Book Synopsis Information is Alive by : Joke Brouwer
Download or read book Information is Alive written by Joke Brouwer and published by V2_ publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The archive has of late proven to be a powerful metaphor: history is viewed as an archive of facts from which one can draw at will; our bodies have become a genetic archive since being digitally opened up in the human genome project; our language is an archive of meanings that can be unlocked using philological tools; and the unconscious is an archive of the traumatic experiences that mold our identity. More and more artists and architects are developing software systems in which data is automatically organized into complex knowledge systems, a process in which the user is only one of the determining factors. Databases, software and archives increasingly form the inspiration for artistic interventions. Information Is Alive considers the artistic potential of these couplings via a selection of essays, interviews and projects by anthropologist Arjun Appadurai, philosopher Brian Massumi, writer Sadie Plant, paleontologist Simon Conway Morris, artists Margarete Jahrmann, Lev Manovich, Michael Saup, Jeffrey Shaw, Stahl Stenslie and others. Published on the occasion of the third Dutch Electronic Art Festival (DEAF03).

Download or read book It's Alive written by Chris Meyer and published by Currency. This book was released on 2003-05-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why we are on the cusp of a new economic era that will make the changes and challenges of the Information Era seem like child’s play From the bestselling authors of Blur—a defining book of the Information Age—comes a startling glimpse into the near future and the emerging economy that awaits us. It’s Alive foretells the jolt the world is about to receive as the science of molecular evolution races out of the laboratories and into the business world. Think back to the early 1970s. Imagine the opportunities for your business, career choice, and investments had you received an advance report on the ways in which computer and information technology would revolutionize the world. It’s Alive provides that opportunity today: a realistic and persuasive look into the future—the molecular economy—and how it is starting to overtake and reshape the Information Age. Today’s gene mapping and molecular engineering are equivalent to the introduction of transistor radios at the advent of the information economy. Solid-state technology moved from the labs into the business arena, providing in turn the transistor, the microprocessor, and the modem—and the information business. During the next ten years, molecular technology will follow the same pattern, moving from the lab and into the basic operation of the corporation itself. Chris Meyer and Stan Davis are our guides in understanding this new future. They show that not only biological systems evolve. The rules of evolution help explain the process of change in biology, business, and the economy, thereby providing a management guide to the business world around the corner. It’s Alive is not science fiction or futurism. It bases its insights and predictions on the impact the molecular economy is already having in such diverse business environments as manufacturing, financial services, and energy. Through in-depth case studies of Capital One Financial, the U.S. Marine Corps, British Petroleum, and the biotech firm Maxygen, Meyer and Davis show how adaptive behavior works in the real world. As the rules of evolution combine with the connected economy, our business world will become unpredictable, volatile, and continually adaptive—in other words, alive. Also available as an eBook.

The Alive Sales Rep is a combination of practical tools and theory that will help those who read it to dramatically improve their life and sales success.
Download or read book Still Alive written by Ruth Kluger and published by The Feminist Press at CUNY. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A controversial bestseller likened to Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel, Still Alive is a harrowing and fiercely bittersweet Holocaust memoir of survival: "a book of breathtaking honesty and extraordinary insight" (Los Angeles Times). Swept up as a child in the events of Nazi-era Europe, Ruth Kluger saw her family's comfortable Vienna existence systematically undermined and destroyed. By age eleven, she had been deported, along with her mother, to Theresienstadt, the first in a series of concentration camps which would become the setting for her precarious childhood. Interwoven with blunt, unsparing observations of childhood and nuanced reflections of an adult who has spent a lifetime thinking about the Holocaust, Still Alive rejects all easy assumptions about history, both political and personal. Whether describing the abuse she met at her own mother's hand, the life-saving generosity of a woman SS aide in Auschwitz, the foibles and prejudices of Allied liberators, or the cold shoulder offered by her relatives when she and her mother arrived as refugees in New York, Kluger sees and names an unexpected reality which has little to do with conventional wisdom or morality tales. "Among the reasons that Still Alive is such an important book is its insistence that the full texture of women's existence in the Holocaust be acknowledged, not merely as victims. . . . [Kluger] insists that we look at the Holocaust as honestly as we can, which to her means being unsentimental about the oppressed as well as about their oppressors." —Washington Post Book World

Book excerpt: Minds Alive explores the enduring role and intrinsic value of libraries, archives, and public institutions in the digital age. Featuring international contributors, this volume delves into libraries and archives as institutions and institutional partners, the professional responsibilities of librarians and archivists, and the ways in which librarians and archivists continue to respond to the networked age, digital culture, and digitization. The endless possibilities and robust importance of libraries and archives are at the heart of this optimistic collection. Topics include transformations in the networked digital age; Indigenous issues and challenges in custodianship, ownership, and access; the importance of the harmonization of memory institutions today; and the overarching significance of libraries and archives in the public sphere. Libraries and archives - at once public institutions providing both communal and private havens of discovery - are being repurposed and transformed in intercultural contexts. Only by keeping pace with users' changing needs can they continue to provide the richest resources for an informed citizenry.

Book Synopsis Free and Fully Alive by : Karrie Garcia
Download or read book Free and Fully Alive written by Karrie Garcia and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dynamic, practical guide to embracing your past and discovering a deeper connection to yourself, God, and others so you can reclaim who God created you to be. Many of us yearn for a sense of purpose, but we wonder how we can overcome the trauma and mistakes of our past. We keep doing and doing for God, hoping to erase our story so we can find our true calling. Free and Fully Alive is a powerful reminder that our stories hold the key to our true purpose, and it's who we are in those stories, not what we do, that is the secret to living the abundant life God promises. As author Karrie Garcia draws on her own experiences and her expertise as a life coach, she shows us why God's redemptive purpose for our lives doesn't begin once we're free from pain, and as we are vulnerable with God, ourselves, and others, we find that we are already who God created us to be. A vibrant guide to getting unstuck, Free and Fully Alive equips you to: Ditch the behavior modification strategies and focus on true heart transformation Stop chasing external achievements when what you long for is internal change Silence that inner critic and find the voice of truth through the Word of God Realize that God's love for you has nothing to do with all you accomplish today Understand that your past does not disqualify you from God's purpose Feel fully alive in the story you're living. You are meant to be here. In fact, that's the greatest purpose of all.

Vienna 1919: The Jewish family Nathan feels the growing hate for Jews and persecution of Jews in Austria. Culminating with Austria being annexed by Germany in 1938 and World War II. Is their fate sealed? Denmark 2006: The lawyer Daniel Danielsen from the town of Skive is given an old wardrobe. Underneath the drawer of the wardrobe he finds a parcel with a letter. Hidden and forgotten for more than 60 years. What is the content of the parcel? Who is it meant for? Who left it there and where is the person who wrote the letter? Daniel decides to begin investigating. It takes him to Vienna. Here he looks for traces. He visits the beastly concentration camp in Mauthausen. Is Nazism still an item in Vienna in the year of 2006? In Israel Daniel looks for information in the register of the holocaust museum Yad Vashem. Apparently a dead end. And then still...

Reporting of Jews leading to oppression, forced labor and death in the KZ-camp Mauthausen. Here a very special kind of execution was used by the Nazis from a place named the Parachute Rock. Cheaper than shooting or the use of the gas chamber. And excellent entertainment the guards found. Some people think Daniel finds out too much and he is taken to a non-voluntary 'sightseeing' tour to Mauthausen. To the Parachute Rock.

Book excerpt: Don't Miss the Original Series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Starring John Krasinski! Tom Clancy delivers a #1 New York Times bestselling Jack Ryan novel that will remind readers why he is the acknowledged master of international intrigue and nonstop military action. It is The Campus. Secretly created under the administration of President Jack Ryan, its sole purpose is to eliminate terrorists and those who protect them. Officially, it has no connection to the American government—a necessity in a time when those in power consider themselves above such arcane ideals as loyalty, justice, and right or wrong. Now covert intelligence expert Jack Ryan Jr. and his compatriots at The Campus—joined by black ops warriors John Clark and “Ding” Chavez—have come up against their greatest foe: a sadistic killer known as the Emir. Mastermind of countless horrific attacks, the Emir has eluded capture by every law enforcement agency in the world. But his greatest devastation is yet to be unleashed as he plans a monumental strike at the heart of America. On the trail of the Emir, Jack Ryan Jr. will find himself following in his legendary father’s footsteps on a manhunt that will take him and his allies across the globe, into the shadowy arenas of political gamesmanship, and back onto U.S. soil in a race to prevent the possible fall of the West....

Book Synopsis Byzantium in the Ninth Century: Dead or Alive? by : Leslie Brubaker
Download or read book Byzantium in the Ninth Century: Dead or Alive? written by Leslie Brubaker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 9th-century Byzantium has always been viewed as a mid-point between Iconoclasm and the so-called Macedonian revival; in scholarly terms it is often treated as a ’dead’ century. The object of these papers is to question such an assumption. They present a picture of political and military developments, legal and literary innovations, artisanal production, and religious and liturgical changes from the Anatolian plateau to the Greek-speaking areas of Italy that are only now gradually emerging as distinct. Investigation of how the 9th-century Byzantine world was perceived by outsiders also reveals much about Byzantine success and failure in promoting particular views of itself. The chapters here, by an international group of scholars, embody current research in this field; they recover many lost aspects of 9th-century Byzantium and shed new light on the Mediterranean world in a transitional century. The papers in this volume derive from the 30th Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, held for the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies at the University of Birmingham in March 1996.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read the memoirs of a former modern-day warrior turned spiritualist. Dubbed as, “bad ass spiritualism for dummies”, this is certainly not your mom and dad’s spiritual book! Catania returns with a collection of more unadulterated, compelling true-life stories that detail his own enlightening transformation from atheist to spiritualist. *Winner of 2nd Place (Runner-Up) in The San Francisco Book Festival 2023 (Spiritual/Religious) This is the follow up book to the multi-award-winning title, The Atheist and The Afterlife – An Autobiography. It is the second installment of The Awakening Series. Take a second look at spiritualism for the modern-day human. This exciting book is both practical and enlightening. It is an easy-to-use guide to life for anyone interested in spirituality and science in the 21st century. Just as in the first book, all the concepts, experiences and principles are taken from real life events. Catania, now a strong believer in the afterlife, searches for answers. A vigorous, intense, search is on to connect science and spirituality and find how they align. Motivated by a will to understand what is happening to himself, he embarks on a quest to fill in the blanks of what makes it so. Blind faith isn’t an option, as a former atheist, he continues to be his own biggest skeptic. Through training and studies, both formal and informal, he begins to piece together a puzzle, bringing himself closer to the acceptance of his newly found reality. Uncovering universal principles and laws, learning how to use them, he writes of them in a way, in which most anyone can recreate them to enrich their own lives. You’ll read about the four principles of ascension, the laws of attainment, how to use your higher consciousness to create and manifest. How to read the signs you are being given each day and how to decode and utilize them without fear or apprehension. Understand aspects of consciousness and the mind, including its multiple layers and parts that create a struggle within us, causing a constant battle for superiority. Learn to remove the self-struggle within, to be harmonious with your higher self. As a student of consciousness, life, death, and the afterlife, Catania writes of his own experiences with these concepts so you can view them from a practical perspective. Written with humility, humor, and sarcasm, each story is based on real life events that are sure to surprise and entertain you.
