Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1989 the Brazilian student Paulo Roberto was abducted by a “flying saucer”. His captors are representatives of a super developed civilization inhabiting the star Cygni 61, which they call Omeron. This is civilization-parent of the terrestrial one. For an earth man such as Paulo this is a strange and completely unaccustomed world in every respect. On this planet money and states do not exist. They have withered away; the same way as verbal speech has withered away, too, replaced by telepathy. In this civilization things are accomplished by the direct exchange of energy – without money, as well as the direct exchange of information – without speech; all are united in a common energy-info exchange. These humans look somehow not so solid, not so heavy, pale, and faintly gauzy. They are an odd society of slightly lucent at times yogis. They have a transparent blood and unknown metabolism. But even the bravest visionary’s dreams cannot vie with this reality – for these humans can fly! Yes! These nondescript supermen, almost imperishable and ethereal, soar through the air like biblical angels. In 2023 Paulo comes back to the Earth. What does he find here and what happens with him then?

Download or read book Pushing Our Limits written by Mark Nelson and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pushing Our Limits is a fresh examination of Biosphere 2, the world’s first man-made mini-world, twenty-five years after its first closure experiment. Author Mark Nelson, one of the eight crew members locked in the enclosure during the 1991–1993 experiment, offers a compelling insider’s view of the dramatic story behind Biosphere 2. Biosphere 2 helped change public understanding of what our global biosphere is and how it provides for our health and well-being. However, the experiment is often dismissed as a failure, and news outlets at the time focused on interpersonal conflicts and unexpected problems that arose. Delving past the sensationalism, Nelson presents the goals and results of the experiment, addresses the implications of the project for our global situation, and discusses how the project’s challenges and successes can change our thinking about Biosphere 1: the Earth. Pushing Our Limits offers insights from the project that can help us deal with our global ecological challenges. It also shows the intense and fulfilling connection the biospherians felt with their life support system and how this led to their vigilant attention to its needs. With current concerns of sustainability and protection of our global biosphere, as well as the challenge of learning how to support life in space and on Mars, the largest, longest, and most important experiment in closed ecosystems is more relevant than ever. The book explores Biosphere 2’s lessons for changing technology to support and not destroy nature and for reconnecting people to a healthy relationship with nature.

Download or read book Planetary Defense written by Nikola Schmidt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-26 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planetary defense from near-Earth objects such as asteroids is a far more nuanced and challenging topic than it might seem. Each day, technology is making it easier to detect asteroid impact threats in advance, but at present, there is still no easy way to design and implement any form of global defense. This book examines how various asteroid deflection methods can change global political affairs. The authors believe that the final policy for potential Earth impacts should be based on practical engineering solutions and innovative architectural structures, while at the same time reflecting the most recent political science contributions in ethical security studies and security cosmopolitanism. Their focus is not limited to effective engineering solutions, but rather extends to how such proposals resonate in possible political structures of the future. Planetary defense cannot be achieved with technology alone; the chapters in this volume highlight the issues that arise when space science and technology intersect with political science. This complex interdisciplinary project not only demands global participation and collaboration, but also proposes the way we can achieve it. The authors explore various concepts of governance and their far-reaching implications for planetary defense and vice versa—how scientific progress in Solar System observations and asteroid collision engineering influence political science and put pressure on the international legal framework. The text is intentionally written for a diverse scholarly and diplomatic audience in a style accessible to non-specialists and practitioners and can be read by those across diverse disciplinary backgrounds.

Download or read book Socialism Is Dead Long Live Socialism written by Todor Bombov and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is divided into two autonomous books. The first book, The State, represents a radically new political system of society, one which is the most democratic system ever possible! This is a completely new society, a real civil society, which otherwise in the capitalist system is only a utopia. In this book, I scrutinize the principles of scientific socialism; i.e., all those principles of Marxism concerning the state that build socialism as a political system. The second book, The Economic Theory of Socialism, is a sequel, and as far as I know, the only sequel of the greatest work by Karl Marx – Capital. The economics of socialism makes Marx’s socialism already completely possible. In this book, I scrutinize the economic laws that build socialism as a more effective economic system than capitalism. These laws are extracted from Marx’s main work – Capital. From 1917 to 1991, the totalitarian system in USSR and East Europe was called socialism, and even by the scientific nonsense and absurd names of communism and communist system. In this system, the official ideology was allegedly Marxism, but really it could not endure any Marxist criticism. There was never any socialism anywhere! In the twentieth century, we passed through a system of utopian socialism as proof that this was not socialism that was not possible, but for the utopia of writers before and after Marx. We were visited by a utopian socialism, which at the contemporary stage is simply capitalism – state, monopolistic. There is no better application of Keynes’s doctrine than the “socialism” of the twentieth century. His “planned capitalism” is actually “planned socialism.”

Download or read book Science Religion and Communism in Cold War Europe written by Paul Betts and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-14 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion and science were fundamental aspects of Eastern European communist political culture from the very beginning, and remained in uneasy tension across the region over the decades. While both topics have long attracted a great deal of scholarly attention, they almost invariably have been studied discretely as separate stories. Religion, Science and Communism in Cold War Europe is the first scholarly effort to explore the delicate interface of religion, science and communism in Cold War Europe. It brings together an international team of researchers who address this relationship from a number of national viewpoints and thematic perspectives, ranging from mysticism to social science, space exploration to the socialist lifecycle, and architectural heritage to pop culture.
Download or read book Metamorphoses written by Saad Ali and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metamorphoses: Poetic Discourses is the 2nd book of poems by Saad Ali. It is a testimony to the quartet of the forces of love, hate, fear and courage as the begetter and annihilator of our existence and transformations. The poems are born as aficionados of the respective quartet. While reflecting upon why and how this quartet influences our being, the poems encourage us to embrace life with all her facets and live as even proactive actors of the dialectical phenomenon that metamorphosis is, for the manifestation of all, small and big, is an embodiment of some form of metamorphosis. This book of poems is an instance of sharing of Saad’s experiences of love, hate, fear and courage with everyone in the world. It is an invitation to a collective and individual contemplative odyssey. And an invitation to making a difference in our own and others’ lives as conscious beings.
Download or read book Who Owns the Moon written by Virgiliu Pop and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-16 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work investigates the permissibility and viability of property rights on the - lestial bodies, particularly the extraterrestrial aspects of land and mineral resources ownership. In lay terms, it aims to ?nd an answer to the question “Who owns the Moon?” The ?rst chapter critically analyses and dismantles with legal arguments the issue of sale of extraterrestrial real estate, after having perused some of the trivial claims of celestial bodies ownership. The only consequence these claims have on the plane of space law is to highlight the need for a better regulation of extraterrestrial landed property rights. Next, thebook addresses theapparent silenceofthelawinthe?eldofextraterr- trial landed property, scrutinizing whether the factual situation on the extraterrestrial realms calls for legal regulations. The sources of law are examined in their dual dimension – that is, the facts that have caused and shaped the law of extraterrestrial real estate, and the norms which express this law. It is found that the norms and rules regarding property rights in the celestial realms are rather limited, failing to de?ne basic concepts such as celestial body.
