Book Description
George Widener developed a passion for calendars, numbers and numerology, historical data, population statistics, and mathematical calculations early on. In his clearly structured drawings he combines actual historical events with his own computations, analyzing both world affairs and his own biography, and developing specific codes for super-intelligent computers of the future. Influenced by the theories of Ray Kurzweil, a leading scientist in the field of artificial intelligence, Widener is convinced that in 2045 high-performance computers will fuse with the human brain and transform consciousness into software. For George Widener numbers and data are not only intellectually reflected patterns but part of his inner struc-ture, the fundamental system of his perception of the world. Widener is a savant with Asperger syndrome, someone with an extraordinary insular ingenuity that was diagnosed rather late in life. 0Exhibition: Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, Germany (25.01.-16.06.2013).

Teaching Modernist Women's Writing in English
Author: Janine Utell
Publisher: Modern Language Association of America
ISBN: 9781603294850
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
As authors and publishers, individuals and collectives, women significantly shaped the modernist movement. While figures such as Virginia Woolf and Gertrude Stein have received acclaim, authors from marginalized communities and those who wrote for mass, middlebrow audiences also created experimental and groundbreaking work. The essays in this volume explore formal aspects and thematic concerns of modernism while also challenging rigid notions of what constitutes literary value as well as the idea of a canon with fixed boundaries. The essays contextualize modernist women's writing in the material and political concerns of the early twentieth century and in life on the home front during wartime. They consider the original print contexts of the works and propose fresh digital approaches for courses ranging from high school through graduate school. Suggested assignments provide opportunities for students to write creatively and critically, recover forgotten literary works, and engage with their communities.

Puritan Boston and Quaker Philadelphia
Author: E. Digby Baltzell
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1351495348
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 604
Book Description
Based on the biographies of some three hundred people in each city, this book shows how such distinguished Boston families as the Adamses, Cabots, Lowells, and Peabodys have produced many generations of men and women who have made major contributions to the intellectual, educational, and political life of their state and nation. At the same time, comparable Philadelphia families such as the Biddles, Cadwaladers, Ingersolls, and Drexels have contributed far fewer leaders to their state and nation. From the days of Benjamin Franklin and Stephen Girard down to the present, what leadership there has been in Philadelphia has largely been provided by self-made men, often, like Franklin, born outside Pennsylvania.Baltzell traces the differences in class authority and leadership in these two cites to the contrasting values of the Puritan founders of the Bay Colony and the Quaker founders of the City of Brotherly Love. While Puritans placed great value on the calling or devotion to one's chosen vocation, Quakers have always placed more emphasis on being a good person than on being a good judge or statesman. Puritan Boston and Quaker Philadelphia presents a provocative view of two contrasting upper classes and also reflects the author's larger concern with the conflicting values of hierarchy and egalitarianism in American history.

N.U.K.E.E
Author: Don Widener
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595131123
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Scientists have a depressing penchant for doing the possible rather than the rational, leaving mankind with a continuing dilemma. What happens when technology slips its leash - when Frankenstein's monster climbs from his gurney and stalks the countryside? N.U.K.E.E. explores this notion. Nuclear power plants are catastrophes waiting to happpen. Such an accident is not a matter of if; it is a matter of when. In N.U.K.E.E., a big reactor in Southern California undergoes a core melt when damaged by a quake. It is the largest disaster in U.S. history - with the possible exception of when Congress convenes. In a panic, Washington shuts down all nukes but hedges its bet by cranking up N.U.K.E.E. (Nuclear Universal Keystone of Enormous Energy), a gigantic experimental reactor - the first breeder-feeder. The plant breeds more plutonium (fuel) than it consumes, and dines on the surplus to grow ever more powerful. An impish genius programs N.U.K.E.E.'s two huge computers (Annie and Digby) with characteristics of a ten-dollar hooker and a Mafia hit man instead of Madame Curie and Einstein as called for in the specs. N.U.K.E.E. takes over, goes on a power binge and threatens to destroy the world unless global energy use stays ahead of the plant's mammoth and expanding output.
