Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Light Barrier is the autobiographical story of Elizabeth Klarer, a South African woman and Akon, an astrophysicist from Meton, a planet of Proxima Centuri that, at a distance of about 4.3 light years, is our nearest stellar neighbor. Elizabeth was taken in his spaceship to Meton, where she lived with him and his family for four months and where she bore his child. Her life on Meton is fascinatingly described. Akon brought Elizabeth back to Earth after the birth of their son, and continued to visit her thereafter. Akon explained how his spaceship's light-propulsion technology operated, and how it allowed him and his people to travel across vast interstellar distances. This technology is explained in detail in the book. Elizabeth was given a standing ovation at the 11th International Congress of UFO Research Groups at Weisbaden in 1975, and her speech as guest of honor was applauded by scientists of twenty-two nations. Light Technology Publishing is proud to bring you the long-awaited American edition in both hard copy and electronic format of Beyond the Light Barrier, which was first published in English in 1980

This book was released on 2010 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1905 Einstein found from relativity that there is an absolute lightbarrier. He reiterated his ¿finden¿ in 1916, writing, ¿¿We conclude that in thetheory of relativity the velocity c plays the part of limiting velocity, which canneither be reached nor exceeded by any real body.¿ Poincaré and Lorentz didnot share Einstein¿s view of relativity in that regard. Nor, later, did Fermi andTeller it seems. There were others who hesitated to come forward. Then in a1921 lecture and a 1922 look, ¿sidelights on Relativity,¿ Einstein wrote (pp. 35-6), ¿Poincaré is right. The idea of the measuring-rod and the idea of the clockco-ordinated with it in the theory of relativity do not find their exactcorrespondence in the real world.¿Thus the light barrier was questioned by the same man who erected it, andthe last theoretical obstacle to practical star travel was mortally wounded butfew noticed. There is still a conditional light barrier, but no longer one that isimpenetrable. It became clear that the second postulate of special relativity doesnot equate to an absolute light barrier as many continue to believe even to thisday; some highly-regarded scientists continue to subscribe to this faulty logic:¿I believe that special relativity is correct and consequently exceeding thespeed of light [by] (just accelerating more and more) is impossible,¿¿Don Lincoln, Fermilab, email dated 3 Feb. 2005.Such statements reflect a misunderstanding of the second postulate. The key isthat the second postulate applies to photons but not to rocketships; rocketshipsare not macrophotons as Sachs pointed out.In the September 1971 issue of the journal ¿Physics Today¿ MendelSachs wrote about Einstein¿s 1921-22 ¿change of mind¿ as he referred to it,again in 1985, 1993 and at other times; but Sachs¿ writings were scorned byother scientists. It was as if others wanted there to be a truly impenetrable lightbarrier perhaps because it seemed to hold open the exciting promise of timetravel. The first author became aware of Sachs¿ writings in 2004 and the twoexchanged views for a time as reported here.This book presents a hard-science case for practical star travel. The firstsix chapters lay it all out in a logical and factual manner consistent with thetheory of relativity. Chapters 7 & 8 outline a ¿Grand Experiment¿ designed toprobe the light barrier. Chapters 7-9 give future-fiction accounts of possiblescenarios of Humanity¿s first hesitant steps to the stars. Chapter 10 presents aseparate argument questioning the idea of an absolute light barrier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Showcasing Dan Flavin’s “corner,” “barrier,” and “corridor” works, this catalogue explores the artist’s core sculptural vocabulary and how his use of fluorescent light forged a new relationship between the art object and its surrounding architecture. This publication examines how Flavin’s light works, which he described as “situations,” function in space, occupying key positions that highlight how the rooms themselves are constructed. The exhibition is not only historically significant, as it mines early explorations in Flavin’s practice, but many of the works are reproduced for the first time in plates that accurately capture their colors. Published on the occasion of the 2015 eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner, New York, Corners, Barriers and Corridors takes as its point of departure the artist’s influential show, corners, barriers and corridors in fluorescent light from Dan Flavin, presented at the Saint Louis Art Museum in 1973. Above all, the photography reveals the unexpected and powerful interplay between the light of neighboring pieces and the space—the way the walls, floor, and various hues mingle to form unpredicted palettes that reveal what Michael Auping, following Donald Judd, calls the “exoskeleton.” These works, with their immediate relationship to architecture, not only function as color experiments but as structural explorations in light, and in his essay, Auping explores how Flavin’s investigations of corners, barriers, and corridors became an essential part of the way the artist understood space. This publication also features rarely seen photographs of Flavin installing his historic 1973 exhibition, as well as detailed notes by Alexandra Whitney about the works included in the St. Louis presentation. Designed by McCall Associates, in close collaboration with the Estate of Dan Flavin, this catalogue presents an especially significant body of work in a completely new way and offers a vital historical perspective on Flavin’s practice.

Book excerpt: Geochemical barrier zones play an important role in determining various physical systems and characteristics of the oceans, e.g. hydrodynamics, salinity, temperature and light. In this book, each of the 40 barrier zones covered are illustrated and defined by physical-chemical parameters. Among the topics discussed are the processes of inflow, transformation and precipitation of the sedimentary layer of the open oceans and more restricted areas such as the Baltic, Black and Mediterranean Seas. This well-illustrated book may serve as the basis for courses such as "Marine Geochemistry" or "Ocean Usage" and can be useful to researchers in the fields of geology, geography, marine chemistry, geoecology and hydrochemistry.

Book excerpt: The Light Barrier: One family's journey to understand a barrier to reading that may affect millions of children and adults worldwide. Countless children with Irlen syndrome, involving sensitivity to aspects of light, have been misunderstood as lazy, slow, inattentive, dyslexic, ADHD, or just plain "troubled," when, in fact, what they suffer from is a correctable problem. Rhonda Stone's daughter Katie was struggling at school, despite hours of help each night with homework. She also complained of physical discomfort and constant difficulties with seeing and reading, even though she passed repeated vision exams. By chance, while looking for a solution to help her child, this mother encountered a controversial but scientifically proven solution that has already helped thousands. Her personal story shares with readers the latest information gathered from three continents and shows what can be done about this highly prevalent, commonly overlooked, but readily addressed problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Movement into academic science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields has been slow for women and minorities. Not only are women and minorities underrepresented in STEM careers, there is strong evidence that many academic departments are resistant to addressing the concerns that keep them from entering careers in these fields. In light of recent controversies surrounding these issues, this volume, examining reasons for the persistence of barriers that block the full participation and advancement of underrepresented groups in the sciences and addressing how academic departments and universities can remedy the situation, is particularly timely. As a whole, the volume shows positive examples of institutions and departments that have been transformed by the inclusion of women and recommends a set of best practices for continuing growth in positive directions.

Behind him, Lall's voice said, "A nice try. But not good enough."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With job opportunities in decline for youth with no postsecondary degree, and college completion rates especially for students of color stagnating, a high school diploma is no longer enough. To solve this large-scale global problem. High school must be completely redesigned and reinvented providing all students real opportunity with both equity and excellence. P-TECH (Pathways in Technology Early College High School) has done just that by combining public high schools and community colleges in partnership with employers, providing both opportunity and support for all students, regardless of income, race or any screen for admission. Unlike many school models, this innovative and effective approach has spread across the US and around the world, eliminating barriers to replication by engaging all stakeholders. The first P-TECH, opened in a low-income Brooklyn neighborhood, across from a public housing project, and served 100% students of color. It has become the model for school reform across over a dozen US states and nearly twenty countries. Praised by President Obama, governors in red and blue states, and heads of nations, its story is told in this book through the personal stories of students who have destroyed the myths about which students can succeed. Their stories demonstrate that all students, if given the opportunity and support, can reach great heights in high school, college, and career"--
