Book excerpt: "The Gathering Cloud collates research into the history and language of meteorology with current thinking about data storage and climate change. Archival material from the Met Office Archive and Library in Exeter has been studied and sifted, along with classical, medieval, and Victorian sources, including, in particular, Luke Howard's classic essay On the Modifications of Clouds, first published in 1803. This research material is presented as a sequence of texts and images, acting both as a primer to the ideas behind the project and as a document of its movement between formats, from the data centre to the illuminated screen, from the live performance to the printed page. In his foreword media theorist Jussi Parikka describes the work as "a series of material transformations made visible through a media history executed as digital collage and print publication, hendecasyllabic verse, and critical essay"."--Publisher's website.

Book excerpt: After a special study of many Biblical texts, the authors stated that, as a result of this study, their faith was much stronger. They were encouraged to write about these texts and share their findings with fellow Christians. From the responses they received, the authors were convinced that it was these scripture texts themselves that were crying out, Share our message with all believers everywhere! They then recognized, in hundreds of texts, the formation of Six Clouds of witnesses -- stories that demanded to be heard. From these Clouds came three things: a clearer understanding of the heart of God, the coherent message of the coming Messiah, and the strong testimony of the witnesses of Jesus, the Risen Messiah, victorious over death. This book is dedicated to letting God's word do the strengthening of every reader's faith -- in God and in Jesus, the Risen Messiah.

Brandon Sanderson,New York Timesbestselling author of the Mistborn books, was chosen by Jordan’s editor---his wife, Harriet McDougal---to complete the final book.

In this epic novel, Robert Jordan’s international bestselling series begins its dramatic conclusion. Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn, struggles to unite a fractured network of kingdoms and alliances in preparation for the Last Battle. As he attempts to halt the Seanchan encroachment northward---wishing he could form at least a temporary truce with the invaders---his allies watch in terror the shadow that seems to be growing within the heart of the Dragon Reborn himself. Egwene al’Vere, the Amyrlin Seat of the rebel Aes Sedai, is a captive of the White Tower and subject to the whims of their tyrannical leader. As days tick toward the Seanchan attack she knows is imminent, Egwene works to hold together the disparate factions of Aes Sedai while providing leadership in the face of increasing uncertainty and despair. Her fight will prove the mettle of the Aes Sedai, and her conflict will decide the future of the White Tower---and possibly the world itself. The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.

Missouri is a network of great rivers and magnificent streams. Scott grew up hunting and fishing on the rivers and in the Ozark Hills of Missouri. Scott's story takes you through his early years, through his youth when he played high school basketball and was a cowboy in the rodeo, and into adulthood when he eventually left Missouri and crossed the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim with a friend as he headed out West, to California, to pursue the American dream.

Download or read book The Tower and the Cloud written by Richard N. Katz and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The emergence of the networked information economy is unleashing two powerful forces. On one hand, easy access to high-speed networks is empowering individuals. People can now discover and consume information resources and services globally from their homes. Further, new social computing approaches are inviting people to share in the creation and edification of information on the Internet. Empowerment of the individual -- or consumerization -- is reducing the individual's reliance on traditional brick-and-mortar institutions in favor of new and emerging virtual ones. Second, ubiquitous access to high-speed networks along with network standards, open standards and content, and techniques for virtualizing hardware, software, and services is making it possible to leverage scale economies in unprecedented ways. What appears to be emerging is industrial-scale computing -- a standardized infrastructure for delivering computing power, network bandwidth, data storage and protection, and services. Comsumerization and industrialization beg the question "Is this the end of the middle?"; that is, what will be the role of "enterprise" IT in the future? Indeed, the bigger question is what will become of all of our intermediating institutions? This volume examines the impact of IT on higher education and on the IT organization in higher education." -Web site blurb.
Download or read book An Ocean of Static written by J. R. Carpenter and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late 15th century onwards, a flurry of voyages were made into the North Atlantic in search of fish, the fabled Northwest Passage, and beyond into the territories purely imaginary. Today, this vast expanse is crisscrossed with ocean and wind currents, submarine cables and wireless signals, seabirds and passengers, static and cargo ships. In her long-awaited poetry debut, award-winning digital writer and artist J.R. Carpenter transforms the dense, fragmented archive of the North Atlantic into an astonishing sea of fresh new text. Cartographic and maritime vernaculars inflected with the syntax and grammar of ships logs and code languages splinter and pulse across the page. Haunting, politically charged and formally innovative, An Ocean of Static presents an ever-shifting array of variables. Amid global currents of melting sea ice and changing ocean currents, Carpenter charts the elusive passages of women and animals, of indigenous people and migrants, of strange noises and phantom islands.

Download or read book Gathering Clouds written by Betty Benson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-10-28 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gathering Clouds combines historical reality with psychological drama. Betty Benson illuminates the global events and social mores of this pre-war time through the lives of her characters. They are teachers and students at a Junior College and each carries his or her own struggle with identity and desire. The book opens at the infamous 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany, a period before the full Nazi agenda would be known. It takes the reader to the brutal invasion of Poland, the bombings of London, the mosquito infested jungles of Burma and closes with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Most of the psychological intrigue takes place outside of Cleveland, Ohio and in Cape May, New Jersey, where sexual allusion, complete with taboos and frustration, prove more exciting than the sexual explicitness of today. This book shows beautifully the intersection of biography with international decisions and allows the reader a glimpse into how private dilemmas are strongly affected by world politics.

Download or read book Places that the map can t contain Poetics in the Anthropocene written by Julia Fiedorczuk and published by V&R unipress. This book was released on 2023-07-10 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by Lynn Keller’s notion of “the self-conscious Anthropocene,” the book sets out to consider poetry as a privileged space for rethinking our basic epistemological assumptions. Poetry does not have the kind of agency a direct political intervention has; in fact, as W. H. Auden famously put it, “poetry makes nothing happen.” On the other hand, poetry is crucial when it comes to awakening our individual and collective imagination. Considering the statement by Lawrence Buell that the current ecological crisis is, in the first place, a crisis of the imagination, this function of poetry comes through as particularly important.
