Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1687 Isaac Newton ushered in a new scientific era in which laws of nature could be used to predict the movements of matter with almost perfect precision. Newton's physics also posed a profound challenge to our self-understanding, however, for the very same laws that keep airplanes in the air and rivers flowing downhill tell us that it is in principle possible to predict what each of us will do every second of our entire lives, given the early conditions of the universe. Can it really be that even while you toss and turn late at night in the throes of an important decision and it seems like the scales of fate hang in the balance, that your decision is a foregone conclusion? Can it really be that everything you have done and everything you ever will do is determined by facts that were in place long before you were born? This problem is one of the staples of philosophical discussion. It is discussed by everyone from freshman in their first philosophy class, to theoretical physicists in bars after conferences. And yet there is no topic that remains more unsettling, and less well understood. If you want to get behind the façade, past the bare statement of determinism, and really try to understand what physics is telling us in its own terms, read this book. The problem of free will raises all kinds of questions. What does it mean to make a decision, and what does it mean to say that our actions are determined? What are laws of nature? What are causes? What sorts of things are we, when viewed through the lenses of physics, and how do we fit into the natural order? Ismael provides a deeply informed account of what physics tells us about ourselves. The result is a vision that is abstract, alien, illuminating, and-Ismael argues-affirmative of most of what we all believe about our own freedom. Written in a jargon-free style, How Physics Makes Us Free provides an accessible and innovative take on a central question of human existence.

Download or read book Ismael and His Sisters written by Louise Stern and published by Granta Books. This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siblings Ismael, Rosie and Cristina are deaf, and so are many in their Maya village. The deaf and hearing alike communicate in sign language, forming a tightly-knit community with an unsophisticated, simple lifestyle. But when Ismael gets into a fight at the local fiesta and flees the village, leaving Rosie and Cristina to fend for themselves, the daily rhythms of village life are disrupted, and all that they trust in comes under threat. Ismael and His Sisters is a remarkable debut novel from the acclaimed author of Chattering. It conjures up a world set apart, made visceral through its concentrated language, where sign language bridges exterior and interior worlds and gives a physical shape to the way we experience the world. It explores the interplay between the powerful forces within us and the dark elemental forces beyond our control, exposing the 'bottomless, hostile ocean' in which we all flounder. This is an extraordinary novel about the power of familial bonds, the barriers we build out of language, the dark elemental forces that threaten to overwhelm us, and above all, what it is like to be human.

Download or read book The Secret Government written by Ismael Perez and published by . This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his shocking book, The Secret Government, author Ismael Perez exposes the existence and purpose of a secret society which has been in existence since pre-Biblical times. Perez uncovers a secret government, an underground society of the worlds most influential leaders, working together to form one government. The society, known by many as The Secret Government, includes world leaders, politicians, religious organizations, corporations, and some of the most influential families in history. Its purpose is to mold world events, using calamities, assassinations, diseases, terrorism, and political elections, in their quest for world domination and control. They have been the power behind most of the worlds empires and institutions and have maintained their stronghold over the earth through secrecy, conspiracy, manipulation, division and wars.Taking the reader through history, Ismael Perez exposes the workings of this dark, hidden hand society as they attempt to bring all nations under their control. From the days of Adam and Eve, their bloodline has evolved and is currently behind the economic, political, and social corruption facing the world today. The Secret Government reveals the real reasons behind the 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the assassinations of presidents, as well as their method of economic dominance through control of the worlds banking system. From the highest echelons of world organizations, Perez provides proof that this dark brotherhood exists in the United Nations, the pharmaceutical companies, in organized religion, as well as the political arena.Years of research performed by Perez and other truth seekers bring these undeniable truths to light. It is time to familiarize ourselves with the meaning of the great awakening in relationship to the declining power of the dark forces. The great awakening has long been prophesied, and its taking place for many people who are becoming aware. The disclosure of the oppressive forces will be a great step in the awakening process, states Perez. Through The Secret Government, he shows us how we can use this information to change our future and prepare for the final conflict between Good and Evil, only then can the full restoration of the earth take place and we can begin the age of light marked by brotherhood, peace, justice, and freedom.The Secret Government is the first book written by Ismael Perez, and is based on extensive study of the Bible, as well as many political, historical, economic, and social events and documents throughout history. Perez is currently researching his next book, Our Cosmic (Divine) Beginning.

Download or read book Daniel and Ismail written by Juan Pablo Iglesias and published by Restless Books. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A one-of-a-kind, uplifting picture book about a Jewish boy and a Palestinian boy who bond on the soccer field—translated into English, Hebrew, and Arabic. Daniel and Ismail, one Jewish and the other Palestinian, don’t know each other yet, but they have more in common than they know. They live in the same city and have the same birthday, and this year they get the same presents: a traditional scarf—for Daniel a tallit and for Ismail a keffiyeh—and a soccer ball. Taking their gifts out for a spin, they meet by chance on a soccer field, and they soon begin to play together and show off the tricks they can do. They get so absorbed in the fun that they lose track of time and mix up their gifts: Daniel picks up Ismail's keffiyeh and Ismail takes Daniel's tallit. When they get home and discover their mistake, their parents are shocked and angry, asking the boys if they realize who wears those things. That night, Daniel and Ismail have nightmares about what they have seen on the news and heard from adults about the other group. But the next day, they find each other in the park and get back to what really matters: having fun and playing the game they both love. Daniel and Ismail is a remarkable multilingual picture book that confronts the very adult conflicts that kids around the world face, and shows us that different cultures, religions, societies, and languages can all share the same page.
