Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enter the magical maze of mathematics and explore the surprising passageways of a fantastical world where logic and imagination converge. For mathematics is a maze—a maze in your head—a maze of ideas, a maze of logic. And that maze in your mind is a powerful tool for understanding an even bigger maze—the one of cause and effect that we call "the universe." That is its special kind of magic. Real magic. Strange magic. Infinitely fascinating magic. Acclaimed author Ian Stewart leads you swiftly and humorously through the junctions, byways, and secret passages of the magical maze to reveal its beauty, surprise, and power. Along the way, he reveals the infinite possibilities that arise from what he calls "the two-way trade between the natural world and the human mind." If you’ve always loved mathematics, you will find endless delights in the twists and turns of The Magical Maze. If you’ve always hated mathematics, a trip through this marvelous book will do much to change your mind.
Book Synopsis The Border Simulator by : Gabriel Dozal
Download or read book The Border Simulator written by Gabriel Dozal and published by One World. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A world-bending, lyrically rich poetry collection that reimagines the U.S.-Mexico border as both a real place and a living simulation—and tells the story of a pair of siblings trapped between the two “Word coyote Gabriel Dozal is crossing borders with this story. It’s his job: narrative poetry discovering a new language.”—Sandra Cisneros, author of Woman Without Shame “This crosser is a possession that someone wants but we’re not sure who and the crosser must often possess themselves. In perpetuity” In Gabriel Dozal’s debut collection, the U.S.-Mexico border is redefined as a place of invention; crossing it becomes a matter of simulation. The poems accompany Primitivo, who attempts to cross the border, an imaginary boundary that becomes more real and challenging as his journey progresses; and his sister, Primitiva, who lives an alternate, static life as an exploited migrant worker in la fabrica. The tech world and bureaucracy collide, with humanity falling by the wayside, as Primitiva endures drudgery in la fabrica. “In the past our ID cards were decorative. Now we switch off with someone else, another worker who will wipe the serenade from our eyes.” With no way to escape the simulation, Primitivo and Primitiva must participate in it, scheming to gain its favor. To win, you must be the best performer in the factory, the best imitation of a citizen, the best machine. Featuring a bilingual format for English and Spanish readers, The Border Simulator explores physical and metaphysical borders, as well as the digital divide of our modern era. With inventive imagery, spirited wordplay, and thrilling movement, these energetic poems oscillate between the harrowing and the joyful, interrogating, innovating, and ultimately redefining binaries and divisions.
Download or read book Border Crosser written by Tom Doyle and published by Tom Doyle. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a galaxy gone insane only mad person would fight for freedom. That person is Eris, a charismatic spy with a violent borderline personality and emotional amnesia—she doesn’t remember her loyalties. This allows her to pass from world to world without mental scanners detecting her long-term intentions, making her a “border crosser.” The Asylum cabal has artificially amplified Eris’s condition so that she’ll cause interstellar chaos for the limited time she survives. When Eris discovers the Asylum’s manipulation of her, she sets out to find its hidden leaders and destroy them. From decadent old Earth to the frontier estates of Mars, Eris hunts her first quarry, the Asylum’s architect of genocides. Her chase then leads her out to the stars, where she discovers still deadlier dangers from humanity’s past and her own. As she fights galaxy-spanning nightmares, Eris knows that her dream of revenge will fail unless she can somehow recover her own mind. “An electric shock to the senses from page one, Doyle's twisty story caroms from sex and psyche to AI and the destruction of worlds. Our conductor on this non-stop ride, Eris—a worthy heir to Buffy and Xena—is the unique and ferocious hero we didn't know we needed.” —Ashley Gable, writer for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Xena: Warrior Princess, and Person of Interest. “Darkly comic and slyly allusive, Border Crosser is a ripping good tale shot through with mordant social commentary. A fresh and intelligent take on forbidden AI, religious zealotry, borderline personality, sex, art, and genocide—not necessarily in that order—that stuck in my head and left me hankering for a sequel.” —Jo Miller, winner of four Emmy Awards, writer for The Daily Show (2009-2015), and late-night comedy showrunner. “This is not your parents' space opera! A cross between the Stainless Steel Rat, Jerry Cornelius, and Tank Girl, the titular agent is the antihero for our times. Doyle impresses with a strong voice, a unique narrator, and a challenging far-future setting that dangerously mirrors our present world.” —Alex Shvartsman, author of The Middling Affliction. "Here is a novel that starts at a gallop and then accelerates. Tom Doyle’s invention is sly and continuous, his command of the ins and outs of science fiction adventure is exhilarating. And in the redoubtable Eris, he has created a character who is smart and sexy and more than a little twisted. Border Crosser is a book you won’t soon forget." —James Patrick Kelly, Nebula Award winning author of Burn. "Tom Doyle’s Border Crosser is a hyperkinetic tour of a sprawling solar system and galaxy in a dark and delirious future. Doyle explores the deep, painful and unpleasant aspects of the psyche, showcasing some of the more repellent examples of human behavior, yet manages to bring a surprising amount of decency and affection to his story. The book speeds along at a breakneck pace, and will astonish you, wrench your heart, snatch your breath away, make you laugh, and move you." —Richard Paul Russo, author of Ship of Fools. "The bastard love-child of Philip K. Dick and the Marquis De Sade, BORDER CROSSER will sink into your mind like one of Frank Herbert's stone burners. This is revolutionary science fiction." —David J. Williams, author of The Mirrored Heavens.

Download or read book The Crosser's Maze written by Dorian Hart and published by . This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crosser's Maze is a legendary device, a mysterious artifact of mind, magic, and metal. The archmage Abernathy believes that it can permanently prevent the malevolent Naradawk Skewn from escaping his otherworldly prison and bringing the world to ruin. But the archmagi are spending all of their wizardly might keeping Naradawk locked away. The burden of finding the Crosser's Maze rests with Horn's Company. Dranko, Morningstar, and the rest of their ragtag band need only acquire the maze and bring it back to Abernathy. Nothing could be easier-except that no one knows exactly what the maze looks like. Or how big it is. Or precisely where it is. Or how to use it. Worse, the Crosser's Maze waits somewhere in the distant land of Kivia, on the far side of the Uncrossable Sea. The only means of getting there is a magical archway through which a hostile army is, even now, invading from the other side. And, as if all of that weren't dire enough, the evil Sharshun have sent an agent of their own to Kivia. She seeks the Crosser's Maze for herself-and she has a month head start. If she finds it first, the world of Spira is doomed. The Crosser's Maze is Book Two of The Heroes of Spira.

Book Synopsis Border Harms and Everyday Violence by : Evgenia Iliadou
Download or read book Border Harms and Everyday Violence written by Evgenia Iliadou and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek island of Lesvos is frequently the subject of news reports on the refugee ‘crisis’, but they only occasionally focus on the dire living conditions of asylum seekers already present on the island. Through direct experience as an activist in Lesvos refugee camps and detention centres, Iliadou gives voice to those with lived experiences of state violence. The author considers the escalation of EU border regime and deterrence policies seen in the past decade alongside their present impacts. Asking why the social harm and suffering border crossers experience is normalized and rendered invisible, the book highlights the collective, global responsibility for safeguarding refugees’ human rights.
Download or read book DMZ Crossing written by Suk-Young Kim and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Korean demilitarized zone might be among the most heavily guarded places on earth, but it also provides passage for thousands of defectors, spies, political emissaries, war prisoners, activists, tourists, and others testing the limits of Korean division. This book focuses on a diverse selection of inter-Korean border crossers and the citizenship they acquire based on emotional affiliation rather than constitutional delineation. Using their physical bodies and emotions as optimal frontiers, these individuals resist the stateÕs right to draw geopolitical borders and define their national identity. Drawing on sources that range from North Korean documentary films, museum exhibitions, and theater productions to protester perspectives and interviews with South Korean officials and activists, this volume recasts the history of Korean division and draws a much more nuanced portrait of the regionÕs Cold War legacies. The book ultimately helps readers conceive of the DMZ as a dynamic summation of personalized experiences rather than as a fixed site of historical significance.
