Book Description
This book is about the importance of random phenomena occurring in nature. Cases are selected in which randomness is most important or crucial, such as Brownian motion, certain reactions in Physical Chemistry and Biology, and intermittency in magnetic field generation by turbulent fluid motion, etc. Due to ?almighty chance? the structures can originate from chaos even in linear problems. This idea is complementary as well as competes with a basic concept of synergetics where structures appear mainly due to the pan-linear nature of phenomena. This book takes a new look at the problem of structure formation in random media, qualitative physical representation of modern conceptions, intermittency, fractals, percolation and many examples from different fields of science.

Almighty Me
Author: Robert Bausch
Publisher: Speaking Volumes
ISBN: 1645400263
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
What do you do when you're granted Gods power for a whole year—no strings attached—by an urbane, bald-headed heavenly messenger named Chet? That's the question facing Charlie Wiggins, the hapless car salesman who chronicles his run-in with omnipotence in the outrageous, wickedly funny Almighty Me. Author Robert Bausch aims his inspired social satire at men and women, love and marriage, and he hits the comic mark full center. Endearing and dark, side-splitting and thought-provoking, Almighty Me probes the nature of our earthly perplexities as it celebrates the loving and fallible human heart. Charlie Wiggins is not very different from you and me. To do good in the world is his first inclination, but doing good is harder than it looks, because Charlie can't seem to focus on anything but his own crumbling marriage. With the power of God, it’s easy enough to make himself the star salesman at the dealership, or to cure his boss's embarrassing speech problem, or even to bring his mother-in-law back from the dead. But to turn his adored wife, Dorothy, away from her determined quest for independence? That's where this befuddled acting deity discovers that omnipotence has its limitations. "In the face of that conscious choice to strive for what she needed,' my 'power' seemed helpless. Either it was not adequate—and God's power is tremendously overrated—or women have unbelievable strength, and even God pales in the face of a woman's will." Only a guided tour of heaven convinces Charlie that it’s time to deal with the world at large. To his horror, he learns the chilling answer to his question "Why me?" and decides to confront his cosmic responsibilities. When he does, both Dorothy and God himself are in for a big surprise.
