Book Description
QUANTUM STATE - Book #2 Recap of MARS LEGACY - Book #1 The initial colonization of Mars exceeded all expectations; a genuine triumph of one man's vision and relentless dedication to scientific progress. But as greed took hold and nations fought for their slice of the pie, the bold endeavor turned into a deadly mess. With advanced AI and an abundant workforce, the task of rebuilding the fledgling colonies should have been simple, but humans just aren’t made that way. Tragic losses and financial ruin plagued the endeavor until the United Nations formed the Joint Academic Research and Development Organization (JARDO) and chose world-renowned scientist Marvin Dryer to head it up. Armed with the authority to handpick the best and brightest minds, Dr. Dryer assembled a team of brilliant young scientists, each with their own unique set of strengths and personal peccadilloes. Dr. Lauren Sommers, the world’s leading AI scientist, and her quirky AI sidekick, SAMI, quickly formed an incontrovertible authority on the red dust ball. Tasked with colonizing the Valles Mariners after her former fiancé is murdered, Lauren relies on SAMI’s unwavering focus to keep the Mars project on track. Fresh off his Nobel Prize-winning discovery of faster-than-light communications, Dr. Bradley Yeager, widely regarded as the young Howard Hughes of advanced science, arrives at Mars a few weeks ahead of his offbeat team. Together on Mars, with the world’s fastest quantum computer and an idiosyncratic synthetic cognizance named Quattro, they’ve just discovered a signal that comes from another solar system. It is a signal that is about to change everything “Stand aside, Douglas Adams and Kurt Vonnegut; Scott Billups has more mind-blowing ideas than you can shake a particle beam at.” Brian McKernan Former Editor - OMNI Magazine Back in 1993, Stan Lee and Roger Corman asked if I could help them make a superhero movie for under a million dollars. We made the original Fantastic Four for less than the catering budget of my next movie. After that, Stan came to me from time to time with various technology-related questions and ideas. With the sale of Marvel to Disney, he could see his superhero universe slipping deeper into fantasy. He had an idea to update the genre with a whole alternative universe of superheroes for the quantum age. His idea was simple: develop a story about superheroes who save the world using actual science. They face threats on the same scale as those found in science fantasies, but they win their battles through technical intelligence rather than unexplained supernatural powers. After his death, Stan Lee Entertainment and the Stan Lee estate asked if I would help revive that vision. The script I wrote was a bold departure from the current fantasy-based superhero genre, but people with more lawyers and deeper pockets than me felt that it would interfere with the Stan Lee brand - so I decided to write this book. This is the origin story for a new superhero universe. It is full of real and emerging science because that was Stan’s idea.

Book Description
Don’t we often make life’s choices considering the interest of all our dear ones and our family? What if life’s incidents reverse and overweigh us with joys and throw disappointments at us? We attempt to bounce back in life optimistically, don’t we? Or sometimes, these incidents themselves turn into a serendipity. Set across a city in South India and a Middle Eastern state, a story that traverses from early 2000 to the current times, Kismet is a multitude of experiences in the life of Akash. Akash Shetty loves his family dearly and lives up (happily) to their expectations. Why did his sibling devastate his family? What does it do with Akash’s choices? Akash lands in the Middle East for a short term. He has many life-changing experiences and faces an incident that leaves him emotionally devastated. Can he turn it into a serendipity? Kismet is a story of love/hate, culture, life’s philosophies, and humanity that challenge one’s perceptions towards life. Somewhere lives an Akash in many of us… and reminds us that Kismet or Destiny can be (turned into) a stroke of serendipity.

Book Description
This book approaches the Arctic from a postcolonial perspective, taking into account both its historical status as a colonised region and new, economically driven forms of colonialism. One catchphrase currently being used to describe these new colonialisms is 'the scramble for the Arctic'. This cross-disciplinary study, featuring contributions from an international team of experts in the field, offers a set of broadly postcolonial perspectives on the European Arctic, which is taken here as ranging from Greenland and Iceland in the North Atlantic to the upper regions of Norway and Sweden in the European High North. While the contributors acknowledge the renewed scramble for resources that characterises the region, it also argues the need to 'unscramble' the Arctic, wresting it away from its persistent status as a fixed object of western control and knowledge. Instead, the book encourages a reassertion of micro-histories of Arctic space and territory that complicate western grand narratives of technological progress, politico-economic development, and ecological 'state change'. It will be of interest to scholars of Arctic Studies across all disciplines.

Book Description
This volume is the first major production of the globalisation research strand of the Centre for Educational Research at Western Sydney University. This book makes a significant contribution to the theory of and research in globalisation and education, and tackles the topics of superdiversity and supercomplexity. The book’s thesis is that the effects of globalisation on education can only be understood if the specific yet complex conditions of globalisation in education are investigated. The book takes an international approach to understanding globalisation and does not restrict itself to just one methodological or theoretical plane of investigation. Education is one of these frontline domains in which the effects of superdiversity cannot be dismissed, minimized or denied. The continuously increasing complexity of learning environments is raising critical issues at every level, from description over analysis to theoretical generalization, and this book is a first and fruitful attempt at charting these waters. This pioneering book will remain a key text for many years to come. Jan Bloomaert Professor of Language, Culture and Globalization and Director of the Babylon Center Tilburg University, the Netherlands. This provocative collection works from two premises: that today there is superdiversity in our globalised world and related is a supercomplexity of theoretical and methodological approaches. The collection proffers multifarious challenges for educational theory, research and practice in working with, through and across these two premises. As such, Super Dimensions in Globalisation and Education is essential reading for all educational researchers, whatever their interests or location. Professor Bob Lingard The University of Queensland, Australia. This is a highly imaginative book that stops ‘flat earth’ and convergence arguments dead in their tracks. Its genius is to bring super-complexity and super-diversity into a conversation with each other and with education, and in doing so shed light on the numerous and unexpected ways in which global processes are shaping education in revealing and compelling ways. Any scholar concerned with globalisation and education will find Super Dimensions in Globalisation and Education a’ must have’ on their reading list. Professor Susan Robertson Director of the Centre for Globalisation, Education and Social Futures University of Bristol, UK. This is an absorbing and compelling collection. It takes readers on a kaleidoscopic journey through various intricate expressions of the nexus between globalisation and education. And it offers multiple ways that such expressions can be thought and rethought. In transcending conventional categorisations it invites educators to do so too. Professor Jane Kenway, Australian Professorial Fellow – Australian Research Council, Education Faculty, Monash University, Australia.

Book Description
“Bayoumi offers a revealing portrait of life for people who are often scrutinized but seldom heard from.” —Booklist (starred review) “Wholly intelligent and sensitively-drawn, How Does It Feel to Be a Problem? is an important investigation into the hearts and minds of young Arab-Americans. This significant and eminently readable work breaks through preconceptions and delivers a fresh take on a unique and vital community. Moustafa Bayoumi's voice is refreshingly frank, personable, and true.” —Diana Abu-Jaber, author of Origin, Crescent, and The Language of Baklava An eye-opening look at how young Arab- and Muslim-Americans are forging lives for themselves in a country that often mistakes them for the enemy Just over a century ago , W.E.B. Du Bois posed a probing question in his classic The Souls of Black Folk: How does it feel to be a problem? Now, Moustafa Bayoumi asks the same about America's new "problem"-Arab- and Muslim-Americans. Bayoumi takes readers into the lives of seven twenty-somethings living in Brooklyn, home to the largest Arab-American population in the United States. He moves beyond stereotypes and clichés to reveal their often unseen struggles, from being subjected to government surveillance to the indignities of workplace discrimination. Through it all, these young men and women persevere through triumphs and setbacks as they help weave the tapestry of a new society that is, at its heart, purely American.
