Book excerpt: Zenya Cobb has had enough of a traditional life with her husband-to-be, Pavell. She returns to her life as a space pirate, setting out to find and claim as much gold and other treasures as she can. Except, due to a freak accident, she crash-lands on a planet that shouldn't exist - The mythical lost planet of Vunerth, reputed to have been the galaxy's richest spot until an asteroid destroyed it many years ago. But it's still very much around, and holds more secrets than even Zenya can imagine. She meets the mysterious natives, a peaceful alien community of traders with their own secrets, and hears whispers of conspiracy. Could Vunerth's disappearance be part of a web of darkness perpetuated by the government? While Zenya reels, her determined partner, Pavell chases her across the galaxy. But when they are reunited, they must make a choice. Leave this bizarre planet in their past and return to a life of peace, or risk their lives teaming up with the natives to save the planet and expose an intergalactic lie?
Download or read book Lying written by Eliot Michaelson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophers have been thinking about lying for several thousand years, yet this topic has only recently become a central area of academic interest for philosophers of language, epistemologists, ethicists, and political philosophers. Lying: Language, Knowledge, Ethics, Politics provides the first dedicated collection of philosophical essays on the emerging topic of lying. Adopting an inter-subdisciplinary approach, this volume breaks new methodological ground in exploring the ways that a better understanding of language can inform the study of knowledge, ethics, or politics - and vice-versa. How can we lie when it is unclear what exactly we believe, or when we have contradictory beliefs? Can corporations lie, and if so how? Is lying always wrong, or always at least prima facie wrong? What can one learn from a liar? Can we lie to mindless machines? These engaging questions and many more are explored at length in this accessible reference text.

Book Synopsis Bright Green Lies by : Derrick Jensen
Download or read book Bright Green Lies written by Derrick Jensen and published by Monkfish Book Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This disturbing but very important book makes clear we must dig deeper than the normal solutions we are offered.”—Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia Works "Bright Green Lies exposes the hypocrisy and bankruptcy of leading environmental groups and their most prominent cheerleaders. The best-known environmentalists are not in the business of speaking truth, or even holding up rational solutions to blunt the impending ecocide, but instead indulge in a mendacious and self-serving delusion that provides comfort at the expense of reality. They fail to state the obvious: We cannot continue to wallow in hedonistic consumption and industrial expansion and survive as a species. The environmental debate, Derrick Jensen and his coauthors argue, has been distorted by hubris and the childish desire by those in industrialized nations to sustain the unsustainable. All debates about environmental policy need to begin with honoring and protecting, not the desires of the human species, but with the sanctity of the Earth itself. We refuse to ask the right questions because these questions expose a stark truth—we cannot continue to live as we are living. To do so is suicidal folly. ‘Tell me how you seek, and I will tell you what you are seeking,’ the German philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said. This is the power of Bright Green Lies: It asks the questions most refuse to ask, and in that questioning, that seeking, uncovers profound truths we ignore at our peril.”—Chris Hedges, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of America: The Farewell Tour

Book Synopsis Understanding the Universe by : George Greenstein
Download or read book Understanding the Universe written by George Greenstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-18 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A student-active introduction to astronomy, emphasizing inquiry learning so students will clearly understand our universe and the scientific method. Within-text and end-of-chapter questions check understanding of concepts and require the student to think critically through astronomy-based problems. 'Nature of Science' and 'Detectives on the Case' sections in each chapter encourage students to take on the role of a scientist and so develop an understanding of how scientific progress is made, leading students through a chain of arguments of forming and testing hypotheses, in the context of specific astronomical topics. By focusing on key topics, the student is able to develop a deeper understanding of the core areas of astronomy. Math is used to make intuitive points and kept simple by using a two-track system to first describe the logic of the calculation followed by a more detailed example. Simple illustrations support the text and step students through concepts visually.

Book Synopsis Mirror of Fortune by : Dr. A. Shanker
Download or read book Mirror of Fortune written by Dr. A. Shanker and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirror of Fortune: Journey of Dr. A. Shanker by Dr. A. Shanker: Embark on a captivating journey through the inspiring life of Dr. A. Shanker as he shares his personal memoir, offering profound insights into his achievements, challenges, personal growth, and reflections that serve as a motivating story of overcoming obstacles and pursuing success. This book ‘Mirror of Fortune’ is such an instrument to know the circumstances and conditions of life through astrology that leads to recognizing the signs of favorable and unfavorable circumstances. Those who believe in and practice Jyotish, need it at every step. Yet, sometimes when a person with dexterity in this sphere is not found, people have to face serious problems. In today’s life, those having insufficient knowledge and who have traveled frequently and stayed in jungles and deserts too face difficulties. The sphere of astrology is very wide. One should have mastery over its different aspects to comprehend satisfactorily. Unless and until one attains deep knowledge and expertise his sincerity and honesty remain dubious. Meanwhile, whatever I could gain through my study and experience I have put together in this book. I take no pride in doing so as I am not an erudite scholar who is presenting his views to impress readers of his merits and accomplishments. To me, there is no difference between fame and the sun on a rainy day.

Book excerpt: Editor’s Note Dear beautiful readers, Year 2013 has begun with crackers and wishes just like another same ordinary year and the next day everything returned to the same routine like it did the earlier year. Did any of you even reflect and reminisced the time you had in year 2012 or even made resolutions for the New Year? May be yes or may be a big caps lock NO for some. For some it may be a year of optimism yet for some it is still the same old year with loans and labor. However, I always believed that the ultimate happiness of this beautiful life depends on how you commit yourself to move on from the odds and positively trying to keep up with the things you have been performing wonderfully. Everything lies within the thoughts of oneself and the one who could live and adjust despite the chaos are the real winners for all the years to come. No matter how hard you lived with, no matter how hard you still tried on and no matter how hard you struggled through, when it is the first time you do a mistake remember it’s going to be the last time you will ever do that again. It’s an another year, full of hopes and glories. Live it like you are never going to regret it, live it like it is the last time you would ever live and live it like you are the best person ever on earth. And on this year, we are extremely happy to bestow you with the successful 19th edition of our college esteem magazine, Gangri Langtso. We are more proud to have been able to publish it despite our first experience of such prestigious opportunity. We are extremely thankful to the wonderful contributions of our students who were always willing to help us with their creative articles, our committed advisors for guiding us in making our magazine more effective and impeccable in all way possible and most importantly, my members of the editorial board who worked diligently throughout the journey and for being so supportive. The pride of the magazine would be indispensable without the untiring efforts and the hard work of all the above people. However, we would highly acknowledge any kind of feedbacks in future and would like to extend our sincere apology if the contents of magazine doesn’t reach up to your expectations and wishes. We did the least corrections in the articles aiming to keep the original thoughts of writers in priority. Before concluding, on behalf of our editorial board, I would like to welcome the successful new 18th batch medical students and 9th batch Astro students in this warm institution of happy families. Good luck to all of you for the new experience of learning. Last say: we pay our sincere solidarity and salute to the martyrs of Tibet who sacrificed their living lives for the freedom of Tibet, for the voice for the voiceless and above all for the glory of the nation. We truly respect their dedication and their approach in seeking justice and in elevating the dormant issue of Tibet at high. We are truly disheartened for the huge loss of more than hundred lives till now. They were all courageous people with perfect dreams. May their souls lie beside the most cozy corner of all divines.

Download or read book Life in Space written by Lucas John Mix and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-31 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is a property of the universe. We may not know how it began or where else it exists, but we have come to know a great deal about how it relates to stars, planets, and the larger cosmos. In clear and compelling terms, this book shows how the emerging field of astrobiology investigates the nature of life in space. How did life begin? How common is it? Where do we fit in? These are the important questions that astrobiology seeks to answer. A truly interdisciplinary endeavor, astrobiology looks at the evidence of astronomy, biology, physics, chemistry, and a host of other fields. A grand narrative emerges, beginning from the smallest, most common particles yet producing amazing complexity and order. Lucas Mix is a congenial guide through the depths of astrobiology, exploring how the presence of planets around other stars affects our knowledge of our own; how water, carbon, and electrons interact to form life as we know it; and how the processes of evolution and entropy act upon every living thing. This book also reveals that our understanding and our context are deeply intertwined. It shows how much astrobiology can tell us about who we are—as a planet, as a species, and as individuals.
