Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your every significant choice -- every important decision you make -- is determined by a force operating deep inside your mind: your perspective on time -- your internal, personal time zone. This is the most influential force in your life, yet you are virtually unaware of it. Once you become aware of your personal time zone, you can begin to see and manage your life in exciting new ways. In The Time Paradox, Drs. Zimbardo and Boyd draw on thirty years of pioneering research to reveal, for the first time, how your individual time perspective shapes your life and is shaped by the world around you. Further, they demonstrate that your and every other individual's time zones interact to create national cultures, economics, and personal destinies. You will discover what time zone you live in through Drs. Zimbardo and Boyd's revolutionary tests. Ask yourself: • Does the smell of fresh-baked cookies bring you back to your childhood? • Do you believe that nothing will ever change in your world? • Do you believe that the present encompasses all and the future and past are mere abstractions? • Do you wear a watch, balance your checkbook, and make to-do lists -- every day? • Do you believe that life on earth is merely preparation for life after death? • Do you ruminate over failed relationships? • Are you the life of every party -- always late, always laughing, and always broke? These statements are representative of the seven most common ways people relate to time, each of which, in its extreme, creates benefits and pitfalls. The Time Paradox is a practical plan for optimizing your blend of time perspectives so you get the utmost out of every minute in your personal and professional life as well as a fascinating commentary about the power and paradoxes of time in the modern world. No matter your time perspective, you experience these paradoxes. Only by understanding this new psychological science of time zones will you be able to overcome the mental biases that keep you too attached to the past, too focused on immediate gratification, or unhealthily obsessed with future goals. Time passes no matter what you do -- it's up to you to spend it wisely and enjoy it well. Here's how.

Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twenty-first century a leading American scientist received a special assignment from a US government's top official. Then he became threatened by a mysterious evil force. The sinister killer threw him into the abyss of Hell where no organic matter can be sustained and no living creature can survive. But the human spirit proved to be undefeated, even suffering the loss of three lives the hero is tough enough to survive, transform to a God, fight back and repel the enemy. His adversary is an ancient incarnation of evil, his enemies are much numerous, but once defeated Gods in a Sacred Zone of Lazakria and robotic creatures from neutral space colonies are awaiting for his help. The divine virtue of the ancient relic of godly power--the Eye of the Beholder--enabled Alan to unlock the mystery of Time Mechanism, a device which could turn the Tide of Time. Destroying enemy naval armadas in a harsh battle, a hero realized that the brutality of the first encounter with the Empire of Evil was nothing else than a beginning of a Mortal Combat--The War of Armageddon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our universe remains trapped in a sealing system that keeps humanity without an opportunity to evolve as a species. It can only be released from the future. Time and space is not what it seems, therefore Sofia lives a paradox when she awakens in a future time 25 light years from Earth, on the planet Riga, belonging to the constellation of Lira. Here Mohulee, your hostess, will offer you the opportunity to embark on a journey to find the key that will be able to dismantle the sealing system that has kept humanity on Earth in a loop of repetition of conflicts for hundreds of thousands of years. Sofia, coming from the past, will be guided by Mohulee, her alter ego from the future, and together they will leave in search of the key; but in the way it will be with Po, a nexus between both in different times and planets; while the Earth is about to enter a negative timeline, where humanity is about to disappear. The three characters will need to converge on a unified time and space, in order to dismantle the sealing system, and generate for the earth a future in freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of paradox dates back to ancient philosophy, yet only recently have scholars started to explore this idea in organizational phenomena. Two decades ago, a handful of provocative theorists urged researchers to take seriously the study of paradox, and thereby deepen our understanding of plurality, tensions, and contradictions in organizational life. Studies of organizational paradox have grown exponentially over the past two decades, canvassing varied phenomena, methods, and levels of analysis. These studies have explored such tensions as today and tomorrow, global integration and local distinctions, collaboration and competition, self and others, mission and markets. Yet even with both the depth and breadth of interest in organizational paradoxes, key issues around definitions and application remain. This handbook seeks to aid, engage, and fuel the expanding interest in organizational paradox. Contributions to this volume depict how paradox studies inform, and are informed, by other theoretical perspectives, while creating a resource that enables scholars to learn about and apply this lens across varied organizational phenomena. The increasing complexity, volatility, and ambiguity in our world continually surfaces paradoxical dynamics. Thus, this handbook offers insights to scholars across organizational theory.

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered why the world is the way it is? Why so much fear, conflict and disagreement permeates nations, societies and even individuals? Why some people appear to be living the dream while others wrestle with the mundane? Why the codes we follow in science and religion fail to align? Why YOU? The answer lies deep within. Let me take you on a journey to the source of your being. To unlock the knowledge to the key fundamental principle of existence. The understanding of this spiritual law is the cause and resolution to all of lifes paradoxes. It also reveals the mystery of who you really are and your connection not just to the world but the whole universe. This book is for those of us lost in the religious mire of uncertainty, for those of us in the pursuit of scientific confirmation and for all the seekers out there who believe life is much, much more!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her analysis of the South African novelist J. M. Coetzee's literary and intellectual career, Jane Poyner illuminates the author's abiding preoccupation with what Poyner calls the "paradox of postcolonial authorship". Writers of conscience or conscience-stricken writers of the kind Coetzee portrays, whilst striving symbolically to bring the stories of the marginal and the oppressed to light, always risk reimposing the very authority they seek to challenge. From Dusklands to Diary of a Bad Year, Poyner traces how Coetzee rehearses and revises his understanding of the ethics of intellectualism in parallel with the emergence of the "new South Africa". She contends that Coetzee's modernist aesthetics facilitate a more exacting critique of the problems that encumber postcolonial authorship, including the authority it necessarily engenders. Poyner is attentive to the ways Coetzee's writing addresses the writer's proper role with respect to the changing ethical demands of contemporary political life. Theoretically sophisticated and accessible, her book is a major contribution to our understanding of the Nobel Laureate and to postcolonial studies.

Book excerpt: Modern physics questions the absoluteness of time. Yet the cosmological theories of Mach, Einstein and Barbour are no more testable, given the scale of the universe, than those of the first theoretical physicist, Parmenides, who was also a poet. He described how change cannot logically exist yet it observably exists. This kind of paradox is the stuff of poetry. Since the arrival of quantum physics it is the stuff of modern physics too. Poetry is inclusive of many levels of meaning, among them rational meaning, but it is also supra-rational. Traditionally science and logical argument must be exclusive of distractions and stick to a single line of thought. But perhaps physics can only advance, and pouty can only maintain what Thomas Hardy called its 'sustaining power', if each is open to the thinking of the other. This book explores the finding s of neuroscience as well as the experience of poets and physicists when faced with the paradox of Time/No Time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far from merely recycling what we already know about certain paradoxes, this book breaks entirely new ground by providing what everyone really wants: solutions. The king of all paradoxes is the Liar ('This statement is false.' If it is true, it is false; if it is false, it is true), which in its earliest form is over two and a half thousand years old. Throughout all this time it has resisted every attempt to fully understand it. This work finally unlocks the secrets of the Liar, exposing principles, patterns and formulae that have long lain hidden. Several other important paradoxes also come under the logical searchlight and they too surrender their treasures. Though paradoxes are inherently difficult, this book approaches them in a clear and entertaining manner, using plain English. Secrets of the Paradox is written for the general reader, yet is sufficiently rigorous to satisfy the demands of the professional philosopher. If you relish an intellectual challenge, this book is for you!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first major work to examine Joseph Cornell's relationship to American modernism Joseph Cornell (1903–1972) is best known for his exquisite and alluring box constructions, in which he transformed found objects—such as celestial charts, glass ice cubes, and feathers—into enchanted worlds that blur the boundaries between fantasy and the commonplace. Situating Cornell within the broader artistic, cultural, and political debates of midcentury America, this innovative and interdisciplinary account reveals enchantment's relevance to the history of American modernism. In this beautifully illustrated book, Marci Kwon explores Cornell's attempts to convey enchantment—an ephemeral experience that exceeds rational explanation—in material form. Examining his box constructions, graphic design projects, and cinematic experiments, she shows how he turned to formal strategies drawn from movements like Transcendentalism and Romanticism to figure the immaterial. Kwon provides new perspectives on Cornell's artistic and graphic design career, bringing vividly to life a wide circle of acquaintances that included artists, poets, writers, and filmmakers such as Mina Loy, Lincoln Kirstein, Frank O’Hara, and Stan Brakhage. Cornell's participation in these varied milieus elucidates enchantment's centrality to midcentury conversations about art's potential for power and moral authority, and reveals how enchantment and modernity came to be understood as opposing forces. Leading contemporary artists such as Betye Saar and Carolee Schneemann turned to Cornell's enchantment as a resource for their own anti-racist, feminist projects. Spanning four decades of the artist's career, Enchantments sheds critical light on Cornell's engagement with many key episodes in American modernism, from Abstract Expressionism, 1930s "folk art," and the emergence of New York School poetry and experimental cinema to the transatlantic migration of Symbolism, Surrealism, and ballet.
