road to River Styx had turned him into a poisoned fetus. Not only did he have to pretend to be a man, but he also had to make a fool of himself by pretending to be a popinjay.Fragment I:Feng Ling looked at the peerless pretty boy that had appeared out of thin air on his bed. He then gulped down his saliva. Two strings of captivating red, which seemed to be bursting out from his nostrils ..."If you touch me, you will definitely live a life worse than death!" The pretty boy was enraged."Oh!" How tasty, grandpa, I like that kind of taste! Someone, bring me my whip! And there's the candles I bought yesterday, so I want to love this little beauty a lot, Bahaha! "Fragment II:In the resplendent dragon palace, on top of the bright red bedsheets, "Let go!" Her phoenix-like eyes were wide open as she looked at the large hand resting on her chest. Her breathing was disorderly."The feel of his hand is not bad. It's just that just playing around doesn't seem to be as fun as it should be!" Long Liu gave an evil smile and took out a whip from his ring."It's been such a long time and you still haven't forgotten?" Feng Ling was about to launch a sneak attack when he was caught off guard, but his attack was blocked off by Long Liu's finger."This king has never been treated in such a way by anyone in my life. How could I forget? Today, everything will be repaid a hundredfold ..." He had kept this whip for this very moment.

A broken pagoda actually contained a world within it. Heaven's Mandate, what was Heaven's Mandate? Was it fate, or fate? Could it be that abandonment of one's Dantian was the so-called destiny? If this were fate, then I would definitely defy the will of the Heavens. If the great Dao did not exist, then I would definitely cause it to awaken, step upon the Heavens, defy the Heavens, and open up ten thousand lives ....

Reel to Reel
Author: Alan Shapiro
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022611077X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
Reel to Reel, Alan Shapiro’s twelfth collection of poetry, moves outward from the intimate spaces of family and romantic life to embrace not only the human realm of politics and culture but also the natural world, and even the outer spaces of the cosmos itself. In language richly nuanced yet accessible, these poems inhabit and explore fundamental questions of existence, such as time, mortality, consciousness, and matter. How did we get here? Why is there something rather than nothing? How do we live fully and lovingly as conscious creatures in an unconscious universe with no ultimate purpose or destination beyond returning to the abyss that spawned us? Shapiro brings his humor, imaginative intensity, characteristic syntactical energy, and generous heart to bear on these ultimate mysteries. In ways few poets have done, he writes from a premodern, primal sense of wonder about our postmodern world.

Simplicius: On Aristotle On the Heavens 1.5-9
Author: Simplicius,
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 147250111X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Aristotle argues in On the Heavens 1.5-7 that there can be no infinitely large body, and in 1.8-9 that there cannot be more than one physical world. As a corollary in 1.9, he infers that there is no place, vacuum or time beyond the outermost stars. As one argument in favour of a single world, he argues that his four elements: earth, air, fire and water, have only one natural destination apiece. Moreover they accelerate as they approach it and acceleration cannot be unlimited. However, the Neoplatonist Simplicius, who wrote the commentary in the sixth century AD (here translated into English), tells us that this whole world view was to be rejected by Strato, the third head of Aristotle's school. At the same time, he tells us the different theories of acceleration in Greek philosophy.

The Sciences of the Artificial, reissue of the third edition with a new introduction by John Laird
Author: Herbert A. Simon
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262537532
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Herbert Simon's classic work on artificial intelligence in the expanded and updated third edition from 1996, with a new introduction by John E. Laird. Herbert Simon's classic and influential The Sciences of the Artificial declares definitively that there can be a science not only of natural phenomena but also of what is artificial. Exploring the commonalities of artificial systems, including economic systems, the business firm, artificial intelligence, complex engineering projects, and social plans, Simon argues that designed systems are a valid field of study, and he proposes a science of design. For this third edition, originally published in 1996, Simon added new material that takes into account advances in cognitive psychology and the science of design while confirming and extending the book's basic thesis: that a physical symbol system has the necessary and sufficient means for intelligent action. Simon won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1978 for his research into the decision-making process within economic organizations and the Turing Award (considered by some the computer science equivalent to the Nobel) with Allen Newell in 1975 for contributions to artificial intelligence, the psychology of human cognition, and list processing. The Sciences of the Artificial distills the essence of Simon's thought accessibly and coherently. This reissue of the third edition makes a pioneering work available to a new audience.
