Book Description
Matthew Kirkpatrick’s debut, Light without Heat, is an inventive, surprising collection of short stories full of odd, marginal characters rendered with surreal humor and lyrical, often beautiful language. Formally playful, these stories take the shape of biographies, instructions, glossaries, and diagrams, all ultimately in the service of depicting characters with emotional intensity. Stories in the collection explore the flawed nature of memory, workplace malaise, the isolation of home, and the last throes of ending love. No two stories in Light without Heat are the same, yet all of them work toward sharing human experience in new, innovative ways.

Light without Heat
Author: David Carroll Simon
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501723413
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
In Light without Heat, David Carroll Simon argues for the importance of carelessness to the literary and scientific experiments of the seventeenth century. While scholars have often looked to this period in order to narrate the triumph of methodical rigor as a quintessentially modern intellectual value, Simon describes the appeal of open-ended receptivity to the protagonists of the New Science. In straying from the work of self-possession and the duty to sift fact from fiction, early modern intellectuals discovered the cognitive advantages of the undisciplined mind. Exploring the influence of what he calls the "observational mood" on both poetry and prose, Simon offers new readings of Michel de Montaigne, Francis Bacon, Izaak Walton, Henry Power, Robert Hooke, Robert Boyle, Andrew Marvell, and John Milton. He also extends his inquiry beyond the boundaries of early modernity, arguing for a literary theory that trades strict methodological commitment for an openness to lawless drift.

The Universe Of Reality
Author: A. Stinson
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595488811
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
The Universe of Reality questions many answers and answers many questions. There are many scientific and political deceptions forwarded to the general public, especially Americans. We have been deceived for hundreds of years. The comments and theories presented in this writing untangle and decipher the phenomena of light, gravity, the four forces, and many political deceptions. The Universe of Reality (UOE) theories are much closer to the truth than the wild, problematic conjectures scientist and politicians present as facts. About 90% of "accepted" theories are wrong, and some just straight lies, 9% twisted truths, and 1% arguable. The UOE theories combine the four forces (strong, weak, electromagnetic, and gravity) into one force, the universe of energy. These theories challenge older, accepted theories and conjectures by well known scientists such as Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton, yet the UOE theories are built on the older theories of well known scientists.
