Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fifteen years, Ben Keylord has felt anguish and guilt over losing his only son. The boy's mother insists that there was nothing anybody could have done to save their son and the other newborns from a malfunctioning mega-computer and the hundreds of service androids under its control. But the guilt, the haunting memories, and his incredible sense of loss, proved to be too much for him to live with. His love for his son had never faded in the thousands of light-years separating them. It was a distance of space-time surmountable, but only with the science and technology he used to know, years ago, on his former planet-Planet Blue. But now he was stuck on a hot, desert planet, a refugee slaving on a farm to feed his family. No science and only the most basic technology could be found on this dry, yellow world. But, there was an ancient form of magic called the Power of Azron, and Ben Keylord would let nothing and nobody stand in his way in his attempt to acquire the use of this power-not the evil Ghorelian god Mandahn Sandsahn, not an angry Ghorelian convict, and not even a deadly climb up a crumbling mountain spire. Whatever the odds, life in his favor or death nipping at his heels, he would try his best to climb the haunted Black Mountains to acquire the Power, then attempt to reunite with the son he has loved forever and missed for too long.

Book excerpt: “Fascinating . . . memorable . . . revealing . . . perhaps the best of Carl Sagan’s books.”—The Washington Post Book World (front page review) In Cosmos, the late astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the magnificent mystery of the Universe and made it accessible to millions of people around the world. Now in this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through space and time. Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a radically new frontier—space. In Pale Blue Dot, Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury, insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the human race. “Takes readers far beyond Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity’s future in the stars.”—Chicago Tribune

Book excerpt: Abortion has remained one of the most volatile and polarizing issues in the United States for over four decades. Americans are more divided today than ever over abortion, and this debate colors the political, economic, and social dynamics of the country. This book provides a balanced, clear-eyed overview of the abortion debate, including the perspectives of both the pro-life and pro-choice movements. It covers the history of the debate from colonial times to the present, the mobilization of mass movements around the issue, the ways it is understood by ordinary Americans, the impact it has had on US political development, and the differences between the abortion conflict in the US and the rest of the world. Throughout these discussions, Ziad Munson demonstrates how the meaning of abortion has shifted to reflect the changing anxieties and cultural divides which it has come to represent. Abortion Politics is an invaluable companion for exploring the abortion issue and what it has to say about American society, as well as the dramatic changes in public understanding of women’s rights, medicine, religion, and partisanship.

Download or read book Our Enemies in Blue written by Kristian Williams and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's begin with the basics: violence is an inherent part of policing. The police represent the most direct means by which the state imposes its will on the citizenry. They are armed, trained, and authorized to use force. Like the possibility of arrest, the threat of violence is implicit in every police encounter. Violence, as well as the law, is what they represent. Using media reports alone, the Cato Institute's last annual study listed nearly seven thousand victims of police "misconduct" in the United States. But such stories of police brutality only scratch the surface of a national epidemic. Every year, tens of thousands are framed, blackmailed, beaten, sexually assaulted, or killed by cops. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on civil judgments and settlements annually. Individual lives, families, and communities are destroyed. In this extensively revised and updated edition of his seminal study of policing in the United States, Kristian Williams shows that police brutality isn't an anomaly, but is built into the very meaning of law enforcement in the United States. From antebellum slave patrols to today's unarmed youth being gunned down in the streets, "peace keepers" have always used force to shape behavior, repress dissent, and defend the powerful. Our Enemies in Blue is a well-researched page-turner that both makes historical sense of this legalized social pathology and maps out possible alternatives.

Download or read book Dr Erwin Mind Travel written by Hugh Touchai and published by Hugh Touchai. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Erwin Mind Travel: Sphere of the Pacific is a fast-paced, scientifically grounded, and intellectually captivating space opera that explores the boundaries of human consciousness and the possibilities of advanced technology. With a thrilling narrative that seamlessly blends cutting-edge science with imaginative storytelling, the book takes readers on a journey through time, space, and the very fabric of reality. The Dr Erwin series is not just another time-travel story—it’s an exploration of cutting-edge quantum technology and the depths of human consciousness, offering a scientifically plausible path to Mind Travel Technology. The series promises breathtaking visual storytelling, from awe-inspiring views of the cosmos and the solar system’s vast wonders to alien landscapes that evoke a sense of mystery and grandeur. These otherworldly realms are as vivid as they are uncharted, filled with unknown civilisations and surreal natural phenomena. Unlike traditional time-travel stories, Dr Erwin Mind Travel is rooted in real scientific theory, which I’ve detailed extensively in Sphere of the Pacific. Dr Erwin Mind Travel: Sphere of the Pacific opens with Dr Erwin’s dramatic return from the Nexus System after an eighty-six-million-year journey, only to find Earth in crisis. This gripping premise sets the stage for a high-stakes narrative which begins on Earth in 2052. While only two years have passed on Earth, Dr Erwin has spent twenty years in the Nexus system, a place he had seen in his dreams. These dreams compelled him to build the Mind Travel technology, and once it was completed, he sent his mind to a location that no longer existed in the present-day Earth timeline but had once existed in the distant past. His return to Earth was not by choice but a matter of survival. Escaping the ruthless pursuit of his nemesis, Zoran Silver—the Siliconian Emperor with a steely vendetta—Erwin narrowly made it back to Earth. However, much had changed in his absence, and upon his return, he faced a new crisis, one closer to home. This existential threat was an unintended consequence of his journey to the Nexus system; by interfering in the past, he had inadvertently endangered Earth and all its inhabitants, as Zoran caught up with him in the present. On Earth, Erwin had once been revered as an experimental physicist, a pioneer who ventured beyond the boundaries of known science. His groundbreaking invention allowed human consciousness to be transported into the past, offering a glimpse of history firsthand. Visionaries and investors flocked to him, eager to explore the extraordinary opportunities. The promise was profound: anyone could embark on immersive journeys to witness pivotal historical moments or relive cherished memories, experiencing lifetimes while their physical bodies rested in hyper-sleep chambers powered by quantum mind-travel technology. Yet reality diverged sharply from Dr Erwin’s vision. His invention, which held the potential for profound discovery, unleashed consequences he had not anticipated. In his quest to unlock the secrets of time, Erwin created ripples that disrupted the very fabric of reality, sending shockwaves across the cosmos with unpredictable and far-reaching effects. Across the galaxy, Dr Erwin had earned a new name: the Observer. Whispered in hushed tones, the Observer had become a symbol of defiance against Zoran Silver, the Siliconian Emperor, who ruled with an iron fist. Erwin’s resistance had made him a beacon of hope for those suffering under the Empire’s oppressive rule. Despite the Empire’s vast technological power, the Observer wielded a different kind of strength—the belief in transformation and the resilience of the galactic spirit.
Download or read book Time and Social Theory written by Barbara Adam and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is at the forefront of contemporary scholarly inquiry across the natural sciences and the humanities. Yet the social sciences have remained substantially isolated from time-related concerns. This book argues that time should be a key part of social theory and focuses concern upon issues which have emerged as central to an understanding of today's social world. Through her analysis of time Barbara Adam shows that our contemporary social theories are firmly embedded in Newtonian science and classical dualistic philosophy. She exposes these classical frameworks of thought as inadequate to the task of conceptualizing our contemporary world of standardized time, computers, nuclear power and global telecommunications.
