Visions
Author: Michio Kaku
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307794776
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
The national bestselling author of The God Equation and renowned theoretical physicist examines the scientific revolutions that have reshaped the twentieth century—the quantum mechanics, biogenetics, and artificial intelligence—and shows how they will change and alter science and the way we live. "An erudite, compelling insider's look into the most mind-bending potential of science research." —Chicago Tribune The next century will witness more far-reaching scientific revolutions, as we make the transition from unraveling the secrets of nature to becoming masters of nature. We will no longer be passive bystanders to the dance of the universe, but will become creative choreographers of matter, life, and intelligence. The first section of Visions presents a shocking look at a cyber-world infiltrated by millions of tiny intelligence systems. Part two illustrates how the decoding of DNA's genetic structure will allow humans the "godlike ability to manipulate life almost at will." Finally, Visions focuses on the future of quantum physics, in which physicists will perfect new ways to manipulate matter and harness the cosmic energy of the universe. What makes Michio Kaku's vision of the science of the future so compelling--and so different from the mere forecasts of most thinkers--is that it is based on the groundbreaking research taking place in labs today, as well as the consensus of over 150 of Kaku's scientific colleagues. Science, for all its breathtaking change, evolves slowly; we can accurately predict, asserts Kaku, what the direction of science will be, based on the paths that are being forged today. A thrilling, unique narrative that brings together the thinking of many of the world's most accomplished scientists to explore the world of the future, Visions is science writing at its best.

Tales Beyond Dreams
Author: Hesham Ragab
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412230640
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
This is a collection of seven epics, lyrics of seven respective musical albums, which I also composed. During that period of my life I passed through various experiences, which profoundly influenced my life and eventually my compositions, whether musical or lyrical. Maybe they could be a true reflection! A teenager of the seventies, I was a fan of classical and rock music with a special interest in progressive and heavy rock, which quite influenced my musical style and stirring ideas driving my potential writing gear. The various readings of science fiction, eastern ethnical beliefs and philosophies, some significant motion pictures, and the surrounding world of changes; incarnating tyranny, deceit, war, inhumanity, injustice...all contributed and had tangible impact on forming my ideology. The Martyr, the old-young man, who loved his human brotherhood and nature, whose enigma was to salvage them, who desparately searched for love but was absurdly treated, and winded up a martyr of his own principles! Could a simple person make a drastic decision to stop the wrong? Free the abused, whatever it took him? The Raver was sort of decisive evolution to countervail the dark world presented in the Demons' Kingdom. Land of a Thousand Dreams, blindness! What a mysterious world? Is it better or worse? A bless or a curse? An evolution, a paradigm shift from delirium to step on the threshold towards the route to promise land. Travelling in space and time, traversing life and death to reach reality, a contemplation of the mind was The Journey! When you have acquired knowledge, then you should share it and help others, lead them to enlightenment! Fly Free Gentle Dove is the aim. Have I really grasped the knowledge and gone beyond it to reach unity with the universe? The recapitulation is in the Voyages on the Oceans of Mystery.

Textual Vision
Author: Timothy Erwin
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1611485703
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
A stylish critique of literary attitudes towards painting, TextualVision explores the simultaneous rhetorical formation and empirical fragmentation of visual reading in enlightenment Britain. Beginning with an engaging treatment of Pope's Rape of the Lock, Timothy Erwin takes the reader on a guided tour of the pointed allusion, apt illustration, or the subtle appeal to the mind's eye within a wide array of genres and texts, before bringing his linked case studies to a surprising close with the fiction of Jane Austen. At once carefully researched, theoretically informed and highly imaginative, Textual Vision situates textual vision at the cultural crossroads of ancient pictura-poesis doctrine and modernist aesthetics. It provides reliable interpretive poles for reading enlightenment imagery, offers vivid new readings of familiar works, and promises to invigorate the study of Restoration and eighteenth-century visual culture.

Technologies of Vision
Author: Steve F Anderson
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262037017
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
An investigation of the computational turn in visual culture, centered on the entangled politics and pleasures of data and images. If the twentieth century was tyrannized by images, then the twenty-first is ruled by data. In Technologies of Vision, Steve Anderson argues that visual culture and the methods developed to study it have much to teach us about today's digital culture; but first we must examine the historically entangled relationship between data and images. Anderson starts from the supposition that there is no great divide separating pre- and post-digital culture. Rather than creating an insular field of new and inaccessible discourse, he argues, it is more productive to imagine that studying “the digital” is coextensive with critical models—especially the politics of seeing and knowing—developed for understanding “the visual.” Anderson's investigation takes on an eclectic array of examples ranging from virtual reality, culture analytics, and software art to technologies for computer vision, face recognition, and photogrammetry. Mixing media archaeology with software studies, Anderson mines the history of technology for insight into both the politics of data and the pleasures of algorithms. He proposes a taxonomy of modes that describe the functional relationship between data and images in the domains of space, surveillance and data visualization. At stake in all three are tensions between the totalizing logic of data and the unruly chaos of images.

An Encyclopaedia of Occultism
Author: Lewis Spence
Publisher: Cosimo, Inc.
ISBN: 1596052376
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 457
Book Description
This "compendium of information on the occult sciences, occult personalities, psychic science, demonology, spiritism, and mysticism" was one of a kind when it was first published in 1920 and is still considered the best in its field today. Spence organizes a world's worth of magic -- from "Ab" (a magical month in the ancient Semitic calendar) to "Zulu witch-finders" -- into 2,500 dictionary-style entries that explore concepts and personalities both familiar (Freemasonry, Morgan le Fay) and obscure: palingenesy (a process by which plants or vegetables are destroyed and then "resurrected"), Leonora Galigai (a 17th-century Italian aristocrat who was burned as a witch). A delight for devotees of the weird and the strange, and a valuable resource for students of mythology and the evolution of scientific thought, this important volume is at home in the libraries of all book lovers. Scottish journalist and folklorist LEWIS SPENCE (1874 -1955) was a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, and Vice-President of the Scottish Anthropological and Folklore Society. He published more than 40 works on mythology and the occult, including History of Atlantis, An Introduction to Mythology, and Myth and Ritual in Dance, Game and Rhyme.
