Book Synopsis The Gleipnir Hypothesis by : J. E. Tuzo
Download or read book The Gleipnir Hypothesis written by J. E. Tuzo and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone with a keen interest in physics, electronics, astronomy or cosmology will enjoy this book. The forces of nature are examined and interpreted in a different way, with surprising results. Readers of magazines such as Scientific American should have no problem understanding the common sense narrative. Newton told us that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directed along the line joining the particles. The author tended to take Newton's observation literally because it just felt right. Armed with that still abstract concept of "force lines", the mechanism by which an electric field "produces" a magnetic one and visa versa, started coming into focus. Just why an electric field, a magnetic one, and the axis of motion were always mutually perpendicular suddenly made sense. Any possible explanation for this unique 3-axis mechanism must of necessity belong to a very limited set. Since "force lines" also seemed to be fundamental to gravity, it was more likely THE explanation. The author realized he was onto something and continued refinement of the concepts. It then became apparent that the principle could be expanded to explain other interactions. Nothing was taken for granted and existing theories were temporarily ignored in favour of original experimental results. As each property of force lines was posited or modified, everything had to be re-checked against all phenomena explored. Needless to say it became a lengthy 18-year reiterative process with countless dead ends. The final result now seems quite simple as a new synthesis of existing knowledge, (and does not invoke umpteen dimensions or universes). Only a few fundamental properties are used to explain so many phenomena, and in ways that actually make sense. It turns out that the complexity in nature is due to those few properties modified by dynamics and probabilities. As the author went through existing theories old and new, the baby was not "thrown out with the bath water" on each transition. The amazing result is that force lines turned out to be the one thing that was missing in all existing theories and ironically, the one and only thing that could fit them all together. Einstein and Newton were both correct; in fact all of the masters were essentially right. This concise book has one revelation after another, from explaining inertia to new forms of matter, and begs to be read more than once.

Book Synopsis Narrating Law and Laws of Narration in Medieval Scandinavia by : Roland Scheel
Download or read book Narrating Law and Laws of Narration in Medieval Scandinavia written by Roland Scheel and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disputes lie at the heart of the sagas. Consequently, literary texts have been treated as sources of legal practice – narrations of law – while the sagas themselves and the handling of legal matters by the figures adhere to ‘laws of narration’. The volume addresses this intricate relationship between literature and social practice from the perspective of historians as well as philologists. The contributions focus not only on disputes and their solution in saga literature, but also on the representation of law and its history in sagas and Latin historiography from Scandinavia as well as the representation of laws and norms in mythological texts. They demonstrate that narrations of law provide an indispensable insight into legal culture and its connection to a wider framework of social norms, adjusting the impression given by the laws. The philological approaches underline that the narrative texts also have an agenda of their own when it comes to their representation of law, providing a mirror of conduct, criticising inequity, reinforcing the political and juridical position of kings or negotiating norms in mythological texts. Altogether, the volume underlines the unifying force exerted by a common fiction of law beyond its letter.

Book Synopsis The Philosopher and the Wolf by : Mark Rowlands
Download or read book The Philosopher and the Wolf written by Mark Rowlands and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The charming and poignant story of the relationship between a philosophy professor and his pet wolf. Mark Rowlands was a young philosophy professor, rootless and searching for life’s greater meaning. Shortly after arriving at the University of Alabama, he noticed a classified ad in the local paper advertising wolf cubs for sale and decided he had to investigate, if only out of curiosity. It was love at first sight, and the bond that grew between philosopher and wolf reaffirms for us the incredible relationships that exist between man and animal. Mark welcomed his new companion, Brenin, into his home. More than just an exotic pet, Brenin exerted an immense influence on Rowlands both as a person, and, strangely enough, as a philosopher, leading him to reevaluate his attitude toward love, happiness, nature, death, and the true meaning of companionship.
Book Synopsis The Shadow-walkers by : T. A. Shippey
Download or read book The Shadow-walkers written by T. A. Shippey and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elves and dwarves, trolls and giants, talking dragons, valkyries and werewolves: all these are familiar in modern movies and commercial fantasy. But where did the concepts come from? Who invented them? Almost two centuries ago, Jacob Grimm assembled what was known about such creatures in his work on 'Teutonic Mythology', which brought together ancient texts such as Beowulf and the Elder Edda with the material found in Grimm's own famous collection of fairy-tales. This collection of essays now updates Grimm, adding much material not known in his time, and also challenges his monolithic interpretations, pointing out the diversity of cultural traditions as well as the continuity of ancient myth.
Book Synopsis Falconry in the Mediterranean Context During the Pre-Modern Era by : Collectif
Download or read book Falconry in the Mediterranean Context During the Pre-Modern Era written by Collectif and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Falconry has been the pursuit of kings, emperors, emirs, khans, merchants and travellers for over 2000 years. It has provided subjects for literature and art, and been discussed in works of zoology, medicine, and law. The papers in this volume originated in a conference held at New York University at Abu Dhabi, and discuss issues on medieval falconry around the Mediterranean. This includes treatises on hawks and falcons, in Spain, the Levant, Byzantium, the Arabic Middle East, and a comparison between European and Arabic manuals. Other contributions consider falconry in Arabic poetry, in Provençal and Italian literature, in little known Neo-Latin poetry, in painting. There is place for legal aspects, with regulations concerning falconry in Jewish law, and for concrete realities: the spread of falconry from Central Asia to Europe as documented by archaeology, falconry at the Sforza court of Milan and the trade of the highly prized gyrfalcons. Through these case studies, the Mediterranean appears as a space of exchange and mutual influence.

Download or read book Abraham written by Joseph Blenkinsopp and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this discursive commentary Joseph Blenkinsopp explores the story of Abraham -- iconic ancestor of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam -- as told in Genesis 11-25. Presented in continuous discussion rather than in verse-by-verse form, Blenkinsopp s commentary focuses on the literary and theological artistry of the narrative as a whole. Blenkinsopp discussses a range of issues raised in the Abraham saga, including confirmation of God s promises, Isaac s sacrifice and the death of Jesus, and Abraham s other beloved son, Ishmael. Each chapter has a section called Filling in the Gaps, which probes some of the vast amount of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic commentary that the basic Genesis text has generated through the ages. In an epilogue Blenkinsopp looks at Abraham in early Christianity and expresses his own views, as a Christian, on Abraham. Readers of Blenkinsopp s Abraham: The Story of a Life will surely come away with a deeper, richer understanding of this seminal ancient figure.
Book Synopsis Genesis: Translation and Commentary by : Robert Alter
Download or read book Genesis: Translation and Commentary written by Robert Alter and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1997-09-17 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Here is] the Genesis for our generation and beyond."—Robert Fagles Genesis begins with the making of heaven and earth and all life, and ends with the image of a mummy—Joseph's—in a coffin. In between come many of the primal stories in Western culture: Adam and Eve's expulsion from the garden of Eden, Cain's murder of Abel, Noah and the Flood, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham's binding of Isaac, the covenant of God and Abraham, Isaac's blessing of Jacob in place of Esau, the saga of Joseph and his brothers. In Robert Alter's brilliant translation, these stories cohere in a powerful narrative of the tortuous relations between fathers and sons, husbands and wives, eldest and younger brothers, God and his chosen people, the people of Israel and their neighbors. Alter's translation honors the meanings and literary strategies of the ancient Hebrew and conveys them in fluent English prose. It recovers a Genesis with the continuity of theme and motif of a wholly conceived and fully realized book. His insightful, fully informed commentary illuminates the book in all its dimensions.
