Book excerpt: From the mundane life of washed up scientist, Morgan Blanchard is permanently changed when three mysterious men seek her help in an experiment to unravel the secrets of human longevity. It all goes wrong and they race against time to get to the depths of the Earth. She takes the name Sagira Chephira as they flee the life of Morgan. Sagira must change the way she thinks about the world when her humanity hangs in the balance. An orphan to the human race, she must accept new cultures, and adapt to curious changes that take place within her. She is catapulted into a radically new role as she fulfils a prophecy of greatness without a clue. Her adventures take her to the inner earth, where she meets many of Earth's hidden citizens. The small group of travelers must find a Matron determined to kill them, and the stakes get higher when they realize there is more to Sagira than meets the eye. Relationships are forged and boundaries are broken while she modifies and yet holds on to the most important human value through it all-love.

Download or read book Terrestrial Lessons written by Sumathi Ramaswamy and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why and how do debates about the form and disposition of our Earth shape enlightened subjectivity and secular worldliness in colonial modernity? Sumathi Ramaswamy explores this question for British India with the aid of the terrestrial globe, which since the sixteenth century has circulated as a worldly symbol, a scientific instrument, and not least an educational tool for inculcating planetary consciousness. In Terrestrial Lessons, Ramaswamy provides the first in-depth analysis of the globe’s history in and impact on the Indian subcontinent during the colonial era and its aftermath. Drawing on a wide array of archival sources, she delineates its transformation from a thing of distinction possessed by elite men into that mass-produced commodity used in classrooms worldwide—the humble school globe. Traversing the length and breadth of British India, Terrestrial Lessons is an unconventional history of this master object of pedagogical modernity that will fascinate historians of cartography, science, and Asian studies.
Download or read book Life on Earth and other Planetary Bodies written by Arnold Hanslmeier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-29 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A trio of editors [Professors from Austria, Germany and Israel] present Life on Earth and other Planetary Bodies. The contributors are from twenty various countries and present their research on life here as well as the possibility for extraterrestrial life. This volume covers concepts such as life’s origin, hypothesis of Panspermia and of life possibility in the Cosmos. The topic of extraterrestrial life is currently ‘hot’ and the object of several congresses and conferences. While the diversity of “normal” biota is well known, life on the edge of the extremophiles is more limited and less distributed. Other subjects discussed are Astrobiology with the frozen worlds of Mars, Europa and Titan where extant or extinct microbial life may exist in subsurface oceans; conditions on icy Mars with its saline, alkaline, and liquid water which has been recently discovered; chances of habitable Earth-like [or the terrestrial analogues] exoplanets; and SETI’s search for extraterrestrial Intelligence.
Download or read book Fathers and Sons in Cinema written by Gershon Reiter and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2008-06-02 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular American films are replete with story lines which involve the father-son relationship, often as the pivotal conflict or dragon which a hero must overcome to achieve success. Sometimes these conflicts are straightforward; other times they are projections of the central character's unconscious becoming conscious--in essence a modern form of myth. These American "filmmyths" serve as a visual means to project the psyche in an entertaining and easily accessible manner. Focusing on mythic structure, this volume explores 12 popular movies that deal with various aspects of the father-son relationship including the process of becoming a father, absent fathers, the rite of passage, and the turmoil between fathers and adolescents. Films examined include The Wizard of Oz, Back to the Future, Stand By Me, Red River, City Slickers, North by Northwest, E.T. the Extraterrestrial, Field of Dreams, Lone Star, The Lion King, Jurassic Park and The Searchers.
