Download or read book Transmutation written by Alex DiFrancesco and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transgressive, transformative short stories that explore the margins of trans lives. Building on the success of All City, here is a wry, and at the same time dark and risk-taking, story collection from author (and baker) Alex DiFrancesco that pushes the boundaries of transgender awareness and filial bonds. Here is the hate between 16-year-old Junie, who is transitioning, and their mom's boyfriend Chad when the family moves into Chad's house on Lake Erie. And here is the love being tested between Sawyer and his dad, who named his boat after his child and resists changing it from Sara to Sawyer now. There is DiFrancesco's willingness to enter lands that are violent and comfortless in some of these stories, testing the limits of what it means to be human, sometimes returning stronger and wiser and sometimes not returning at all as their characters surge forward into unknown spaces. DiFrancesco's first novel All City (Seven Stories 2019) was praised by Publishers Weekly as a "loving, grieving warning [that] thoughtfully traces the resilience, fragility, and joy of precarious communities in an immediate, compassionate voice." All City was one of BookRiot's "Best Post-Apocalyptic Books of 2019," Entropy Mag's "Best of 2019," and Largehearted Boy's "Favorite Novels of 2019." It was a finalist for the 2019 Ohioana Book Award for Fiction.

Download or read book Sexual Energy Transmutation written by Jay Onwukwe and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-06-21 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intense desire for physical sexual contact, just like any other intense and passionate desire, is potent creative energy seeking expression or outlet. That self-same creative potency projecting as tumultuous sex drive or sexual energy can become Intellectual energy, Money energy, Political energy, Professional energy, Sports energy, Spiritual energy, or whatever type of energy you need at any point in time. Indeed, the creative powers of sex transcend procreation. Unfortunately, many men being unaware unknowingly dissipate, and thus fail to avail themselves of the innate superlative powers of their abundant sex drive; and this is one primary cause of mediocrity.Sex, the carnal root of Man's generation, can be the source of his degeneration, yet holds the key to his regeneration. When properly harnessed, the primordial powers of sex and its creative essences that initiate all earthly existence can be used to achieve anything you want. This book tells you how.

Download or read book Isaac Newton and the Transmutation of Alchemy written by Philip Ashley Fanning and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2009-07-07 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isaac Newton was a dedicated alchemist, a fact usually obscured as unsuited to his stature as a leader of the scientific revolution. Author Philip Ashley Fanning has diligently examined the evidence and concludes that the two major aspects of Newton’s research—conventional science and alchemy—were actually inseparable. In Isaac Newton and the Transmutation of Alchemy, Fanning reveals the surprisingly profound influence that Newton’s study of this hermetic art had in shaping his widely adopted scientific concepts. Alchemy was an ancient tradition of speculative philosophy that promised miraculous powers, such as the ability to change base metals into gold and the possibility of a universal solvent or elixir of life. Fanning compellingly describes this carefully tended esoteric institution, which may have found its greatest advocate in the career of the father of modern science. Relegated to the fringes of discourse until its twentieth-century revival by innovative thinkers such as psychiatrist Carl Jung, alchemy offers a key to understanding both the foundations of modern knowledge and important avenues in which we may yet discover wisdom.

Download or read book Stages of Transmutation written by Tom Idema and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stages of Transmutation: Science Fiction, Biology, and Environmental Posthumanism develops the theoretical perspective of environmental posthumanism through analyses of acclaimed science fiction novels by Greg Bear, Octavia Butler, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Jeff VanderMeer, in which the human species suddenly transforms in response to new or changing environments. Narrating dramatic ecological events of human-to-nonhuman encounter, invasion, and transmutation, these novels allow the reader to understand the planet as an unstable stage for evolution and the human body as a home for bacteria and viruses. Idema argues that by drawing tension from biological theories of interaction and emergence (e.g. symbiogenesis, epigenetics), these works unsettle conventional relations among characters, technologies, story-worlds, and emplotment, refiguring the psychosocial work of the novel as always already biophysical. Problematizing a desire to compartmentalize and control life as the property of human subjects, these novels imagine life as an environmentally mediated, staged event that enlists human and nonhuman actors. Idema demonstrates how literary narratives of transmutation render biological lessons of environmental instability and ecological interdependence both meaningful and urgent—a vital task in a time of mass extinction, hyperpollution, and climate change. This volume is an important intervention for scholars of the environmental humanities, posthumanism, literature and science, and science and technology studies.
Download or read book Nuclear Wastes written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-02-23 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disposal of radioactive waste from nuclear weapons production and power generation has caused public outcry and political consternation. Nuclear Wastes presents a critical review of some waste management and disposal alternatives to the current national policy of direct disposal of light water reactor spent fuel. The book offers clearcut conclusions for what the nation should do today and what solutions should be explored for tomorrow. The committee examines the currently used "once-through" fuel cycle versus different alternatives of separations and transmutation technology systems, by which hazardous radionuclides are converted to nuclides that are either stable or radioactive with short half-lives. The volume provides detailed findings and conclusions about the status and feasibility of plutonium extraction and more advanced separations technologies, as well as three principal transmutation concepts for commercial reactor spent fuel. The book discusses nuclear proliferation; the U.S. nuclear regulatory structure; issues of health, safety and transportation; the proposed sale of electrical energy as a means of paying for the transmutation system; and other key issues.

Book excerpt: In a near-future New York City in which both global warming and a tremendous economic divide are making the city unlivable for many, a huge superstorm hits, leaving behind only those who had nowhere else to go and no way to get out. Makayla is a twenty-four-year-old woman who works at the convenience store chain that’s taken over the city. Jesse, an eighteen-year-old, genderqueer, anarchist punk lives in an abandoned IRT station in the Bronx. Their paths cross in the aftermath of the storm when they, along with others devastated by the loss of their homes, carve out a small sanctuary in an abandoned luxury condo. In an attempt to bring hope to those who feel forsaken, an unnamed, mysterious street artist begins graffitiing colorful murals along the sides of buildings. But the castaways of the storm aren’t the only ones who find beauty in the art. When the media begins broadcasting the emergence of the murals and one appears on the building Makayla, Jesse, and their friends are living in, it is only a matter of time before those who own the building come back to claim what is theirs. All City is more than a novel, it’s a foreshadowing of the world to come.

Download or read book Secret Power written by Mark E Wilkins, PhD and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When driven by extreme energy transmutation, man develops the finely tuned qualities of imagination, courage, willpower, persistence, and creative ability, previously unknown to him. So strong and compelling is this extreme energy, that a man freely runs the risk of life and reputation. Yet, a man will, at times, forsake his family, friends, careers, and his freedom over this power. If you understand and learn to transmute this incredible energy, you too, can take full advantage of this ageless secret When this extreme energy is harnessed and redirected, this motivating force maintains all of its powerful attributes of imagination, courage, willpower, persistence, and creative ability. Which is then used as powerful creative forces in literature, art, careers, goals, athletic acumen or in any other desires or goals. This also includes the accumulation of wealth, power and health. The transmutation of extreme energy calls for the exercise of strong willpower, but the reward is worth the effort. Here are some of the more famous people who have used this energy transmutation to achieve their fame and success: GEORGE WASHINGTON, MARIA DE NAGLOWSKA, THOMAS JEFFERSON, DANTE ALIGHIERI, NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, ELBERT HUBBARD, WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, BEETHOVEN, ELBERT H. GARY, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, WOODROW WILSON, HENRY THOREAU, LEONARDO DA VINCI, RALPH WALDO EMERSON, JOHN H. PATTERSON, NIKOLA TESLA, ROBERT BURNS, JOAN OF ARC, ANDREW JACKSON, GANDHI, RICHARD WAGNER AND MORE RECENTLY, JFK, MOTHER TERESA, ANDY WARHOL, STEVE JOBS, AND BILL CLINTON Anyone with the desire, large or small can practice and benefit from this extreme energy transmutation. This is also a practice that suits anyone of any spiritual or religious persuasion to heighten awareness mentally. But practice is essential. Like learning to play the piano, yeah you can hit the keys but it takes much practice to create wonderful music. The Most Common Benefits of Transmutation of this Energy Include: ✓ High mental focus and mental clarity ✓ Increased creativity, whether music, art or design ✓ Incredible drive and motivation ✓ A super boost of physical energy ✓ Heightened level of self-esteem and confidence ✓ Improved happiness and mood ✓ Absolute ability to manifest your desired change ✓ Boosting of your self-awareness ✓ Intense spiritual awareness and experiences My objective with this book is to reduce the unknown to the known. Simple, straight forward writing without the fluff, padding and hyperbole that so many writers use to dance around the facts, and make a 300-page book. This is a short, sweet, enlightening, Keep It Simple Stupid, entertaining instructional booklet to get you started fast in finding the shocking truth about the real powers you possess and how to implement them. The person who does not recognize this important truth deprives himself of the power which has done more to help men achieve success than all other forces combine. This book is for the individual who knows they has more potential but lacks the knowledge to bring their genius out of hiding.
Download or read book Transmutations of Desire written by Qiancheng Li and published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the West, love occupies center stage in the modern age, whether in art, intellectual life, or the economic life. We may observe a similar development in China, on its own impetus, which has resulted in this characteristic of modernity--this feature of modern life has been securely and unambiguously established, not the least facilitated by the thriving of literature about qing, whether in traditional or modern forms. Qiancheng Li concentrates on the nuances of a similar trend manifested in the Chinese context. The emphasis is on critical readings of the texts that have shaped this trend, including important Ming- and Qing-dynasty works of drama, Buddhist texts and other religious/philosophical works, in all their subtlety and evocative power. "The power of qing or strong emotion is a major theme in late imperial Chinese literature--some writers asserting that it can transcend even life itself. Qiancheng Li surveys a number of seventeenth-century philosophical, religious, and literary texts to elucidate the metaphysical aspects of emotional attachment and of sexual desire in particular. Through his broad and penetrating reading, Li demonstrates incontrovertibly how, to seventeenth-century writers, qing and religion were inextricably linked. To those writers, qing could bring enlightenment, and certainly Li’s study enlightens its readers to new levels of complexity in major literary works of that period. Transmutations of Desire sets a major new milestone in the study of traditional Chinese culture."--Robert E. Hegel, Washington University in St. Louis
Download or read book Transmutation Operators and Applications written by Vladislav V. Kravchenko and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transmutation operators in differential equations and spectral theory can be used to reveal the relations between different problems, and often make it possible to transform difficult problems into easier ones. Accordingly, they represent an important mathematical tool in the theory of inverse and scattering problems, of ordinary and partial differential equations, integral transforms and equations, special functions, harmonic analysis, potential theory, and generalized analytic functions. This volume explores recent advances in the construction and applications of transmutation operators, while also sharing some interesting historical notes on the subject.
Download or read book Rethinking World History written by Marshall G. S. Hodgson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-05-28 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the history of the modern world the history of Europe writ large? Or is it possible to situate the history of modernity as a world historical process apart from its origins in Western Europe? In this posthumous collection of essays, Marshall G. S. Hodgson challenges adherents of both Eurocentrism and multiculturalism to rethink the place of Europe in world history. He argues that the line that connects Ancient Greeks to the Renaissance to modern times is an optical illusion, and that a global and Asia-centred history can better locate the European experience in the shared histories of humanity. Hodgson then shifts the historical focus and in a parallel move seeks to locate the history of Islamic civilisation in a world historical framework. In so doing he concludes that there is but one history - global history - and that all partial or privileged accounts must necessarily be resituated in a world historical context. The book also includes an introduction by the editor, Edmund Burke, contextualising Hodgson's work in world history and Islamic history.
