Download or read book The Jazz of Physics written by Stephon Alexander and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spectacular musical and scientific journey from the Bronx to the cosmic horizon that reveals the astonishing links between jazz, science, Einstein, and Coltrane More than fifty years ago, John Coltrane drew the twelve musical notes in a circle and connected them by straight lines, forming a five-pointed star. Inspired by Einstein, Coltrane put physics and geometry at the core of his music. Physicist and jazz musician Stephon Alexander follows suit, using jazz to answer physics' most vexing questions about the past and future of the universe. Following the great minds that first drew the links between music and physics-a list including Pythagoras, Kepler, Newton, Einstein, and Rakim — The Jazz of Physics reveals that the ancient poetic idea of the "Music of the Spheres," taken seriously, clarifies confounding issues in physics. The Jazz of Physics will fascinate and inspire anyone interested in the mysteries of our universe, music, and life itself.

Download or read book Strike written by Dnias Dirk and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even now the married couple is missing. Even now they are presumed dead. Jack Dorcha braces up his grandson who has been led by the nose. With Chase having been mortified and Wren terror-stricken, Jack Dorcha cabals to super-impose upon the writing on Chase’s wall a fatal image, and to send Wren down the river of his amphibious justice, by flying in the faces of their temerarious self-induced meltdowns. Once again the tables are being turned. Either Chase weasels what he alleges to harbour or Wren finally unriddles the murders, or they will both be snuffed out. It is no longer a question of Wren empathising with and emulating the trials and tribulations of Glasson and Chase, and no longer a question of Glasson or Chase stumping for it. It is now more of a question as to whether they can ransom their floundering lives and their benighted families. Chase suborns Wren with a salmagundi of afferent experiences, while Wren buffaloes Chase with his unswerving crownings. Can they live with their howlers? Who will win this time? The conscience-stricken retired special adjudicator, the self-violent former employer of torture judges, the atomised crime-writing uncle, the moribund grandfather of gangster hood, the tamed mafioso of Glasgow, the stochastic new murderer, or one of the pertinacious suspects?

Download or read book Alexander written by Christian Cameron and published by Orion. This book was released on 2013-02-21 with total page 1027 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate historical adventure novel: the life of Alexander the Great in a single, epic volume. To many he was a god. To others he was a monster. The truth is even more extraordinary. As a boy, Alexander dreamed of matching the heroic feats of Achilles. At eighteen he led the Macedonian cavalry to a stunning victory against the Greeks. By twenty-five he had crushed the Persians in three monumental battles and was the master of the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Men began to call him a god. But behind the legend was another, more complex story. Narrated by his boyhood friend Ptolemy, this is the story of Alexander as you have never heard it before: raw, intimate, thrilling - a story of extraordinary daring and unimaginable endurance; of wanton destruction and murderous intrigue - the epic tragedy of a man who aimed to be more than human.

Download or read book Nephilim written by David Lucero and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Summary of Nephilim: Genesis By David Lucero The novel Nephilim: Genesis cannot be easily summarized. It's a book about friendship, faith, destiny, and discovery. But it is so much more than that as well. Of course, there are main characters. Villains, heroes, supporting characters, those are the usual items found in a fiction book. There is a plot, of course, and tons of inspirations. But to break down the novel would not do it justice. To say that Alexander Luciano is the main character is just putting him into a role that he doesn't fit easily into. A square peg in a round hole, so to speak. The Nephilim themselves are not easily described either. If you take the literal translations of them from the Old Testament, then they were giants born of mortal women who had been seduced by fallen angels. But they were briefly mentioned, almost impossible to spot if you're not looking for them, and that leaves a vast amount of room for interpretation. I prefer to think of Nephilim as sons and daughters that, yes, were half-human/half-angels, but also much more than that. They were influential, giants not in the literal sense, but metaphorically, much as some people are "giants of industry." These are not literally tall men or women, they are people that have shaped our commercial and financial institutions. They are individuals that have formed the basis of our society in such a way that we look up to them in reverence. So to say Nephilim are in that vein might be more accurate. They are "giants of destiny" if you will, leaders and warriors and thinkers. They are people that have walked with the gods and kept stride. They are idols and icons. Does that mean that I think Alexander Luciano is an icon? Yes, in a sense. He is what I wish I could be, not because he is almost supernatural, but because he has discovered his destiny and has embraced it with all his heart and soul. He is a shining example of what I would like to be. He is an angel, true, but he is still only a man. The novel Nephilim: Genesis was a long work in progress. I wrote several drafts, went through so many new characters and new plots that I can't even remember all of them. It was crafted, not written, and I'm very proud of it. The characters in the book: Avatar, Sage, Epic, Arcadia, Magus, and Kheiron, are not just the characters I created for the book, they are characters that grew out of friendship, faith, and dedication. I didn't write them, they came to life and I merely translated them onto the written page. Like so many stories in existence, there is sadness, happiness, pain, and joy in this novel. Some of it was my idea, some of it was not. And I don't mean that I took other people's ideas, but merely that the story became what it is because I was open to the possibility that this story was not entirely something I could create. I let the story go where it wanted to go, and I just tried to type fast enough to keep up. Alexander Luciano is a caring young man, but stubborn. He is a successful businessman. He is a son, a lover, a fighter. He is strong, brave, and a quick thinker. I am not any of these things entirely, but he is me. He is the idol I look up to. He is the "giant" in my storytelling. But all of the characters are important to me. Some of them were so easy to come up with, it was like a thunderbolt to my brain when I realized I was stupid for never thinking of them before. Some of them crept in and came to life and I never saw them coming. If and when you read the novel, I hope you find your own "giant" to look up to. Someone you wish you could be. It might not be Alexander Luciano, it might
