Book Description
In the 17th century, an English philosopher proposed the existence of a fourth dimension, inhabited by spirits. This same philosopher was an immense influence on Isaac Newton. Leibniz accused Newton of believing in the occult, citing gravity as a theory of which any magician would be proud. God is the essential ingredient in Newton's famous theory of gravity. They don't teach you that in science class! John Maynard Keynes said of Newton, "He was the last of the magicians, the last of the Babylonians and Sumerians, the last great mind which looked out on the visible and intellectual world with the same eyes as those who began to build our intellectual inheritance rather less than 10,000 years ago. Isaac Newton, a posthumous child born with no father on Christmas Day, 1642, was the last wonderchild to whom the Magi could do sincere and appropriate homage." Has science since Newton buried the spiritual dimension that Newton believed essential to any rational explanation of reality?! Can it be resurrected?

Book Description
The Legend of Dr. Kaminko by J.M. Sewall The town of Littleroot, Maine, is full of crazy urban myths, but one of the strangest is probably about a house on top of a hill, supposedly haunted by the ghost of the alleged mad scientist, Dr. Ivan Kaminko. But, of course, nobody’s been able to prove it. It’s just a silly legend, after all. There’s no such thing as haunted houses or ghosts. Or so people say. When teenager Terry Welling decides to investigate Dr. Kaminko’s house for history class, his best friend, Billy Martin, tries to tell him it’s a bad idea. And when even the mayor, Angus Hamilton, tells him there’s nothing to investigate, Terry becomes suspicious, so he and Billy, along with Billy’s cousin, Casey, and her best friend Allison, decide to go inside the house, hoping to learn something useful. But once they step inside, they make discoveries about the house and its alleged owner beyond anything they ever imagined.

Indefinite Visions
Author: Beugnet Martine Beugnet
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press
ISBN: 1474407137
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Moving image culture seems to privilege the instantly identifiable: the recognizable face, the well-timed stunt, the perfectly synchronized line of dialogue. Yet perfect, in-focus visibility does not come 'naturally' to the moving image, and if there is one visual effect the eye of the camera can record better than the human eye it is blur. Looking beyond popular media to works of experimental cinema and video art, this groundbreaking collection addresses the aesthetics and politics of moving images in states of decay, distortion, indistinctness and fragmentation. A range of international scholars examines what is at stake in these images' sometimes radical foregrounding of materiality and mediation, or of evanescence and spectrality, as well as their challenging of the dominant position accorded to 'legible' images. How have artists and filmmakers rendered the 'indefinite' image, and what questions does it pose? With a range of approaches, from aesthetics to phenomenology to production studies, the authors in this volume investigate techniques, themes and concepts that emerge from this wilful excavation of the moving image's material base.
