Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space travel is so overrated. Bounty hunting isn't any better, but it's what Sloane Tarnish needs to do if she wants to fix the rundown spaceship her uncle dumped on her. So she can find him and dump it right back. Problem A: Her uncle also ditched his motley crew–made up of a cranky ace pilot and an extraneous mad scientist–and they don't exactly see her as the captain. Problem B: Her ship's too broken to leave the most dangerous system in the galaxy, where a recent power vacuum is turning the place into one orbiting cluster of fugitives, thugs, and swindlers. When Sloane sets her sights on a bounty with a reward that will solve all her problems, the Commander of the Galactic Fleet himself shows up in pursuit of the same man. The last thing Sloane needs is to get tangled in a web of galactic politics–but she won't let her prize go, either. The payoff is just too big to give up. But as dangers close in on all sides, she can't help wondering if she'll live to claim her prize… Chaos Zone is the first installment in a new space opera series full of reckless women, messy worlds, and big adventures–perfect for fans of Guardians of the Galaxy and the Mandalorian.

Download or read book Chaos in the Contact Zone written by Stephanie Wodianka and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural encounters are often being stylized not only as experiences of uncontrollability and unpredictability par excellence, but also as challenges to planning and predicting. The history, the different forms and the consequences of this phenomenon are the main issues discussed in this volume. The contributions show that chaos and control are not mutually exclusive in the "contact zone" (Mary Louise Pratt); on the contrary, they stand in relation to each other - be it as a competence or as an interpretive scheme.
Download or read book Clinical Chaos written by Linda Chamberlain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychology and the social sciences are in need of a new foundation, one that provides a better model for understanding complex behavior. Chaos theory and its newest permutation, complexity theory, offers an innovative, exciting and potentially revolutionary leap forward in the evolution of scientific thought. In Clinical Chaos, therapists and theoreticians from various areas in the social sciences will explore the relevance and implications for non-linear dynamics in observing, explaining, and understanding human behavior. At last, the scientific search can again encompass surprise, transformation, unpredictability, and pattern. This book is intended to introduce social scientists to chaos through paths that are already familiar. By linking chaos theory with existing psychological theories and established areas of clinical pursuit, Clinical Chaos emphasizes the relevance of this new science in providing a more flexible useful model for complexities of life.

Download or read book Dynamical Chaos written by Vadim Semenovich Anishchenko and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1995 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, bifurcational mechanisms of the development, structure and properties of chaotic attractors are investigated by numerical and physical experiments based on the methods of the modern theory of nonlinear oscillations. The typical bifurcations of regular and chaotic attractors which are due to parameter variations are analyzed.Regularities of the transition to chaos via the collapse of quasiperiodic oscillations with two and three frequencies are investigated in detail. The book deals with the problems of chaotic synchronization, interaction of attractors and the phenomenon of stochastic resonance. The problems of fluctuation influence on the bifurcations and properties of chaotic attractors are investigated more closely.All principal problems are investigated by the comparison of theoretical and numerical results and data from physical experiments.

Download or read book Organisation and Complexity written by Jacco van Uden and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students of organisation have used complexity theory in many different ways and for many different reasons. What characterises the writings of most 'management thinkers', however, is that the authors are primarily concerned with the question of "how to make this complexity thing work for us?" This study takes a rather different approach. Ideas and concepts of the science of complexity are borrowed to develop the idea that organisations live lives of their own - an idea that is very much at odds with the dominant view that understands organisations as tools that we use to realise certain goals. To illustrate matters, the book discusses the developments of the organisation of Vitesse, a mediocre Dutch professional football club that according to its president needed to be transformed into a major player in the family entertainment industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An alien disease. A cryptic bloodline. An ancient feud between worlds. Well. It's nothing a little swagger can't handle. Damian Riddle's sick of bouncing around the known galaxy in search of a cure for the alien disease that's been plaguing him for months. He hasn't felt up to robbing a single pirate ship, or breaking into any cartel supply stashes. It's inconvenient, at best. Also, he's got a feeling the illness just might be fatal. The only solution? To start searching the unknown galaxy for a cure. And Damian knows how to do it. But when a nosy reporter stows away in his smuggling compartment, throwing off his calculations, the ship slingshots them both to an unknown location–where political maneuvering is the status quo and sinister mysteries cast shadows over the crystalline beauty of the alien city. If Damian can't figure out where the heck they are–and whether these aliens can help him with a cure–his ailment is sure to kill him. And with his symptoms growing worse, he fears the fallout may not be contained to one man…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sloane Tarnish has always secretly admired her outlaw of an uncle and his tales of not-so-legal adventures across the galaxy–but she never thought she'd be asked to help with one of his heists. When Uncle Vin shows up on her med school campus with a plan to steal a chip full of Fleet intelligence–and the baffling idea to have her play a key role in the scheme–Sloane's got her doubts. Uncle Vin doesn't seem to realize that her top skills involve the kind of shots you drink, not the ones you fire. But Vin's convinced the Fleet's got plans to install empirical rule across the free galaxy, and that this data could stop them before they can begin. When a bunch of rogue delivery drones start taking shots at her–and not the liquid kind–she has to figure he's onto something. To prove it, all she needs to do is steal the data key from the middle of a Fleet ball… and right out from under the Commander's nose. Too bad she's got absolutely no idea what she's doing… Outlaw Rising is the prequel novella to the Parse Galaxy space opera adventure series, perfect for fans of Firefly, Star Trek, and Guardians of the Galaxy!

Download or read book The Beginnings of European Theorizing reflexivity in the Archaic Age written by Barry Sandywell and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the cultural practices of early Greek society construct the self? How does the self appear in the earliest forms of Greek poetry and literature? What are the relationships between the art of the Archaic age and the emergence of autonomous political and theoretical institutions? How did these practices of self-reflection shape the emergence of later forms of theorizing, science and philosophy? In Reflexivity and the Crisis of Western Reason, Barry Sandywell outlined and defended a central place for reflexivity in the human sciences. In this second equally outstanding and challenging volume of Logological Investigations, he reconstructs the origins of European reflection. The author's central claim is that the world does not exist independently of human practices, but that it is constituted through the terms of our discursive categories. Rather than research being a triumphant exploration, it is more fully understood as agonized self-reflection on the grounds of knowledge production. Sandywell argues that this approach has been inherent throughout Western philosophy and in so doing, he shows that the reflexive character of human experience in Western culture can be traced through the desire for intelligibility that animated Greek drama, poetry, philosophy, and science as explorations of the cosmos, body-politic, and the soul.
