Book Synopsis The Shape of Things To Come by : H. G. Wells
Download or read book The Shape of Things To Come written by H. G. Wells and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shape of Things to Come is a work of science fiction, which speculates on future events from 1933 until the year 2106. In the book, a world state is established as the solution to humanity's problems. As a frame story, Wells claims that the book is his edited version of notes written by an eminent diplomat, Dr Philip Raven, who had been having dream visions of a history textbook published in 2106 and wrote down what he could remember of it. Herbert George Wells (1866-1946), known as H. G. Wells, was a prolific English writer in many genres, including the novel, history, politics, and social commentary, and textbooks and rules for war games.
Book Synopsis Shape of Things to Come by : Saatchi Gallery
Download or read book Shape of Things to Come written by Saatchi Gallery and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2009-09-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in conjunction with the opening of the new Saatchi Gallery in London, one of today’s most important institutions collecting and exhibiting contemporary art, this mammoth book is the most comprehensive volume on contemporary sculpture. The title itself refers to H. G. Wells’s eponymous novel which envisioned the future and was a surprisingly accurate prophecy reflecting the author’s own time. That book inspired Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which a great monolith is an iconic but enigmatic sculptural presence. This new book opens with an enormous, standing monolithic Styrofoam sculpture of a videocassette of 2001 and, like the Wells book, seeks to explore how sculpture will evolve in the coming decades.

Book Synopsis The Shape of Things to Come by : Jane Anderson
Download or read book The Shape of Things to Come written by Jane Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beware - this book will blow your mind! Do you believe we can predict the future - through dreams, visions, synchronicity? I didn't ... until I read the mind-altering The Shape of Things to Come. 'Everything we need to know is right in front of us if we take the time to look. We can sit back and accept the future before us, or we can turn the tide and change the odds. The choice is up to us. Until now, we have not known how to make that choice.' Jane Anderson This is the extraordinary story of a scientist's quest to understand her ability to see future events in her dreams. Drawing on current breakthroughs in quantum physics, this exploration of precognition is guaranteed to change your perceptions of reality and persuade you most convincingly that not only is it possible to predict the future, but it's possible to change it too. Jane Anderson's research is based on finding a scientific explanation for precognition - the knowledge of future events. To do this she takes the reader on a truly magical mystery tour through telepathy, clairvoyancy, hypnosis (in which she is hypnotised to progress rather than regress; that is, to predict a future event - which, believe it or not, she does extremely accurately), synchronicity and, though it may seem a strange bedfellow, quantum physics. Jane Anderson has been researching dreams for several years so she's no stranger to dreams that accurately predict the future - and there are many staggering examples in the book. You will meet some of the fifty precognitive dreamers and visionaries she interviewed along the way. Four esteemed professional clairvoyants tell of their own experiences, hopes, fears and philosophies while Jane acts the detective and weighs up the body of evidence. On the journey all sorts of big questions are asked about predetermination, free will, the nature of god ... so be prepared to stretch your mind. Emerging with a new understanding of precognition, the only question remaining is whether our ability to experience the future and then live through it again is merely a fantastic mechanism explicable by science and theory, or whether there is a deeper spiritual meaning behind it all. Jane's quest travels the realms of spiritual meanings and purpose while also presenting you with down to earth practical steps and scientific models, based on her own research, to help you gain insight into the shape of things to come in your own life. An example of precognition from The Shape of Things to Come Anna's second marriage had broken up and she had returned home to her mother's house. Her husband would not move out of their home and she couldn't get access to collect sentimental gifts or retrieve their orange Siamese cat wich had been a present from her first husband. Her dream therefore occurred at a time of great stress. 'I dreamed I was walking around the house, which had been stripped bare of all its furniture. My husband had left, taking everything but my orange cat which I found in the wardrobe with its head off. As I walked around the house I heard a voice say "It's okay, you can come back now." ' The next day she returned to her house and it was indeed empty. She found the decapitated cat in the wardrobe.

Book Synopsis William Cameron Menzies by : James Curtis
Download or read book William Cameron Menzies written by James Curtis and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2015 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was the consummate designer of film architecture on a grand scale. He was known for his visual flair and timeless innovation, a man who meticulously preplanned the color and design of each film through a series of continuity sketches that made clear camera angles, lighting, and the actors' positions for each scene, translating dramatic conventions of the stage to the new capabilities of film. Here is the long-awaited book on William Cameron Menzies, Hollywood's first and greatest production designer, a job title David O. Selznick invented for Menzies' extraordinary, all-encompassing, Academy Award-winning work on Gone With the Wind (which he effectively co-directed). It was Menzies--winner of the first-ever Academy Award for Art Direction, and who was as well a director (fourteen pictures) and a producer (twelve pictures)--who changed the way movies were (and still are) made, in a career that spanned four decades, from the 1920s through the 1950s. Now, James Curtis, acclaimed film historian and biographer, writes of Menzies' life and work as the most influential designer in the history of film. Interviewing colleagues, actors, directors, friends, and family, and with full access to the Menzies family collection of artwork and unpublished writing, Curtis gives us the path-finding work of the movies' most daring and dynamic production designer: his evolution as artist, art director, production designer, and director. Here is a portrait of a man in his time that makes clear how the movies were forever transformed by his startling, visionary work.--Adapted from book jacket.

Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Book Synopsis The Shape of Things to Come by : Markandey Katju
Download or read book The Shape of Things to Come written by Markandey Katju and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is in the throes of transition--from a primarily feudal agrarian society to a modern, industrial one. For the transition to be successful, however, Markandey Katju says that the country needs to rid itself of the ills of the feudal days. But perturbed by the growing incidents of communalism, racial and lingual strife, corruption and persisting issues of poverty, casteism and unemployment, he is sceptical of the change arriving anytime soon. He argues that this turbulent transition might last for another twenty-odd years. In this timely collection of his views, Katju suggests that influential politicians and their governance are not enough, but a scientific mission for national reconstruction is the need of the hour to bring India into its own as a developed and egalitarian society.In his trademark no-holds-barred approach, the author holds up a mirror to the citizens of India and where they could be headed--so that from the dark times emerges a shining vision of the nation its people deserve. His forthright and unreserved views in The Shape of Things to Come give an important perspective to judge India's future.
