Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hybrid Eyes - Reflections of an African in Europe is a moving and insightful account of the experiences of a young Sierra Leonean graduate who achieves his dream of going to Europe for further studies. As he encounters people and institutions, his idealistic expectations of German society soon give way to the harsh realities of discrimination and other disadvantages foreigners, especially black Africans, face in their host country. But not all Germans discriminate against blacks and blame the problems of their country on foreigners. Hybrid Eyesis compelling reading for everyone. It is a story that young people who aspire to study in Europe should read to help them prepare for adjustment to the demands of their prospective foreign environment. It is also a sound warning to those who wish to explore the greener pastures of Europe that the grass is not as green as they think, or are made to believe. Written in simple, straightforward English, and neatly structured in interwoven episodes, Hybrid Eyes is also highly recommended for schools.
Download or read book Raechel s Eyes written by Helen Littrell and published by Wild Flower Press. This book was released on 2005-05-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Helen Littrell's daughter Marisa and her odd college roommate Raechel -- two young women who did not fit it -- one legally blind and needing assistance, and the other with a strange diet, but seemingly no history at all. This fascinating story, written from experience and years of research as documented in Part II, crackles like science fiction but is true. It answers two important questions: Why haven't aliens landed on the White House lawn, and why haven't they taken over the Earth? Marisa's story invites you to expand your vision, to see the world, and ultimately the universe, through the eyes of a blind girl, her mother, and most strangely, through Raechel's Eyes.

Download or read book Eyes to See written by Michael Land and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vision is the sense by which we and other animals obtain most of our information about the world around us. Darwin appreciated that at first sight it seems absurd that the human eye could have evolved by natural selection. But we now know far more about vision, the many times it has independently evolved in nature, and the astonishing variety of ways to see. The human eye, with a lens forming an image on a sensitive retina, represents just one. Scallops, shrimps, and lobsters all use mirrors in different ways. Jumping spiders scan with their front-facing eyes to check whether the object in front is an insect to eat, another spider to mate with, or a predator to avoid. Mantis shrimps can even measure the polarization of light. Animal eyes are amazing structures, often involving precision optics and impressive information processing, mainly using wet protein - not the substance an engineer would choose for such tasks. In Eyes to See, Michael Land, one of the leading world experts on vision, explores the varied ways in which sight has evolved and is used in the natural world, and describes some of the ingenious experiments researchers have used to uncover its secrets. He also discusses human vision, including his experiments on how our eye movements help us to do everyday tasks, as well as skilled ones such as sight-reading music or driving. He ends by considering the fascinating problem of how the constantly shifting images from our eyes are converted in the brain into the steady and integrated conscious view of the world we experience.

Download or read book Hybrid Earth Phoenix written by Rustin Petrae and published by Rustin Petrae. This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hybrid Earth is set in a future where most of the planet's population has been merged with machines. These half-machine/half-human creatures are called Hybrids. In December of 2023, a coordinated terrorist attack on most of the world's nuclear power plants created a devastating fallout environment across 63% of the globe. Millions were killed but the survivors gathered in "safe zones" and went about the process of rebuilding the world. They started with trying to find a way to decontaminate the fall out. They put together a team of the most brilliant minds the world had to offer and came up with a solution. Nanobots. Billions of these microscopic robots were made to absorb radioactive particles which would, in turn, make the areas destroyed by fallout habitable again. The scientists ran hundreds of tests and simulations, all with excellent outcomes, and decided that the project was ready to implement. The nanobots were released into the areas effected by radiation and did what they were supposed to do. They absorbed it. After the absorption phase, however, things didn't go according to plan. Instead of heading back to a safely secured site for decontamination, the nanos dispersed themselves over the entire Earth. When they fell back down, they merged humans with whatever machine or metal they happened to be touching at the time. Hybrid Earth: Phoenix follows criminals, Ira Kelly, Ty Wilson, and Victor “VID” Daniels, as they are recruited in to a secret, HEA sanctioned agenda called the Phoenix Program. Their mission is to go undercover in New Genesis City’s shady crime groups and bring down the criminals from the inside. It’s either that or go back to the Null. Is there really a choice here?

Book excerpt: A mad scientist seeking to take over the world. Mice genetically spliced with superhuman DNA to give them superpowers. And the origins of the Super Pill—revealed! Twenty-five-year-old Dean Hernandez isn't a superhero. He's a scientist, one who happens to be in a relationship with a superhero who is dying of a genetic disease which only afflicts superhumans. To save his superhero girlfriend, Dean splices mice with superhuman DNA to give them superpowers. Dean hopes to study the resulting 'supermice' to design a cure for his girlfriend's condition and save her life. Disaster strikes when the mad scientist supervillain known as Hybrid steals the supermice right under Dean's nose, with plans to use them as the basis of an army of super beasts to take over the world. Even worse, the government brands Dean an accomplice to Hybrid on specious evidence, forcing Dean to go on the run to avoid getting arrested. Now Dean must team up with the gruff veteran superhero Arachnid to clear his name, save the supermice, and stop Hybrid. And he only has a week to do it before the Supermice Project is shut down and all of Dean's hopes of saving his girlfriend are destroyed. Taking place 10 years before Ashley Jason and the Superhero Academy, Supermice delves into the story behind the origin of the Super Pill and is a must-read for any Ashley Jason or Neoverse fans who want to see that setting from a slightly different perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolutionary Biology, of which this is the twenty-second volume, continues to offer its readers a wide range of original articles, reviews, and commentaries on evolution, in the broadest sense of that term. The topics of the reviews range from anthropology, molecular evolution, and paleobiology to principles of systematics. In recent volumes, a broad spectrum of articles have appeared on such subjects as asymmetric sexual isolation, biochemical systematics in plants, species selection, DNA hybridization and phylogenetics, modes of evolution in Pleistocene rodents, and development and evolution of the vertebrate limb. We have also attempted to provide a forum for conƯ flicting ideas. Articles such as these, often too long for standard journals, are the material for Evolutionary Biology. The editors continue to solicit manuscripts on an international scale in an effort to see that everyone ofthe many facets of biological evolution is covered. Manuscripts should be sent to anyone of the following: Max K. Hecht, Department of Biology, Queens College of the City University of New York, Flushing, New York 11367; Bruce Wallace, Department of Biology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, BlacksƯ burg, Virginia 24061; GhilleanT.

Download or read book Religious Language and Asian American Hybridity written by Julius-Kei Kato and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-10 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Julius-Kei Kato lets the theories and experiences of Asian American hybridity converse with and bear upon some aspects of Christian biblical and theological language. Hybridity has become a key feature of today’s globalized world and is, of course, a key concept in postcolonial thought. However, despite its crucial importance, hybridity is rarely used as a paradigm through which to analyze and evaluate the influential concepts and teachings that make up religious language. This book fills a lacuna by discussing what the concept of hybridity challenges and resists, what over-simplifications it has the power to complicate, and what forgotten or overlooked strands in religious tradition it endeavors to recover and reemphasize. Shifting seamlessly between biblical, theological, and modern, real-world case studies, Kato shows how hybridity permeates and can illuminate religious phenomena as lived and believed. The ultimate goal of the move toward an embrace of hybridity is a further dissolution of the thick wall separating ideas of "us" and "them." In this book, Kato suggests the possibility of a world in which what one typically considers the "other" is increasingly recognized within oneself.
