Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imprisoned for life aboard a zeppelin that floats high above a fantastic metropolis, greeting-card writer Harold Winslow pens his memoirs. His only companions are the disembodied voice of Miranda Taligent, the only woman he has ever loved, and the cryogenically frozen body of her father, Prospero, the genius and industrial magnate who drove her insane. As Harold heads toward a last desperate confrontation with Prospero to save Miranda's life, he finds himself an unwitting participant in the creation of the greatest invention of them all: the perpetual motion machine. Beautifully written, stunningly imagined, and wickedly funny, Dexter Palmer's The Dream of Perpetual Motion is a heartfelt meditation on the place of love in a world dominated by technology.

Book excerpt: In this extraordinarily wide-ranging, insightful, and revelatory book, Tony Hiss is the much-praised author of The Experience of Places delves into a unique and instantly recognizable (though previously undescribed) experience that can happen to us when we travel, a special understanding and ability that can leave us feeling exhilarated. He illustrates how throughout human history - from our ancestors walking upright for the first time to astronauts walking on the moon - we have repeatedly availed ourselves of this seemingly elusive quality, which he calls 'Deep Travel.' The sensation of Deep Travel can overtake us, Hiss says, whenever we tap into a sophisticated, wide-awake awareness we all possess. With a wealth of examples - from evocative accounts of his own journeys to celebrated travel writing across the centuries - Hiss identifies and rescues this powerful capacity and sets out simple techniques for accessing it no matter where we are. And this is only a jumping-off point for an original and penetrating explanation of how Deep Travel radically alters our perception of not only where we are but also when we are, by placing us in an 'extended present,' and how it acts as an open-sesame to enlarge and enrich the world around us. Going even further, he investigates how we can remain absolutely still but travel in time itself, as our horizons move backward to include layers of nature and human culture that have gone before, or project us forward to consider what our actions will mean to those who will inhabit our spot on earth a few generations from now. Whether travel takes you around the corner or around the world, once you've read In Motion, no journey will ever feel the same.

Book excerpt: BE INSPIRED TO PUT YOUR DREAMS IN MOTION92% of people fail to follow their dreams. While each person's reasons may differ, this book, Dream Chaser, has been written to put a dent in the sad reality of people not putting their dreams in motion. Drawing from both her personal experience and faith, Jennifer Hammock has discovered three overarching barriers that keep dreamers only dreaming and never doing. They are what she calls "The Big Three". When chasing your dreams, you have to overcome and address at least three areas in your life:1. Mental Barriers2. Faith Factors3. How Bad Do You Want It? Dream Chaser is a strategically written guide to equip readers with the tools, mindset, and inspiration needed to overcome these barriers. Within the pages of this book, those who need clarity, a motivating gut check, and who desire a fulfilling life will finally find the answers to putting their dreams in motion.

Book excerpt: Dreams seem the most private territory of experience. Yet Dreaming Culture argues they are a space in which we practice, consider, question, and adapt cultural models of the self, gender, sexuality, relationships, and agency. Through an innovative "dream ethnography" from college students in the northwestern U.S., this book contributes to recent research on dreaming and the brain in psychology and continuing research on dreaming and the self in clinical psychology and psychological anthropology. Dreaming Culture uses critical theory to understand power relations embedded in cultural models, a perspective often lacking in cognitive anthropology and in psychological studies of self and mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early modern period, western Europe was transformed by the proliferation of new worlds—geographic worlds found in the voyages of discovery and conceptual and celestial worlds opened by natural philosophy, or science. The response to incredible overseas encounters and to the profound technological, religious, economic, and intellectual changes occurring in Europe was one of nearly overwhelming wonder, expressed in a rich variety of texts. In the need to manage this wonder, to harness this imaginative overabundance, Mary Baine Campbell finds both the sensational beauty of early scientific works and the beginnings of the divergence of the sciences—particularly geography, astronomy, and anthropology—from the writing of fiction. Campbell's learned and brilliantly perceptive new book analyzes a cross section of texts in which worlds were made and unmade; these texts include cosmographies, colonial reports, works of natural philosophy and natural history, fantastic voyages, exotic fictions, and confessions. Among the authors she discusses are André Thevet, Thomas Hariot, Francis Bacon, Galileo, Margaret Cavendish, and Aphra Behn. Campbell's emphasis is on developments in England and France, but she considers works in languages other than English or French which were well known in the polyglot book culture of the time. With over thirty well-chosen illustrations, Wonder and Science enhances our understanding of the culture of early modern Europe, the history of science, and the development of literary forms, including the novel and ethnography.

Book excerpt: Tracing the cultural, material, and discursive history of an early manifestation of media culture in the making. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, huge circular panoramas presented their audiences with resplendent representations that ranged from historic battles to exotic locations. Such panoramas were immersive but static. There were other panoramas that moved—hundreds, and probably thousands of them. Their history has been largely forgotten. In Illusions in Motion, Erkki Huhtamo excavates this neglected early manifestation of media culture in the making. The moving panorama was a long painting that unscrolled behind a “window” by means of a mechanical cranking system, accompanied by a lecture, music, and sometimes sound and light effects. Showmen exhibited such panoramas in venues that ranged from opera houses to church halls, creating a market for mediated realities in both city and country. In the first history of this phenomenon, Huhtamo analyzes the moving panorama in all its complexity, investigating its relationship to other media and its role in the culture of its time. In his telling, the panorama becomes a window for observing media in operation. Huhtamo explores such topics as cultural forms that anticipated the moving panorama; theatrical panoramas; the diorama; the "panoramania" of the 1850s and the career of Albert Smith, the most successful showman of that era; competition with magic lantern shows; the final flowering of the panorama in the late nineteenth century; and the panorama's afterlife as a topos, traced through its evocation in literature, journalism, science, philosophy, and propaganda.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What, if anything, do dreams tell us about ourselves? What is the relationship between types of sleep and types of dreams? Does dreaming serve any purpose? Or are dreams simply meaningless mental noise--"unmusical fingers wandering over the piano keys"? With expertise in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, Owen Flanagan is uniquely qualified to answer these questions. And in Dreaming Souls he provides both an accessible survey of the latest research on sleep and dreams and a compelling new theory about the nature and function of dreaming. Flanagan argues that while sleep has a clear biological function and adaptive value, dreams are merely side effects, "free riders," irrelevant from an evolutionary point of view. But dreams are hardly unimportant. Indeed, Flanagan argues that dreams are self-expressive, the result of our need to find or to create meaning, even when we're sleeping. Rejecting Freud's theory of manifest and latent content--of repressed wishes appearing in disguised form--Flanagan shows how brainstem activity during sleep generates a jumbled profusion of memories, images, thoughts, emotions, and desires, which the cerebral cortex then attempts to shape into a more or less coherent story. Such dream-narratives range from the relatively mundane worries of non REM sleep to the fantastic confabulations of deep REM that resemble psychotic episodes in their strangeness. But however bizarre these narratives may be, they can shed light on our mental life, our well being, and our sense of self. Written with clarity, lively wit, and remarkable insight, Dreaming Souls offers a fascinating new way of apprehending one of the oldest mysteries of mental life.

Book excerpt: "What is Dreaming? Why do we dream? And what is the connection between our dreams and those of others? Now, in The Dreaming Universe, Fred Alan Wolf probes into the furthest recesses of the human mind and proposes a new understanding of how and why we dream." "Uncovering the mysteries of out-of-body and near-death experiences, lucid dreaming and telepathy, Wolf brings groundbreaking new research to life and illustrates how dreams link us together. In this mind-opening account, he travels from the ancient Greek "dreaming temples" to the sleep research laboratories of today, from Australian Aboriginal dreamers to the Tibetan monks' "dream into being." Drawing on his own background in physics, Wolf links quantum physics to Freudian and Jungian models of consciousness to explain the imagery of dreams and how dreams relate to the mind. The Dreaming Universe argues that matter evolves into life-forms through dreaming as a means of developing self-consciousness - that is, we dream to develop a sense of self." "Wolf's unique perspective as a physicist and his experiences throughout the world, from St. Petersburg to the Australian outback, bring to life the world of dreams and dreaming. Everyone dreams - and everyone will find a fascinating exploration of our most personal experiences in The Dreaming Universe."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: The times when alternative reading and writing is becoming stark, Pratik Pandya’s expedition in the enigma of art has elegantly expressed the essence of it’s literary form-lyric and poetry writing. Certain creations from the creative journey so far have been compiled and categorized in four categories. From the motivational ones that fan up the flames in belly to the philosophical ones that ponders on the contemporary events, from the ones reflecting the blessings and curse of love to the ones signifying the echoes and ethos of the environment, the book sparkles the physical and metaphysical colors of several subjects. Description of selective lines has been delivered in specific creations perceiving that misinterpretation of a positive conception can cloud the divinity of the creative piece besides descending the image of the creator. For establishing uniformity, a general narrative pertaining to the creation has also been served in all. Words drawn through stretching the brain and through bliss of the SANE whose divinity even bewildered the creator at times, has been inked in the book. As the outburst of the internal emotion was having it’s channelized motion in the form of these lines, the book has been titled-MOTION OF EMOTION and emotions birth during gestation of thoughts. Hence, the sub-title ‘Talks of Thoughts’ has also been served. So, engross yourself in this raw, delightful, satirical and bold compilation and stimulate your emotions within.
