Book excerpt: A Saint Bernard, despite its name, is unwelcome in church. Any dog, cat, sheep, terrapin, or bird clearly faces this same prohibition. Do animals have any relevance to humanity's continuing search for a spiritually rich life? Have they ever? Modern religions have all but banished the animal kingdom from our places of worship, and the non-human world has become increasingly marginalized and left out of religious discourse. And yet, just beneath the surface lies a lush tradition of animal archetypes, a spiritual bestiary in which Satan appears as a serpent, Jesus as the Lamb of God, and the Holy Spirit as a dove. Jehovah tests the depths of Daniel's belief in a lion's den. Our cathedrals teem with stone eagles, stags, and other symbolic fauna. Our deepest moral ideas find expression through animal stories like Aesop's fables, the Buddhist Jataka, and Orwell's Animal Farm. At the prehistoric heart of humanity's attempts to articulate spiritual sentiments, we find the caves of Lascaux and images, not of white-robed deities, but of the giant beasts of the Ice Age. Christopher Manes's groundbreaking Other Creations uncovers this tradition as it flourished in the past and as it lives on today. In this fascinating study, unlike any yet published, Manes shows how animals embodied our first attempts to express spirituality - as seen in the cave paintings of Ice Age Europeand how they continue to do so today in subtle, even unperceived ways, such as through sports team mascots, horror films, and toys. Drawing on both his literary scholarship and his personal search for a deeper experience of faith, Manes demonstrates that animals do not simply decorate our religious lives; they are part of the very texture of human spirituality.

Book excerpt: Pastiche…sounds like something you might eat…but the official definition is “an artistic work in a style that imitates that of another work, artist, or period.” A pastiche can be respectful or can descend to parody. Over the course of his long career F. Paul Wilson often has been invited to work with the characters and realms created by iconic writers in varied genres. Usually he would decline, but sometimes the temptation to play in a favorite author’s sandbox was too great and he gave in. As a fan of all the chosen authors, he approached the characters and worlds they created with the greatest respect. So in that sense, his pastiches are also homages. H. P. Lovecraft, Mary W. Shelley, Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Sax Rohmer, Dashiell Hammett, Arthur Conan Doyle…who could say no to working with their creations? You’ll find them all and more in Other Sandboxes: Stories with Characters and Places Shared with Writers Living and Dead by F. Paul Wilson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creations of the Mind presents sixteen original essays by theorists from a wide variety of disciplines who have a shared interest in the nature of artifacts and their implications for the human mind. All the papers are written specially for this volume, and they cover a broad range of topics concerned with the metaphysics of artifacts, our concepts of artifacts and the categories that they represent, the emergence of an understanding of artifacts in infants' cognitive development, as well as the evolution of artifacts and the use of tools by non-human animals. This volume will be a fascinating resource for philosophers, cognitive scientists, and psychologists, and the starting point for future research in the study of artifacts and their role in human understanding, development, and behaviour.

Book excerpt: In the early 21st century, intellectual and cultural resources emerge on all sides as candidates for ownership claims. Members of an anthropological research team investigating emergent economic relations in a part of the world renowned for its innovative approach to resources and transactions, wish to open up the vocabulary. In this unique volume, they bring an unexpected comparative perspective to global debates on intellectual and cultural property rights (IPR and CPR). The contributors bring from Melanesia their collective experience of people initiating, limiting and rationalizing claims through transactions in ways that challenge many of the assumptions behind the international language. In a bold theoretical move, "property" is put alongside two other terms: "transactions" and "creations." The former have a place in the anthropological tradition that now needs to be brought into the foreground. In turn, increasing interest in protecting intellectual and cultural resources means that questions about creativity have suddenly become pertinent to what is or is not being transacted. Yet is creativity a special preoccupation of modernity? How are we to talk about people's creative practices, when innovation becomes the basis for ownership claims? This book is full of surprises!

Book excerpt: A sweeping novel of politics, war, philosophy, and adventure–in a restored edition, featuring never-before-published material from Gore Vidal’s original manuscript–Creation offers a captivating grand tour of the ancient world. Cyrus Spitama, grandson of the prophet Zoroaster and lifelong friend of Xerxes, spent most of his life as Persian ambassador for the great king Darius. He traveled to India, where he discussed nirvana with Buddha, and to the warring states of Cathay, where he learned of Tao from Master Li and fished on the riverbank with Confucius. Now blind and aged in Athens–the Athens of Pericles, Sophocles, Thucydides, Herodotus, and Socrates–Cyrus recounts his days as he strives to resolve the fundamental questions that have guided his life’s journeys: how the universe was created, and why evil was created with good. In revisiting the fifth century b.c.–one of the most spectacular periods in history–Gore Vidal illuminates the ideas that have shaped civilizations for millennia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the intersection between artificial intelligence and two intellectual property rights: copyright and patents. The increasing use of artificial intelligence for generating creative and innovative output has an impact on copyright and patent laws around the world. The book aims to map and analyse that impact. The author considers how artificial intelligence systems may aid, or in some cases substitute for, human creators and inventors in the creative process. It is from this angle that the copyright and patent regimes in four jurisdictions (Europe, the United States, Australia and Japan) are investigated in depth. The author describes how these jurisdictions look at works and inventions generated through a process where artificial intelligence is present or prevalent, and examines how copyright and patent regimes should adapt to the reality of artificially intelligent creators and inventors. As the use of artificial intelligence to generate creative and innovative products becomes more common, this book will be a valuable resource to researchers, academics and policy makers alike.

Book excerpt: This first part of this saga summarizes the references of the most significant mythologies in the world that speak about the Creation of the world and the appearance of evil with all its forces and entities. The Sakla Rebellion includes passages that explain what the Kingdom of Heaven is like and who inhabits it. In a chronological way, it narrates the events that took place before the Earth existed as such and where the great links of science about the beginnings of life lie. This first work shows how the gods and the laws of nature emerged, giving rise not only to this orb, but also to the solar system.
