Book Description
Return to national bestselling author Devon Monk's heartpounding House Immortal series, where eleven powerful Houses control the world and all its resources. But now, the treaty between them has been broken, and no one—not even the immortal galvanized—is safe.... Matilda Case isn’t normal. Normal people aren’t stitched together, inhumanly strong, and ageless, as she and the other galvanized are. Normal people’s bodies don’t hold the secret to immortality—something the powerful Houses will kill to possess. And normal people don’t know that they’re going to die in a few days. Matilda’s fight to protect the people she loves triggered a chaotic war between the Houses and shattered the world’s peace. On the run, she must find a way to stop the repeat of the ancient time experiment that gifted her and the other galvanized with immortality. Because this time, it will destroy her and everything she holds dear. Caught in a cat-and-mouse game of lies, betrayal, and unseen foes, Matilda must fight to save the world from utter destruction. But time itself is her enemy, and every second brings her one step closer to disaster....

Bell's Theorem, Quantum Theory and Conceptions of the Universe
Author: Menas Kafatos
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401708495
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Bell's Theorem and its associated implications for the nature of the physical world remain topics of great interest. For this reason many meetings have been recently held on the interpretation of quantum theory and the implications of Bell's Theorem. Generally these meetings have been held primarily for quantum physicists and philosophers of science who have been or are actively working on the topic. Nevertheless, other philosophers of science, mathematicians, engineers as well as members of the general public have increasingly taken interest in Bell's Theorem and its implications. The Fall Workshop held at George Mason University on October 21 and 22, 1988 and titled "Bell's Theorem, Quantum Theory and Conceptions of the Universe" was of a more general scope. Not only it attracted experts in the field, it also covered other topics such as the implications of quantum non-locality for the nature of consciousness, cosmology, the anthropic principle, etc. topics usually not covered in previous meetings of this kind. The meeting was attended by more than one hundred ten specialists and other interested people from all over the world. The purpose of the meeting was not to provide a definitive answer to the general questions raised by Bell's Theorem. It is likely that the debate will go on for quite a long time. Rather, it was meant to contribute to the important dialogue between different disciplines.

Treasures Inside the Bell
Author: Carlos Enrique Puente Angulo
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9789812381415
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
Generalized versions of the central limit theorem that lead to Gaussian distributions over one and higher dimensions, via arbitrary iterations of simple mappings, have recently been discovered by the author of this book and his collaborators. Treasures Inside the Bell: Hidden Order in Chance reveals how these new constructions result in infinite exotic kaleidoscopic decompositions of two-dimensional circular bells in terms of beautiful deterministic patterns possessing arbitrary n-fold symmetries. These are patterns that, while reminding us of the infinite structure previously found in the celebrated Mandelbrot set, turn out to contain natural shapes such as snow crystals and biochemical rosettes that include even the DNA structure of life.

The Teaching Game
Author: Raven Walker
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595005543
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
Bio: In a new vein of old fashioned American Pragmatism, writer and psychologist, Raven Walker, addresses the problems of modern education. In The Teaching Game, he clarifies the critical purpose of fulfilling human potential and details the basic arts and crafts that make mastery of the teaching game possible, whether as teacher, parent, or manager. Book Description: The Teaching Game begins with the paradox of modern American education. We spend more money than ever, yet the educational attainments of our next generation fall sadly backward. We would allow no such disgrace in our football programs. But the odds have always been stacked against great educational achievement. None of the competencies or virtues sought come without both serious effort by the learners and stubborn mastery by those who practice the culture''s teaching games. The strategic problem is straightforward. The tactical problems immense.The Teaching Game details the practical approaches to subject matter, courseware, human potential, strategy, delivery, evaluation, discipline, and command, all in the clear language of games, the real business of accomplishing important human ends. At the same time, sophisticated, modern needs must be balanced against the old fashioned ideal of the complete human, the virtuous human, the free and independent mind that makes genuine democracy possible. A society gets the quality of life and standard of living its educational system provides. We send robots to Mars, yet insist that hanging words on walls will ward off bad behavior. Successful teaching games are a culture's most important accomplishment. Both the health and vitality of society depend on them. author photo: kennedy photo y.tiff
