Book Description
Fifty thousand years in the future the universe begins to collapse prematurely. Despite having advanced technology the only viable options to survive the end of the universe come down to creating a Dyson Sphere enclosed in shielding that would resist the collapsing forces during the progression towards singularity and investigating a mysterious object that has been sighted two billion light years away towards the edge of the universe. Because of its bizarre nature this enigmatic vessel is rumored to have come from a prior universe. While the Dyson is being built and populated, Mila and Thorne are sent on what is considered a long shot expedition to see if the rumors are true; if this strange object is really from a prior universe, could it guide them to the next? On a planet where the infrastructure is failing, Strider and his mysterious telepathic companion known only as The Sylk struggle to survive in the hope of finding answers to questions they can barely even understand yet. As all these paths converge can humanity forge a path beyond the end of this universe; can they find a way forward to a new future?

Pages : 271
Book Description
Beyond Language (Oltre il Linguaggio) is one of Italian philosopher Emmanuele Severino's major works, wrestling with whether it's possible to think meaningfully outside of the restrictions of language. Increasingly recognised as a truly foundational thinker in the formation of contemporary theory, Severino's ideas around self-expression, forms of communication and the limitations of language continue are brought to the fore in this book. Beyond Language specifically opens the door to the themes that Severino developed in his later works, including the concrete meaning of self-being and the decline of language. The depth and breadth of Severino's philosophical insight is as profound today as it was when first penned in 1992, making this first English translation of a key work in the history of continental philosophy crucial reading for those engaged with contemporary theory.

Book Description
"I wanted to do something special for Motown 25. That's where the moonwalk came from." - Michael Jackson Embark on an extraordinary journey through the life of Michael Jackson, the enigmatic artist who transformed the music industry and captivated audiences worldwide. "Michael Jackson: Beyond the Moonwalk" delves deep into the story of the King of Pop, exploring his unparalleled career, personal struggles, and enduring influence. One of the most thrilling moments in Michael Jackson's career occurred on March 25, 1983, during the television special "Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever," celebrating the 25th anniversary of Motown Records. As anticipation built, Michael took the stage, dressed in a black sequined jacket, black pants, white socks, and a single white glove—an ensemble that would become iconic. After performing a medley of hits with his brothers, the Jackson 5, Michael stepped forward to perform "Billie Jean." The opening beats were instantly recognizable, and the audience's excitement was palpable. As Michael sang and danced, his movements were precise yet fluid, each step perfectly in sync with the music. The moment that would go down in history came during the instrumental break of "Billie Jean." Michael paused, then began to glide backward effortlessly, creating the illusion of walking forward while actually moving backward. This move, later known as the moonwalk, left the audience and viewers at home in awe. It was a moment of pure magic, a demonstration of Michael's exceptional talent and his ability to captivate and surprise. From his early days with the Jackson 5 to his groundbreaking solo career, this comprehensive biography captures the essence of Michael's journey. Discover how he revolutionized the music video medium with iconic productions like "Thriller," "Beat It," and "Black or White," setting new standards for visual storytelling. Explore his collaborations with legendary producer Quincy Jones, resulting in timeless albums that blended pop, rock, R&B, and funk, pushing the boundaries of music and performance. The book also provides an unflinching look at Michael's personal struggles, including his battles with vitiligo, lupus, and addiction, and the intense media scrutiny that followed him throughout his life. It addresses the controversies that marred his legacy, including the child abuse allegations and the impact of the 2005 trial on his personal and professional life. Michael's significant humanitarian efforts and his profound impact on social issues through songs like "Man in the Mirror" and "Earth Song" are meticulously detailed, highlighting his dedication to using his platform for positive change. The biography also explores his lasting influence on contemporary artists and the music industry, demonstrating how his innovative techniques in music production, choreography, and performance continue to inspire new generations.
