Book excerpt: Rekindle Me is a novel set far in the future, in a world where holovisions, augreals, artificial intelligence, self-driven cars, interplanetary travel and interstellar communication, and other notable technological developments are all part of a normal day. The protagonist, Tommy Russell, experiences a near-constant state of anxiety as his devoutly Christian beliefs are challenged by a society with declining morals, excess materialism, and an unchecked reliance on technology that, in Tommys eyes, belies a complete lack of the ability for mankind to love. While Tommy struggles to find the answer to a key question from his inquisitive young daughter, an ambitious and secretive government program called The Mantle Project is announced, aiming to flip the planets mantle upside down to harvest essential resources like oil and minerals. Despite the risk of failure of the project, the antagonist, Dr. Jonathan Bailey, still forges ahead with the execution of the project. With only a month to its full implementation, massive earthquakes begin to fracture the planet, killing billions and nearly cleaving it into two pieces precariously close to breaking completely apart. With the Earths mantle shattering, gravity growing weaker, and millions evacuating to Yahire, an angel planet in the solar system, Tommy realizes he is in a race against time to save humanity and to fulfill his promise to God. Tommy decides to look for a hermit who can provide him with answers to some vital questions and, most importantly, intercede with God on behalf of humanity, and he is helped along the way by a repentant and remorseful Dr. Jonathan Bailey, who is equally making a last-ditch effort to save the planet. Will Tommy find the hermit, and can he save planet Earth from imminent destruction? Please read on!

Download or read book Functional Connections of Cortical Areas written by S. Murray Sherman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013-08-09 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two leading authorities on thalamocortical connections consider how the neural circuits of the brain relate to our actions and perceptions. In this book, two leading authorities on the thalamus and its relationship to cortex build on their earlier findings to arrive at new ways of thinking about how the brain relates to the world, to cognition, and behavior. Based on foundations established earlier in their book Exploring the Thalamus and Its Role in Cortical Function, the authors consider the implications of these ground rules for thalamic inputs, thalamocortical connections, and cortical outputs. The authors argue that functional and structural analyses of pathways connecting thalamus and cortex point beyond these to lower centers and through them to the body and the world. Each cortical area depends on the messages linking it to body and world. These messages relate to the way we act and think; each cortical area receives thalamic inputs and has outputs to motor centers. Sherman and Guillery go on to discuss such topics as the role of branching axons that carry motor instructions as well as copies of these motor instructions for relay to cortex under the control of the thalamic gate. This gate allows the thalamus to control the passage of information on the basis of which cortex relates to the rest of the nervous system.
Download or read book The Intentional Stance written by Daniel C. Dennett and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1989-03-06 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are we able to understand and anticipate each other in everyday life, in our daily interactions? Through the use of such "folk" concepts as belief, desire, intention, and expectation, asserts Daniel Dennett in this first full-scale presentation of a theory of intentionality that he has been developing for almost twenty years. We adopt a stance, he argues, a predictive strategy of interpretation that presupposes the rationality of the people—or other entities—we are hoping to understand and predict. These principles of radical interpretation have far-reaching implications for the metaphysical and scientific status of the processes referred to by the everday terms of folk psychology and their corresponding terms in cognitive science.While Dennett's philosophical stance has been steadfast over the years, his views have undergone successive enrichments, refinements, and extensions. The Intentional Stance brings together both previously published and original material: four of the book's ten chapters—its first and the final three—appear here for the first time and push the theory into surprising new territory. The remaining six were published earlier in the 1980s but were not easily accessible; each is followed by a reflection—an essay reconsidering and extending the claims of the earlier work. These reflections and the new chapters represent the vanguard of Dennett's thought. They reveal fresh lines of inquiry into fundamental issues in psychology, artificial intelligence, and evolutionary theory as well as traditional issues in the philosophy of mind. A Bradford Book.
Download or read book Santa s Wish Fulfilled written by Jan Scarbrough and published by Saddle Horse Press. This book was released on 2022-11-14 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Last Christmas, Santa made a wish… Last Christmas Roz Henry lost her boyfriend and her job. With her beloved grandfather sick, she went home to the small New England town of Dickens. She’d found what she didn’t know she was looking for: a second chance with the boy she’d left behind all those years ago, Cooper Brown. A widower, Cooper had never forgotten his first love. Christmas brings rekindled romance and a proposal, just like a perfect Hallmark movie. But what happens after the happily-ever-after ending? This Christmas, Santa’s wish is fulfilled… A year has passed but Roz still hasn’t started planning the wedding, and Cooper’s starting to worry. Roz is, too. Is it just cold feet? Worry she’s not living up to her potential? Roz comes from a long line of selfless medical professionals, so what’s she doing working in a bookstore? She wants to be more than a housewife and mother, even though that life made her Grandma Tress happy. Her grandfather believed love never dies, but can it wither away from neglect? Roz loves Cooper, but she needs to be her own person first. Maybe a real happily-ever-after takes hard work, a lot of love, and some special Dicken’s Christmas magic. This is a small-town, sweet Christmas romance. It can be read as a standalone but features cameo appearances of characters written by other authors in the Dickens Holiday Romance series.
Download or read book Talking About Nothing written by Jody Azzouni and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ordinary language and scientific language enable us to speak about, in a singular way (using demonstratives and names), what we recognize not to exist: fictions, the contents of our hallucinations, abstract objects, and various idealized but nonexistent objects that our scientific theories are often couched in terms of. Indeed, references to such nonexistent items-especially in the case of the application of mathematics to the sciences-are indispensable. We cannot avoid talking about such things. Scientific and ordinary languages thus enable us to say things about Pegasus or about hallucinated objects that are true (or false), such as "Pegasus was believed by the ancient Greeks to be a flying horse," or "That elf I'm now hallucinating over there is wearing blue shoes." Standard contemporary metaphysical views and semantic analyses of singular idioms on offer in contemporary philosophy of language have not successfully accommodated these routine practices of saying true and false things about the nonexistent while simultaneously honoring the insight that such things do not exist in any way at all (and have no properties). That is, philosophers often feel driven to claim that such objects do exist, or they claim that all our talk isn't genuine truth-apt talk, but only pretence. This book reconfigures metaphysics (and the role of metaphysics in semantics) in radical ways that allow the accommodation of our ordinary ways of speaking of what does not exist while retaining the absolutely crucial presupposition that such objects exist in no way at all, have no properties, and so are not the truth-makers for the truths and falsities that are about them.
