Book Synopsis No Visible Horizon by : Joshua Cooper Ramo
Download or read book No Visible Horizon written by Joshua Cooper Ramo and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flying life has always demanded a passage across the razor's edge. At any moment you could slip to the other side: a gas leak, weather, fire in the cockpit. Sometimes what made the risks particularly horrible was that you could watch your mistakes play out in front of you, as a chorus of guilt followed you down. Usually you survived and could describe this music to others, but none of you -- not even with a long and growing trail of dead friends -- ever stopped flying. That was the truly unthinkable thing. In a good year aerobatics is one of the most beautiful sports imaginable. Pilots pull through impossibly elegant figures, twisting their planes at hundreds of miles an hour. The stress on their bodies reaches ten times the force of gravity, but this is nothing compared to the strain on their minds and the tension in their souls. In a bad year no sport kills more of its participants. To fly really well and to win you must depart the land of the possible and enter a place of pure faith. In this stunning literary debut, Joshua Cooper Ramo has crafted a meditation on the seduction of flight and a passionate love letter to a life of risk. It is partly the story of his own decision, after a decade of casual aerobatics, to transform himself into a serious competitive pilot aiming to finish high at the U.S. national competition. He introduces us to some of the greatest aerobatic pilots in the world: geniuses like Leo Loudenslager, a mild-mannered American Airlines pilot who spent his weekends redefining what it was possible to do in the air with a plane, flying figures so hard they made his eyes bleed as he whimpered with pain in the cockpit; or Kirby Chambliss, the Arizona pilot who performed figures just inches off the runway and sent his plane shooting through holes in cliffs. The classics of flight and extreme adventure, West With the Night; Wind, Sand, and Stars; and Into Thin Air have brought a poetic vision to their subjects. No Visible Horizon is an elegant and thrilling exploration, not simply of a pilot's physical battle against gravity, but of his dream of perfection and his quest for faith.

Book Synopsis Eternal Companions of Love by : Frank Scott
Download or read book Eternal Companions of Love written by Frank Scott and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thus, we are entities, as Beings of Light—subjects of illumination or enlightenment. We are also Soul-possessing—that which allows us to see and hear creation with the Eyes and Ears of our Creator. We are Spirits of Life and Intelligence—that is, endowed with those imperceptible fields of activity that give rise to the powers of attraction and repulsion, growth, instinct, rationality, and Faith. Here, Faith represents a sense of belongingness and relationship to everything, slowly growing as a state of Knowingness and Lovingness that fills one’s heart.

Book Synopsis The Environmental Uncanny by : Brian A. Irwin
Download or read book The Environmental Uncanny written by Brian A. Irwin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Environmental Uncanny argues that the increasing destitution of our world is the result of a certain forgetfulness: we have forgotten that the basis of our knowledge is not calculative reason, but our participation in the natural world. The modern built environment is exemplary of this forgetfulness, and induces an uncanniness that can help us to understand the nature of our environmental crisis. This book offers a unique interdisciplinary perspective on the global environmental crisis. Ranging from traditional phenomenology, including substantial discussion of both Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger, to philosophy of biology, to architectural and urban design theory, to landscape photography, it makes illuminating connections to paint a multifaceted picture. Tracing the root causes of dwindling biodiversity, deforestation and suburban sprawl, we can find how might we mark the path back toward a mode of rich inhabitation in a contemporary age. In charting out how it is that we are losing our world, Irwin offers a thought as to how we might regain it.
Book Synopsis The Zen Master's Dance by : Jundo Cohen
Download or read book The Zen Master's Dance written by Jundo Cohen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zen Master's Dance makes some of Zen’s subtlest teaching deeply personal and freshly accessible. Eihei Dogen—the thirteenth-century Japanese Zen Master of peerless depth and subtlety—heard the music of the universe that sounds as all events and places, people, things, and spaces. He experienced reality as a great dance moving through time, coming to life in the thoughts and acts of all beings. It is a most special dance, the dance that the whole of reality is dancing, with nothing left out. All beings are dancing, and reality is dancing as all beings. In The Zen Master’s Dance, Jundo Cohen takes us deep into the mind of Master Dogen—and shows us how to join in the great and intimate dance of the universe. Through fresh translations and sparkling teaching, Cohen opens up for us a new way to read one of Buddhism’s most remarkable spiritual geniuses.
Book Synopsis What in the Universe Are We Doing Here? by : Dr. William D. Mehring D.C. M.A.
Download or read book What in the Universe Are We Doing Here? written by Dr. William D. Mehring D.C. M.A. and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have You Ever Wondered? What happens to our thoughts, experiences and consciousness when we die? Does God/Creation/The Great Mystery exist? If so, does It oversee our actions or have an agenda for the earth and humanitys outcome? Are there multiple dimensions or realms, such as heaven, that co-exist with our world? How does a global or even a universal consciousness help us to survive, heal and most importantly evolve? Ultimately, is there a purpose for us to exist? If so what is that purpose? Dr. Mehring brings new information to these fascinating questions in hopes of furthering the discussion of what truly exists and our purpose. He shares a combination of his experiences that he has had with unique individuals that have died and come back. Despite their previous critical condition they come back with an expanded awareness and clarity, and are willing to share their experience and the knowledge they have gained. Dr. Mehring will also share case histories and knowledge from several patients that have broken through to soul awareness during deep hypnosis. Dr. Mehring will also look to the new partnership between frontier science and ancient religious texts in an effort to authenticate and verify that all he has witnessed is credible and will help humanity reach its greatest potential through knowing its purpose.
Book Synopsis The Taximan's God by : W. Scott Jr. Newmann
Download or read book The Taximan's God written by W. Scott Jr. Newmann and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death most often comes to us in sanitized form, suitable for prime-time: "Today a police officer was killed in the line of duty. Three died in a tragic house fire. Twelve lost to a freak storm. The great man finally succumbed." We are told what happened in prosaic though sterile detail. The obituary and the eulogy address only the survivors and only after the fact. But what of the event itself? What of that moment we all must eventually face? The Taximan's God snatches us from the comfortable distance of our pews and breakfast tables and takes us to the very moment of death, the event horizon that marks the termination of this life. And while there we see that life's furthest edge is not uniform but jagged and surprisingly abrupt. No images of life's many chapters pass before our eyes, no last second regrets or confessions pass our lips, no stuttered prayers lift to heaven. "Pardon," a smooth voice murmurs from behind, "do you have the time?" And as we turn to answer we realize we do not. Death takes us in shock to God who is waiting beyond life's terminus. Ready or not
Download or read book Infinity written by Michael Heller and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary study of infinity explores the concept through the prism of mathematics and then offers more expansive investigations in areas beyond mathematical boundaries to reflect the broader, deeper implications of infinity for human intellectual thought. More than a dozen world-renowned researchers in the fields of mathematics, physics, cosmology, philosophy and theology offer a rich intellectual exchange among various current viewpoints, rather than displaying a static picture of accepted views on infinity. The book starts with a historical examination of the transformation of infinity from a philosophical and theological study to one dominated by mathematics. It then offers technical discussions on the understanding of mathematical infinity. Following this, the book considers the perspectives of physics and cosmology: can infinity be found in the real universe? Finally, the book returns to questions of philosophical and theological aspects of infinity.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Tana French, author of the forthcoming novel The Searcher, is “the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years” (The Washington Post) and “inspires cultic devotion in readers” (The New Yorker). “Required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting.” —The New York Times Now airing as a Starz series. In the “compellingˮ (The Boston Globe) and “pitch perfectˮ (Entertainment Weekly) follow-up to Tana French’s runaway bestseller In the Woods, Cassie Maddox has transferred out of the Dublin Murder Squad—until an urgent telephone call brings her back to an eerie crime scene. The victim looks exactly like Cassie and carries ID identifying herself as Alexandra Madison, an alias Cassie once used as an undercover cop. Suddenly, Cassie is back undercover, to find out not only who killed this young woman, but, more importantly, who she was. The Likeness is a supremely suspenseful story exploring the nature of identity and belonging.
Book Synopsis Heidegger and Marx by : Laurence Paul Hemming
Download or read book Heidegger and Marx written by Laurence Paul Hemming and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Heidegger and Karl Marx remain two of the most influential thinkers in philosophy, in political science and other social sciences, and in the humanities. Yet there has never been a full-length study in English of the relationship between their ideas, and there has only been one study in German (from 1966). A Productive Dialogue fills this gap and contradicts the widely held assumption that Heidegger had no significant engagement with Marx. Hemming focuses on four related areas of inquiry—Heidegger’s reading of Marx; Marx’s relation to G. W. F. Hegel; Heidegger’s disastrous political involvement with National Socialism; and the significance of Hegel, Marx, Heidegger, and Friedrich Nietzsche for the politics of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. A Productive Dialogue explores the understanding of political processes, systems, and behavior that animates both thinkers.
