Zombie Spaceship Wasteland
Author: Patton Oswalt
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439156271
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Prepare yourself for a journey through the world of Patton Oswalt, one of the most creative, insightful, and hysterical voices on the entertainment scene today. Widely known for his roles in the films Big Fan and Ratatouille, as well as the television hit The King of Queens, Patton Oswalt—a staple of Comedy Central—has been amusing audiences for decades. Now, with Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, he offers a fascinating look into his most unusual, and lovable, mindscape. Oswalt combines memoir with uproarious humor, from snow forts to Dungeons & Dragons to gifts from Grandma that had to be explained. He remembers his teen summers spent working in a movie Cineplex and his early years doing stand-up. Readers are also treated to several graphic elements, including a vampire tale for the rest of us and some greeting cards with a special touch. Then there’s the book’s centerpiece, which posits that before all young creative minds have anything to write about, they will home in on one of three story lines: zombies, spaceships, or wastelands. Oswalt chose wastelands, and ever since he has been mining our society’s wasteland for perversion and excess, pop culture and fatty foods, indie rock and single-malt scotch. Zombie Spaceship Wasteland is an inventive account of the evolution of Patton Oswalt’s wildly insightful worldview, sure to indulge his legion of fans and lure many new admirers to his very entertaining “wasteland.”

If you love the mission of science fiction, the interchange between cultures, the hopeful and inexorable trajectory of technology and ideas, you'll love this anthology of new stories from Chinese and English-language writers. An impressive joint project, this outstanding new anthology brings the best of Chinese and English-language science fiction in a mediation on the theme of Exploration in Space. New, emerging, established and much-lauded writers from both cultures are brought together to demonstrate that technology and humanity when they work together bring challenges, joy and benefits to all of humankind. From Bao Shu comes 'A Trip to the End', from Allen Stroud 'The First', from He Xi 'Never Meet Again in Life', from Amdi Silvestri 'A Minuet of Corpses' and under the guiding eye of Patrick Parrinder (President of the H.G.

Conway's Game of Life
Author: Nathaniel Johnston
Publisher: Nathaniel Johnston
ISBN: 1794816968
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
Dead cells with three live neighbors are born, while live cells with fewer than two or more than three live neighbors die. These simple rules define Conway's Game of Life, which exhibits complex and unpredictable behavior that has been studied for over 50 years. This book provides a thorough introduction to the Game of Life, the mathematics behind it, and the methods used to construct many of its most interesting patterns. It emphasizes conceptual techniques for constructing patterns that evolve in unusual ways, and guides the reader through the thought processes and ideas that are needed to combine various building blocks into more interesting composite patterns. While this book largely follows the history of the Game of Life, that is not its primary purpose. Rather, it is a by-product of the fact that most recently discovered patterns build upon patterns and techniques that were developed earlier. The goal of this book is to demystify the Game of Life by breaking down the complex patterns that have been developed in it into bite-size chunks that can be understood individually.

Spaceship Underground
Author: METIN SAHIN
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1669891070
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
Scientists, especially those interested in natural sciences, have discovered many elements. Today's science and technology has also improved itself with the use of these elements. However, there are definitely very different elements on other planets, star systems and even universes. If these can be achieved, then we will encounter phenomena such as a living creature being able to walk to the moon. The atoms of the elements themselves are "smart" to some extent. If there was no such controllable structure, then science and technology would not be able to go beyond social sciences. However, as mentioned above, very different "smart elements" in very different environments will open the door to many different and currently unknown applications for creatures that can think intelligently. It is inevitable that it should be like this or that it should be like this. Just as nature and everything in nature is aging, the aging of science and technology means that it is moving forward. Science and technology can also control themselves. (This does not mean the task or job of a robot.) With time travel, science and technology will gain a different value and become the most superior living creature created by God. What will achieve this is the work to be done using intelligent and thinking creatures (human beings).

The Relativity of the Observer and the Gravity
Author: Karl-Herbert Darmer
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3756261816
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
The book describes in a very unconventional way the role of man as an observer in the universe that surrounds us. Many physical phenomena are described from an unfamiliar point of view. These include wave-particle duality of light, the speed of light, why are space and time relative, what does reality mean, what are reference systems, what do the Lorentz transformations link, without necessarily having to deal with mathematics. The book should be of interest to anyone who considers himself an observer. It doesn't matter what he wants to watch. It is about the principles that arise when observing. What can generally be regarded as secured. Unfortunately, that's not much, because in order to draw conclusions from what has been secured, you have to make assumptions. These do not have to be correct and results that are logically incompatible with these assumptions are excluded from the outset by these assumptions. If one is willing to break away from some of these assumptions, possible solutions could arise for puzzling observations in the sky.

Author: Avshalom C. Elitzur
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540266690
Category : Science

Pages : 426
Book Description
Each contribution is an article in itself, and great effort has been made by the authors to be lucid and not too technical. A few brief highlights of the round-table discussions are given between the chapters. Topics include: Quantum non-locality, the measurement problem, quantum insights into relativity, cosmology and thermodynamics, and possible bearings of quantum mechanics to biology and consciousness. Authors include Yakir Aharanov and Anton Zeilinger, plus Nobel laureates Anthony J. Leggett (2003) and Gerardus ‘t Hooft (1999). Foreword written by Sir Roger Penrose, best-selling author (The Emperor's New Mind) and world-renowned mathematical physicist.
