Do Surf
Author: Constantino Pereira MartinsPublisher: Editora Dialética
ISBN: 6527024649
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : pt-BR
Pages : 403
Book Description
Surf is probably one of the steadiest-growing sports in the world, maybe because surfing isn't just about sports or physical activity. It's about a culture, a newborn tribe, and a collective identity that thrives within the strength of a global outdoor community. This sense of belonging is reinforced by philosophical assumptions besides a political and economic evidence: the ocean is freedom, and the sea is the last free place on the planet. You can go to the beach and the only thing you need is a board. This fact implies, and relies, on other significant determinations regarding phenomenological and spiritual dimensions. This book reflects a wide and heterogeneous set of essays that will give the reader a wide range of perspectives that depart from the Philosophy of Sport and expand also to cultural, anthropological, medical, poetic, and existential insights.

Quantum Gravity
Author: Carlo RovelliPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139456156
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
Quantum gravity is perhaps the most important open problem in fundamental physics. It is the problem of merging quantum mechanics and general relativity, the two great conceptual revolutions in the physics of the twentieth century. The loop and spinfoam approach, presented in this 2004 book, is one of the leading research programs in the field. The first part of the book discusses the reformulation of the basis of classical and quantum Hamiltonian physics required by general relativity. The second part covers the basic technical research directions. Appendices include a detailed history of the subject of quantum gravity, hard-to-find mathematical material, and a discussion of some philosophical issues raised by the subject. This fascinating text is ideal for graduate students entering the field, as well as researchers already working in quantum gravity. It will also appeal to philosophers and other scholars interested in the nature of space and time.
Blood-drenched Beard

Pages : 402
Book Description
The young man’s father, dying, at last tells him the truth about his grandfather – or at least the truth as he knows it. The mean old gaucho was murdered by some fellow villagers in Garopaba, a town on the Atlantic now famous for its surfing and fishing. It was during a Sunday dance at a community hall. The lights went out suddenly and when they came up, his grandfather was lying on the ground in a pool of blood…or so the story goes. It is as if his father has given him a deathbed challenge. And his girlfriend has just left him, so he has no strong ties. He is a great ocean swimmer, so why not strike out for Garopaba, and see what he can discover? The young man travels up the coast, finds an apartment by the water, and begins to build a simple new life, taking his father’s old dog as a companion. He swims in the sea every day, makes a few friends, falls into a relationship, begins to make enquiries. But information doesn’t come easily. A rare neurological condition means that the young man doesn’t recognize the faces of people he’s met – leading frequently to awkwardness and occasionally to violence. And the people who do know about his grandfather are fearful to give anything away. Life becomes complicated for him in Garopaba, and even dangerous. Steeped in tension, atmosphere and the sultry allure of south Brazil, Daniel Galera’s masterfully spare and powerful prose unfolds a story of discovery that feels mythic, elemental and archetypal – a wise and potent display of storytelling sorcery that announces one of Brazil's very greatest young writers as a blazing new literary talent to the English-speaking world.
