This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evil Peeks Through My Tinted Glass Window: A Jamaican Story Bobbie Redstone, an attractive, diminutive, strong-willed, and feisty woman, meets her match when she leaves her high-powered job in Kingston, Jamaica, to start her own business in a small backward seaside town. Not only does she meet her match in the larger-than-life Evil Sorcerer (who is big, bold and loud, yet ugly and attractive in the same sentence), but she gets caught up in a life totally different from anything she ever knew. Bobbie gets ensnared in the lives and bizarre stories of Evil Sorcerer and some prominent townsfolk, including her own father. She is mesmerised by Evil as much as Evil is mesmerised by her. Their worlds collide when she finds Evil peeking through the tinted glass window of her office, and their lives will never be the same, because Evil is intent on terrorising Bobbie, who is bold and unafraid of anyone, and is able to stand up to her and all her wicked wiles.
Download or read book Frosted Glass written by Sabarna Roy and published by One Point Six Technology Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frosted Glass comprises one story cycle consisting of 14 stories and one poem cycle consisting of 21 poems. The Stories, set in Calcutta, bring to the fore the darkness lurking in the human psyche and bare the baser instincts. The stories, compactly written and marked by insightly dialogues that raise contemporary issues like man-woman relationships and its strains, moral and ethics, environmental degradation, class inequality, rapid and mass-scale unmindful urbanisation, are devoid of sentimentalisation. The result is they remained focused and move around the central character who is named Rahul in all the stories. We encounter the events that shape, mar, guide Rahul's life and also the lives of those around him, making us question the very essence of existence. Rahul symbolises modern man; he is not just one character, but all of us rolled into one. The story cycle stands out for two reasons - its brilliant narrative and the dispassionate style with which betrayal in personal relationships and resultant loneliness has been handled. The poems weave a maze of dreams, images, reflections and stories. They are written in a reflective and many a time in a narrative tenor within a poetic idiom. The poems are inseparable in a hidden way and are magically sequenced like various kinds of flowers in a garland or chapters of differing shades in a novel. Calcutta features in some of the poems like the looming backdrop of Gotham City in a Batman movie.
Download or read book Space Exploration A History in 100 Objects written by Sten Odenwald and published by The Experiment. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is no ordinary space book. Within the pages of this eclectic pop-history, scientist and educator Sten Odenwald at NASA examines 100 objects that forever altered what we know and how we think about the cosmos. From Sputnik to Skylab and Galileo’s telescope to the Curiosity rover, some objects are iconic and some obscure—but all are utterly important. The Nebra sky disk (1600 BCE) features the first realistic depiction of the Sun, Moon, and stars. The Lunar Laser Ranging RetroReflector finally showed us how far we are from the Moon in 1969. In 1986, it was the humble, rubber O-ring that doomed the space shuttle Challenger. The Event Horizon Telescope gave us our first glimpse of a black hole in 2019. These 100 objects, as Odenwald puts it, showcase “the workhorse tools and game-changing technologies that have altered the course of space history . . . the tools and devices that, taken together, represent the major scientific discoveries—and celebrate the human ingenuity—of space technology, showing the ways physics and engineering have brought about our greatest leaps in understanding the way our universe works. . . . They make it clear that we have made giant strides in our quest to search ever more deeply into the farthest reaches of the universe—and behind each new discovery is an object that expands our appreciation of space as well as the boundless imagination and resourcefulness we carry within us.”
Download or read book Metaphor and Cognition written by B. Indurkhya and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many metaphors go beyond pionting to the existing similarities between two objects -- they create the similarities. Such metaphors, which have been relegated to the back seat in most of the cognitive science research, are the focus of attention in this study, which addresses the creation of similarity within an elaborately laid out interactive framework of cognition. Starting from the constructivist views of Nelson Goodman and Jean Piaget, this framework resolves an apparent paradox in interactionism: how can reality not have a mind-independent ontology and structure, but still manage to constrain the possible worlds a cognitive agent can create in it? A comprehensive theory of metaphor is proposed in this framework that explains how metaphors can create similarities, and why such metaphors are an invaluable asset to cognition. The framework is then applied to related issues of analogical reasoning, induction, and computational modeling of creative metaphors.
