Download or read book Future Tourism in a Robonomic World written by Stanislav Ivanov and published by Channel View Publications. This book was released on 2024-08-05 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book envisions the future of tourism in an economy that is largely automated. ‘Robonomics’ is the term given to this economic system that relies on robots, artificial intelligence and automation technologies for the production of goods and delivery of services instead of human labour. The volume examines the unique technological, socioeconomic and political situation that such an economy will create, and reflects on how tourism is then produced, consumed and paid for. The chapters explore some controversial solutions to the challenges of the robonomic economic system, such as redefinition of human rights, robot rights and universal basic income schemes. The chapters also consider the transition to a robonomic tourism ecosystem and the adjustments and innovations that will be required of consumers, industry and society.

Download or read book The Reflecting Pool written by "Mountain" (aka W. Clifford Dean) and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a celebration of life as seen through the eyes of a man who spent two astonishing, often difficult, and always formative years as a "mountain man" in the Rocky Mountains of Idaho and Montana. Here are the words of a man who has done what few others have chosen to do in modern times, who has experienced life differently, deliberately, primally - forced to consciously recognize his utter dependence on everything and everyone around him, eventually realizing that everyone and everything in life is a teacher, a master, a guru - if only we open ourselves to the learning. A person's view of things changes fundamentally after spending months eating little other than rattlesnakes, ants, and mice; dry-camping high on mountainsides on pitch-black nights pierced by the shrill unearthly shrieks of rutting bull elk; facing the perils of rivers, trails, weather, and wild animals while utterly alone and without the benefits of modern technologies; living without electricity, refrigeration, radio, TV, telephones, newspapers, computers, iPods, music, news, libraries, medical aid, 911, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, running water, toilet paper, extra clothes, grocery stores, groceries, or anything else you yourself couldn't make, grow, forage, catch, or kill by your own hand. Perspectives change. Beliefs change. People change. Here are the thoughts and words of a "mountain man" reflecting his own unique, personal experience of life.

Book excerpt: Have you ever read a Bible passage that seemed to contradict other Scriptures, or simply didnt make sense? Have you ever wanted to answer a skeptic who insisted the Bible was full of errors, but didnt know how to respond? Do you hesitate to share your faith because you dont know what you believeor why you believe it? Quid Pro Quirk seeks to resolve such issues and help you share the reason for the hope that is within you (1 Peter 3:15). In a legal context, the Latin phrase quid pro quo means to exchange something for something, or this for that. Quid Pro Quirk uses a courtroom setting to exchange plausible explanations for alleged Bible quirks. The compelling explanations can give you confidence as you add to your knowledge and understanding of Gods Word. In Quid Pro Quirk, the prosecution begins with an opening statement establishing the background behind each alleged quirk and then finishes with a specific charge. The defense responds, using the Bible and other sources to dispute the charge. After considering all of the evidence, you act as judge and jury in rendering an informed verdict. Quid Pro Quirks explanations are as brief and concise as possible, and yet remain faithful to the letter and spirit of Gods Word in responding to a broad spectrum of charges. A handy reference source for the layman that avoids dry and endless rhetoric, Quid Pro Quirk focuses on the key facts that can bless you in your quest for Gods truth.

Download or read book The Jefferson Files written by Martin Herman and published by 194 Rodney Press. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is 1806; a powerful and criminal secret society has almost complete control over many of the elected officials, international finance, and commerce in the young nation. Its leaders arrange for a dissident to be brutally murdered and left floating in the Potomac River so that the body surfaces within clear site of Thomas Jefferson’s White House. This criminal act is intended to send a message to the President and all those around him: ‘the society’s power should know no limit – elected officials – including the president – must acknowledge and support us, allow us to do whatever we want, when and wherever we choose, or suffer the consequences’. Almost two hundred years later, after discovering a hidden diary written by someone who lived in the White House during that time, a small group of college students and a world class computer hacker learn all there is to know about this particular crime… the identity of the victim and what, if anything, Jefferson did about it? They also learn all about the secret society. By digging into this two hundred year old crime the students attract the attention of the modern day version of the secret society. The current leader threatens the student’s very existence - but rather than retreat, the students decide to fight back.

We, my daughter and I, are now working on the third book of the series, Internet Joke Book-Volume Three.
