Book Description
PRAISE for ENTROPY ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆ “a sense of intelligence shines through the characters, who are all stalwart, brave, and self-sufficient in a way that recalls the works of Robert A. Heinlein.” Kirkus Review ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆ “A fascinating story of human exploration, courage, technological advances and conflict set in the near future.” ReedsyDiscovery ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆ “Should be made into a movie!” Reader’s Favorite ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆ “A 5-Star rollick along the narrow ledge of science and science fiction.” Professor Emeritus Arieh Ben-Naim, Author of ‘Entropy: The Greatest Blunder in the History of Science’ AWARDS⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆ 5-Stars: Reader’s Favorite DESTINATION MARS! The Lunar Republic is on the run… Life on Earth is dying from a mysterious cause, and President Kim bets her future on an obscure, young scientist whose theory can only be tested from outer space. The year is 2066, and the race is on against the Chinese to establish a viable lunar colony before the 100th anniversary of mankind’s first step on the Moon. Yet, the Moon is only the first step, the springboard for the permanent settlement of Mars. “Entropy” is set in the near future where technology has evolved to an astounding degree. Human nature, however, has not; this futuristic novel reads like an expose on our own times. “Entropy” is much more than a science fiction thriller; it is a running commentary on the times that we live. A dystopic, postapocalyptic, hard science depiction of epic space travel, colonization, and new beginnings for the human race: Entropy is a blockbuster, written by a new voice, waiting to be discovered. “Space flights to the moon, and then to Mars; if that isn’t the oldest yearning of mankind, our finest hope for glory”.

Son of (Entropy)2
Author: Peter C. Mayer
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1463420676
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Their son, mostly for fun, writes this collection of vignettes about two prominent scientists. The forward includes a description of the two, summarizing their character and their careers. The summary contains an explanation of the title, Entropy Squared. The forward ends with remarks about the accuracy of the vignettes. Some vignettes include a representation of the impact on the son and some have historical significance. The first two sections concern Gttingen, Germany, from where that American, Joe, as a fellow student put it, acquired his wife. The first section of Gttingen vignettes is from the time of meeting and from visits until World War II. The second is from after the War. Marias career at Sarah Lawrence College separates sections of their supporting the World War II war effort, Joe at the Ballistics Research Laboratory of Aberdeen Proving Grounds and Maria with the Manhattan, nuclear bomb, Project. The Sarah Lawrence College section goes beyond memories because biographers have said little about Marias time at Sarah Lawrence. Sections concerning each are followed by a section on Maria receiving of the Nobel Prize. The conclusion is a memorial to Joe.

The Entropy Exhibition
Author: Colin Greenland
Publisher: Gateway
ISBN: 0575127597
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Michael Moorcock edited and produced the magazine New Worlds from 1964 to 1973. Within its pages he encouraged the development of new kinds of popular writing out of the genre of science fiction, energetically reworking traditional themes, images and styles as a radical response to the crisis of modern fiction. The essential paradox of the new writing lay in its fascination with 'entropy' - the universal and irreversible decline of energy into disorder. Entropy provides the key both to the anarchic vitality of the magazine and to its neglect by critics and academics, as well as its intimate connection with other cultural experiments of the 1960s. The fiction of the New Worlds writers, who included Brian Aldiss, J. G. Ballard and Moorcock himself, was not concerned with the far future and outer space, but with the ambiguous and unstable conditions of the modern world. As Ballard put it: 'The only truly alien planet is Earth.' The Entropy Exhibition is the first critical assessment of the literary movement known as 'New Wave' science fiction. It examines the history of the magazine and its background in the popular imagination of the 1960s, traces the strange history of sex in science fiction and analyses development in stylistic theory and practice. Detailed attention is given to each of the three principal contributors to New Worlds - Aldiss, Ballard and Moorcock. Moorcock himself is most commonly judged by his commercial fantasy novels instead of by the magazine he supported with them, but here the balance is at last redressed: New Worlds emerges as nothing less than a focus and a metaphor for many of the transformations of English and American literature in the past two decades.

The Entropy of Capitalism
Author: Robert Biel
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004204296
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
The project of applying general systems theory to social sciences is crucial in today’s crisis when social and ecological systems clash. This book concretely demonstrates the necessity of a Marxist approach to this challenge, notably in asserting agency (struggle) as against determinism. It similarly shows how Marxism can be reinvigorated from a systems perspective. Drawing on his experience in both international systems and low-input agriculture, Biel explores the interaction of social and physical systems, using the conceptual tools of thermodynamics and information. He reveals the early twenty-first century as a period when capitalism starts parasitising on the chaos it itself creates, notably in the link between the two sides of imperialism: militarism (the ‘war on terror’) and speculative finance capital.

The Gods of Entropy
Author: Deryck Hockley
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 152556837X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 997
Book Description
The Gods of Entropy and the Fifth Yin follows Dyfed Lucifer, the only descendant of the multi-dimensional “Hyperborean Masters of the Little Known Universe” to be born on an “earth” that has a history remarkably similar to ours. His mission is to reduce the suffering of humans (the hoi polloi – the fuzz on the peach and the salt of the Earth) and give them the tools to think independently. Standing in the way of Dyfed’s mission are the Haploids, the world’s executive power elite who captain almost every ship of state. These Haploids are the acolytes of myth and responsible for cults, political ideology fallacies, and a corporate establishment that keeps the hoi polloi slaves to debt. Thankfully, as an immortal, Dyfed has time on his hands for this epic quest that extends from early history to a gloomy future that (despite the author’s disclaimer) bears a striking resemblance to the world at large today. Witty, sagacious, and downright spicy, The Gods of Entropy combines satire and surrealism to hold a mirror up to our own civilization that will make readers alternatively chortle and gasp, and most importantly, reflect.

Path to Entropy - An Apocalyptic Climax [FREE eBook: #Dystopian, #PostApocalyptic, #GeneticEngineering], Book 5 of 7 in the Predictable Paths series A narcissistic, psychotic oligarch rules over a second-rate, post-apocalyptic domain in the western part of what was once America. Sara, his communications minister, loves her job and proudly supports him despite his insanity. She tells her team: "Work is work, and you should take pride in it, even when your job is to deny, divert, distract, detract, and deceive." Yet this day is not going so well. Ron, her maniacal and probably AI-controlled boss, is screaming at his ministers, raging about a highly visible and clearly embarrassing incident that just occurred in his domain. He orders Sara to immediately develop and lead the response - to gloss over it, blame the locals, or accuse their many regional enemies of stirring up hatreds. But such accusations could lead to frightful backlashes from their belligerent, tech-rich neighbors.
