Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists first detect signals coming from somewhere out in space in early 1978. Their excitement is palpable. Finally they have proof humanity isn't alone in the cosmos. Then, about a month after their initial detection, the source is pinpointed. Elation immediately gives way to near-panic. The beams are coming from the Earth's moon! In an extraordinary session of the Security Council, the United Nations agree to meet this off-worldly intrusion aggressively. The result, the UNES Liberty, is already in moon orbit when, on the Thirtieth of November 1980, the launching of the Cosmic Express takes place on Centauri Island. At the same time, on the far off planetary Utopia of New Weir, three Great Goddess preside over the latest session of the Courtroom of the Visionary. Meanwhile, on the Inner Earth of Sedon's Head, the Hidden Continent's most revered Death Gods rededicate themselves to reuniting their fragmented family, devils almost to a one. The Dual Entities have returned to their own timeline determined to make life for everyone not just vastly better but perfect. Oh, oh.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a wealth of sources, from Hesiod to Pausanias and from the Orphic Hymns to Proclus, Professor Kerényi provides a clear and scholarly exposition of all the most important Greek myths. After a brief introduction, the complex genealogies of the gods lead him from the begettings of the Titans, from Aphrodite under all her titles and aspects, to the reign of Zeus, to Apollo and Hermes, touching the affairs of Pan, nymphs, satyrs, cosmogonies and the birth of mankind, until he reaches the ineffable mysteries of Dionysos. The lively and highly readable narrative is complemented by an appendix of detailed references to all the original texts and a fine selection of illustrations taken from vase paintings. ‘...learned, admirably documented, exhaustive...’—TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT ‘...it most emphatically must be the book that many have long been waiting for...’—STEPHEN SPENDER ‘Kerényi’s effort to reinterpret mythology...arises out of the conviction that an appreciation of the mythical world will help Western man to regain his lost sense of religious values....(His) theory of myth and his actual interpretations of mythical themes...help to point the way to...a new kind of humanism.’—A. Altman, Philosophy

Book excerpt: In ‘Timewaves,’ set in Madison, WI, acclaimed author Jonathan David crafts an extraordinary tapestry of tales that span the breadth of Earth’s history and beyond. This mesmerizing collection transcends genres, seamlessly intertwining elements of science fiction, historical drama, fantasy, and dystopian futures, all connected by a groundbreaking experiment that unravels the very fabric of time itself. Dr. Quasar, a brilliant yet alcoholic physicist, has dedicated his life to exploring the mysteries of time. His revolutionary experiment, designed to manipulate and observe timewaves, sets off a chain reaction that reverberates through the epochs, offering glimpses into pivotal moments of the past and the unfolding possibilities of the future. From the fiery dawn of Earth 4.5 billion years ago to the twilight of human civilization, ‘Timewaves’ takes readers on an unparalleled journey. Witness the birth of the first cells, the rise and fall of ancient cultures, the marvels and perils of future societies, and the intimate, personal stories of individuals caught in the tides of time. Each section of ‘Timewaves’ is a self-contained story, yet they are all intricately connected by the invisible threads of Dr. Quasar’s experiment. Readers will encounter a diverse array of characters—a prehistoric shaman, a medieval alchemist, a space-faring explorer, and many more—each experiencing moments that define their worlds and, collectively, the human experience.

Download or read book Bounded Rationality the Encounter written by Kenneth Moore and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The saga continues, as human irrationality unfolds after discovering the presence of an unidentified starship orbiting Earth, with man's fate descending into uncharted and dangerous territory. The alien Gorgass civilization monitors mankind closely, providing demands submitted to Earth via the return of select human hostages, but struggles to communicate efficiently –with Earth's response to any overtures, being aggressively negative. The remaining hostages, trapped within their extraneous cells, are at their wits' end. An attempt to reason with the indifferent extraterrestrials is made – not only on sparing their own lives– but in sparing mankind altogether. As the prisoners attempt to devise a way of relaying their requests, does the incompatibility of mindsets between life forms become clear? Hence the battle between the Rational v Irrational, Methodical v Spontaneous, and Emotionless v Expressiveness begin, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Does the threat truly come from extraterrestrial activity, or instead inadvertently from within humans' own inability to listen rationally? The author maintains the realistic technical aspects and dynamics woven throughout the fabric of this book, superbly constructing a plausible yet compelling science fiction story.

Download or read book When Aseneth Met Joseph written by Ross Shepard Kraemer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the study of an anonymous ancient work, usually called Joseph and Aseneth, which narrates the transformation of the daughter of an Egyptian priest into an acceptable spouse for the biblical Joseph, whose marriage to Aseneth is given brief notice in Genesis. Kraemer takes issue with the scholarly consensus that the tale is a Jewish conversion story composed no later than the early second century C.E. Instead, she dates it to the third or fourth century C.E., and argues that, although no definitive answer is presently possible, it may well be a Christian account. This critique also raises larger issues about the dating and identification of many similar writings, known as pseudepigrapha. Kraemer reads its account of Aseneth's interactions with an angelic double of Joseph in the context of ancient accounts of encounters with powerful divine beings, including the sun god Helios, and of Neoplatonic ideas about the fate of souls. When Aseneth Met Joseph demonstrates the centrality of ideas about gender in the representation of Aseneth and, by extension, offers implications for broader concerns about gender in Late Antiquity.

Download or read book Space Exploration on Film written by Paul Meehan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of several decades, scientific fact has overtaken science fiction as humankind's understanding of the universe has expanded. Mirroring this development, the cinematic depictions of space exploration over the last century have evolved from whimsical sci-fi fantasies to more fact-based portrayals. This book chronologically examines 75 films that depict voyages into outer space and offers the historical, cultural, and scientific context of each. These films range from Georges Melies' fantastical A Trip to the Moon to speculative science fiction works such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Solaris, and Contact, and fact-based accounts of actual space missions as depicted in The Right Stuff, Apollo 13, Salyut 7 and First Man. Each film is analyzed not only in terms of its direction, screenplay, and other cinematic aspects but also its scientific and historical accuracy. The works of acclaimed directors, including Fritz Lang, George Pal, Stanley Kubrick, Andrei Tarkovsky, Robert Wise, Ron Howard, Robert Zemeckis, Ridley Scott, and Christopher Nolan, are accorded special attention for their memorable contributions to this vital and evolving subgenre of science fiction film.

Book excerpt: This unique collection of essays, published together for the first time, not only elucidates the complexity of ancient Greek thought, but also reveals Karl Popper's engagement with Presocratic philosophy and the enlightenment he experienced in his reading of Parmenides. As Karl Popper himself states himself in his introduction, he was inspired to write about Presocratic philosophy for two reasons - firstly to illustrate the thesis that all history is the history of problem situations and secondly, to show the greatness of the early Greek philosophers, who gave Europe its philosophy, its science and its humanism.

Download or read book Epiphanies and Dreams in Greek Polytheism written by Michael Lipka and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While modern students of Greek religion are alert to the occasion-boundedness of epiphanies and divinatory dreams in Greek polytheism, they are curiously indifferent to the generic parameters of the relevant textual representations on which they build their argument. Instead, generic questions are normally left to the literary critic, who in turn is less interested in religion. To evaluate the relation of epiphanies and divinatory dreams to Greek polytheism, the book investigates relevant representations through all major textual genres in pagan antiquity. The evidence of the investigated genres suggests that the ‘epiphany-mindedness’ of the Greeks, postulated by most modern critics, is largely an academic chimaera, a late-comer of Christianizing 19th-century-scholarship. It is primarily founded on a misinterpretation of Homer’s notorious anthropomorphism (in the Iliad and Odyssey but also in the Homeric Hymns). This anthropomorphism, which is keenly absorbed by Greek drama and figural art, has very little to do with the religious lifeworld experience of the ancient Greeks, as it appears in other genres. By contrast, throughout all textual genres investigated here, divinatory dreams are represented as an ordinary and real part of the ancient Greeks' lifeworld experience.
