Download or read book Borealis written by Aisha Sabatini Sloan and published by Coffee House Press. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art about glaciers, queer relationships, political anxiety, and the meaning of Blackness in open space—Borealis is a shapeshifting logbook of Aisha Sabatini Sloan’s experiences moving through the Alaskan outdoors. In Borealis, Aisha Sabatini Sloan observes shorelines, mountains, bald eagles, and Black fellow travelers while feeling menaced by the specter of nature writing. She considers the meaning of open spaces versus enclosed ones and maps out the web of queer relationships that connect her to this quaint Alaskan town. Triangulating the landscapes she moves through with glacial backdrops in the work of Black conceptual artists and writers, Sabatini Sloan complicates tropes of Alaska to suggest that the excitement, exploration, and possibility of myth-making can also be twinned by isolation, anxiety, and boredom. Borealis is the first book commissioned for the Spatial Species series, edited by Youmna Chlala and Ken Chen. The series investigates the ways we activate space through language. In the tradition of Georges Perec’s An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris, Spatial Species titles are pocket-sized editions, each keenly focused on place. Instead of tourist spots and public squares, we encounter unmarked, noncanonical spaces: edges, alleyways, diasporic traces. Such intimate journeying requires experiments in language and genre, moving travelogue, fiction, or memoir into something closer to eating, drinking, and dreaming.

Download or read book Observers of the Aurora Borealis in Europe written by Eric Chassefiere and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-07-12 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spectacular reappearance of the aurora borealis at the beginning of the 18th century, often observed simultaneously from different observatories in Europe, mobilized and federated a large community of astronomers on a European scale. It encouraged them to communicate the results of their observations and, in compiling exhaustive catalogs of information, has helped to establish a system of the aurora borealis that can be further studied in the future, according to the experimental method inherited from the previous century. This book is dedicated to some of the main aurora observers in Europe and to the human, institutional and philosophical context in which they evolved in the first half of the 18th century. Its reading should be seen as a retrospective journey through the scholarly world of the Enlightenment, during which the same scholars are frequently encountered and reencountered, yet each time in different contexts, or from different angles, with the aim of compiling an account of the swarming of ideas and encounters that constituted the development of experimental science in this pivotal period.

Download or read book The Pilots of Borealis written by David Nabhan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Top Gun heads to outer space in this throwback to the classic science fiction of Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein. Strapped in to artificial wings spanning twenty-five feet across, your arms push a tenth of your body weight with each pump as you propel yourself at frightening speeds through the air. Inside a pressurized dome on the Moon, subject to one-sixth Earth’s gravity, there are swarms of chiseled, fearless, superbly trained flyers all around you, jostling for air space like peregrine falcons racing for the prize. This was the sport of piloting, and after Helium-3, piloting was one of the first things that entered anyone’s mind when Borealis was mentioned. It was Helium-3 that powered humanity’s far-flung civilization expansion, feeding fusion reactors from the Alliances on Earth to the Terran Ring, Mars, the Jovian colonies, and all the way out to distant Titan. The supply, taken from the surface of the Moon, had once seemed endless. But that was long ago. Borealis, the glittering, fabulously rich city stretched out across the lunar North Pole, had amassed centuries of unimaginable wealth harvesting it, and as such was the first to realize that its supplies were running out. The distant memories of the horrific planetwide devastation spawned by the petroleum wars were not enough to quell the rising energy and political crises. A new war to rival no other appeared imminent, but the solar system’s competing powers would discover something more powerful than Helium-3: the indomitable spirit of an Earth-born, war-weary mercenary and pilot extraordinaire.

Download or read book Borealis That Syncing Feeling written by Michelle Levigne and published by Desert Breeze Publishing In. This book was released on 2011-10-15 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the other side of a space anomaly, Rover Pilot Nureen Keala came face-to-face with her childhood hero. Problem: Creed died fifty years ago in a devastating space battle. Telepathically linked with a shapeshifting creature named Tessur, Nureen had to get her scout craft repaired and get off the Borealis, but she wasn't sure who she could trust. Certainly not this Tedrin Creed look-alike, and maybe not even Tessur. Forget the TPP. Tedrin Creed had been stuck on the Borealis five years, after falling through the space anomaly during a massive battle. He doubted Nureen's claim to be a Rover -- the uniform and technology were totally wrong. Problem: she sure reminded him of his best friend, "Killer" Keala. Bigger problem: the anomaly was closing, time was running out, and he had to convince someone he didn't quite trust to escape with him now -- or never.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 2,0 (B), University of Applied Sciences Essen (MBA International Financial Management Program), course: Startegic Management Accounting, language: English, abstract: Borealis is the outcome of a merger of the petrochemical divisions of Statoil Norway and Neste Oy Finland in 1994. It is a fully integrated and the biggest European polyolefins producer with production plants in different European countries and it’s head office in Copenhagen / Denmark. Directly after the merger Borealis had to create a common budget for the combined entity. The separate budgets of Statoil and Neste in the past had the traditional purposes of budgets: make planning and controlling easier for the management. The head of budgeting of Neste Oy became head of corporate control of Borealis and he was willing to leave the traditional budgeting behind and replace it by a new and innovative management steering approach with different purposes. During a period of three years he abandoned the traditional budgeting process and replaced it by a conglomerate of different management tools. This case describes the reason why and how it came to the different budgeting approach and what kind of concept was implemented instead of the traditional budgeting process. It also includes the hopes, which the Borealis management had with the different approach and the results of it. In the following shall be discussed what the advantages and the disadvantages of the new financial and steering system are compared with the abandoned budgeting system either from a theoretical and practical point of view. For this discussion the traditional budgeting process is described in the first place. It includes the budgeting process within Borealis and in theory. Then the new approach of Borealis is described in part 3. In part 4. the advantages will be discussed and in part 5 the disadvantages will be figured out and discussed. In the last part a conclusion will be done, which will try to judge if the new financial and steering approach within Borealis does really achieve it’s expected purposes compared with the abandoned budgeting system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn about the science of the Aurora Borealis with iMinds insightful knowledge series. The aurora borealis, often referred to as the northern lights, is a natural light-show that appears in the sky around the north magnetic pole. Auroras can sometimes be seen in other places of the world, but not as clearly. In the southern hemisphere, the phenomenon is called "aurora australis." The aurora borealis occurs because of an interaction between solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field. When the sun's gases explode, some of the particles are blown away in a phenomenon known as solar wind. The particles in the solar wind travel at speeds of over 600,000 miles per hour and take two to three days to reach the Earth. iMinds brings targeted knowledge to your eReading device with short information segments to whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.
