In the seventeenth millennium, the New Commonality of Humankind is expanding, using newly-discovered faster-than-light travel to rediscover lost worlds colonised in the distant past. It's a time of turmoil, of clashing cultures, as civilisations shudder and collapse before the might of a benevolent empire ten millennia old. In the Solenine Cluster, things are going from bad to worse, as hyper-advanced technologies destabilise a world in chaos. Thaddeus Clay and his SCI Force special ops team are on the trail of the Transmigration Heresy. What they find is something beyond even their imagining - something which could tear the whole Commonality apart... "Thrilling adventure and mystery wrapped up with an inventive, mind-bending look at mankind's future." - Howard Andrew Jones, author of The Desert of Souls "Science fiction like this never dies." - Chris Helton, Dorkland "Complex, gripping... the most original sci-fi you're likely to get..." - G*M*S Magazine "a very exciting and intelligently-written novel that should be on the reading list of every SF fan!" - Stargazer's World "William Gibson-like in the intensity of the ideas it introduces... a heady mixture of action, crunchy science fiction elements and that perennial cyberpunk or transhuman question: what does human mean?" - Shores of Night

But a sudden, violent death in the Tower of Dust triggers a new problem that may signal the beginning of the end for the city of Ythis. Surrounded by powerful forces of darkness, Borolt Zale must solve the puzzle of a demon's broken binding while escaping the Church's mad plots to bring down the sorcerers of Ythis - and avoiding the enemies of Veylar Dust who rival even his dark power.

Download or read book Eclipse of Reason written by Max Horkheimer and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Eclipse of Reason, Horkheimer discusses how the Nazis were able to project their agenda as "reasonable", but also identifies the Pragmatism of John Dewey as problematic, due to his emphasis on the instrumental dimension of reasoning. It is broken into five sections: Means and Ends, Conflicting Panaceas, The Revolt of Nature, The Rise and Decline of the Individual and On the Concept of Philosophy and deals with the concept of reason within the history of western philosophy. Horkheimer defines true reason as rationality, which can only be fostered in an environment of free, critical thinking. He details the difference between objective, subjective and instrumental reason, and states that we have moved from the former through the centre and into the latter (though subjective and instrumental reason are closely connected). Objective reason deals with universal truths that dictate that an action is either right or wrong. It is a concrete concept, and a force in the world that requires specific modes of behaviour.

The eclipses are distributed as follows: 4,378 penumbral eclipses, 4,207 partial eclipses, and 3,479 total eclipses.The "Five Millennium Catalog of Lunar Eclipses: -1999 to +3000" contains an individual figures and maps for each eclipse showing the geographic regions of visibility for each phase (penumbral, partial, and total). The uncertainty in Earth's rotational period expressed in DT and its impact on the geographic visibility of eclipses in the past and future is discussed.The statistics of the lunar eclipse distribution over 5,000 years are examined in detail. This includes eclipse types by month and by century, eclipse frequency in the calendar year, extremes in eclipse magnitude for all eclipse types, maximum durations of penumbral, partial, and total eclipses, and eclipse duos (two eclipses within 30 days of each other).Finally, the periodicity of lunar eclipses is investigated with particular attention to the Saros cycle.

The Catalog and the Canon both use the same solar and lunar ephemerides as well as the same value of ?T. This 1-to-1 correspondence between them enhances the value of each.
