Book Description
He lives in the shadows all his life. Invisible, yet observant, staring at the greyness, trying to unravel an un-unravelable web for meaning, for information that his master so impatiently seeks, that his nation so desperately needs. Beyond the visible frontiers of the nation, there exists a realm that is invisible to many. A realm that is defended by very special warriors, The Intelligence officers. Sneaky and shadowy, these officers remain engaged in a constant battle to outfox the enemy. The defense of this realm determines the nation’s capability to thwart subversive threats. Threats that can compromise national security to the point of toppling governments or losing territory. It could mean the allegiance of a region or a section of people being lost to the enemy, or even the death of democracy itself! What are the unseen dangers that our nation faces today and how does our Intelligence agency match up to the challenge? How do we unleash the full power of Intelligence, of Knowing?

The Wild Fox of Yemen
Author: Threa Almontaser
Publisher: Graywolf Press
ISBN: 1644451468
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Winner of the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets, selected by Harryette Mullen By turns aggressively reckless and fiercely protective, always guided by faith and ancestry, Threa Almontaser’s incendiary debut asks how mistranslation can be a form of self-knowledge and survival. A love letter to the country and people of Yemen, a portrait of young Muslim womanhood in New York after 9/11, and an extraordinarily composed examination of what it means to carry in the body the echoes of what came before, Almontaser’s polyvocal collection sneaks artifacts to and from worlds, repurposing language and adapting to the space between cultures. Half-crunk and hungry, speakers move with the force of what cannot be contained by the limits of the American imagination, and instead invest in troublemaking and trickery, navigate imperial violence across multiple accents and anthems, and apply gang signs in henna, utilizing any means necessary to form a semblance of home. In doing so, The Wild Fox of Yemen fearlessly rides the tension between carnality and tenderness in the unruly human spirit.

Refiguring Life
Author: Evelyn Fox Keller
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 9780231102056
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Refiguring Life begins with the history of genetics and embryology, showing how discipline-based metaphors have directed scientists' search for evidence. Keller continues with an exploration of the border traffic between biology and physics, focusing on the question of life and the law of increasing entropy. In a final section she traces the impact of new metaphors, born of the computer revolution, on the course of biological research. Keller shows how these metaphors began as objects of contestation between competing visions of the life sciences, how they came to be recast and appropriated by already established research agendas, and how in the process they ultimately came to subvert those same agendas. Refiguring Life explains how the metaphors and machinery of research are not merely the products of scientific discovery but actually work together to map out the territory along which new metaphors and machines can be constructed. Through their dynamic interaction, Keller points out, they define the realm of the possible in science. Drawing on a remarkable spectrum of theoretical work ranging from Schroedinger to French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, Refiguring Life fuses issues already prominent in the humanities and social sciences with those in the physical and natural sciences, transgressing disciplinary boundaries to offer a broad view of the natural sciences as a whole. Moving gracefully from genetics to embryology, from physics to biology, from cyberscience to molecular biology, Evelyn Fox Keller demonstrates that scientific inquiry cannot pretend to stand apart from the issues and concerns of the larger society in which it exists.
