Book excerpt: A 2021 NCTE Charlotte Huck Award Honor Book A Bank Street Best Book of 2021 Quintessence is an extraordinary story from Jess Redman about friendship, self-discovery, interconnectedness, and the inexplicable elements that make you you. Three months ago, twelve-year-old Alma moved to the town of Four Points. Her panic attacks started a week later, and they haven’t stopped—even though she’s told her parents that they have. She’s homesick and friendless and every day she feels less and less like herself. But one day she finds a telescope in the town’s junk shop, and through its lens, she watches a star—a star that looks like a child—fall from the sky and into her backyard. Alma knows what it’s like to be lost and afraid, to long for home, and she knows that it’s up to her to save the star. And so, with the help of some unlikely new friends from Astronomy Club, she sets out on a quest that will take a little bit of science, a little bit of magic, and her whole self. This title has Common Core connections.

Book Synopsis Quintessence by : Willard Van Orman Quine
Download or read book Quintessence written by Willard Van Orman Quine and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the first half of the twentieth century, analytic philosophy was dominated by Russell, Wittgenstein, and Carnap. Influenced by Russell and especially by Carnap, another towering figure, Willard Van Orman Quine (1908Ð2000) emerged as the most important proponent of analytic philosophy during the second half of the century. Yet with twenty-three books and countless articles to his creditÑincluding, most famously, Word and Object and "Two Dogmas of Empiricism"ÑQuine remained a philosopher's philosopher, largely unknown to the general public. Quintessence for the first time collects Quine's classic essays (such as "Two Dogmas" and "On What There Is") in one volumeÑand thus offers readers a much-needed introduction to his general philosophy. Divided into six parts, the thirty-five selections take up analyticity and reductionism; the indeterminacy of translation of theoretical sentences and the inscrutability of reference; ontology; naturalized epistemology; philosophy of mind; and extensionalism. Representative of Quine at his best, these readings are fundamental not only to an appreciation of the philosopher and his work, but also to an understanding of the philosophical tradition that he so materially advanced.

Book Synopsis Quintessence by : Lawrence M. Krauss
Download or read book Quintessence written by Lawrence M. Krauss and published by Arrow. This book was released on 2001 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will the universe continue to expand forever, reverse its expansion and begin to contract, or reach a delicately poised state where it simply persists forever? The answer depends on the amount and properties of matter in the universe, and that has given rise to one of the great paradoxes of modern cosmology; there is too little visible matter to account for the behaviour we can see. Over 90 percent of the universe consists of 'missing mass' or 'dark matter' - what Lawrence Krauss, in his classic book, termed "the fifth essence". In this new edition of The Fifth Essence, retitled Quintessence after the now widely accepted term for dark matter, Krauss shows how the dark matter problem is now connected with two of the hottest areas in recent cosmology: the fate of the universe and the "cosmological constant." With a new introduction, epilogue and chapter updates, Krauss updates his classic and shares one of the most stunning discoveries of recent years: an antigravity force that explains recent observations of a permanently expanding universe.

Download or read book Welcome to the Fifth Dimension written by Bianca Gaia and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on her popular workshops in Canada and Europe, Welcome to the Fifth Dimension is author Diane LeBlanc’s guide to helping readers recognize and integrate their multiple dimensions. Through examples, exercises, and channeled teachings, she shows us how to regain our co-creative power and live each day and moment in a state of grace. The key, says LeBlanc, is Quintessence, a self-coaching program that revitalizes the five most important dimensions of human existence in order to feel better, recover from disease, and be fully happy. The book breaks Quintessence into groups of five: the five energy fields that surround the body, the individual’s five main ÒSoul families,Ó the five dimensions of the human brain, and others. The book assesses and draws on many contemporary schools of thought, as seen in books like The Law of Attraction, The Power of Now, and The Celestine Prophecy. It also provides original teachings channeled from the powerful entity LeBlanc describes as the "Mother Earth Consciousness," personified as Bianca Gaia who is LeBlanc’s alter ego. Packed with charts, diagrams, and illustrations, this compelling book encourages readers to radically enhance their health and happiness by opening their minds to this new way of thinking.

Book excerpt: While VERA ANDERSON, works for RDC (Research and Development Company) she also works on her PHD. With her associate, FRANK SABATINO, they work on a program to expand the WWN (World Wide Net) to tremendously increase WWN capacity. While Vera tests the program near a lake, something goes horribly wrong. She taps the enter key on her laptop and while she waits for the program to execute, her laptop becomes transparent and she disappears from the face of this earth. What happens to her? Slowly Vera recuperates. She looks around and she finds herself in strange surroundings. It is a hostile environment, smelling of ozone, it is damp and cold and she could not visit the toilet. Electronic charges are whizzing by her in various directions, terminating at a grid and then continue on a path into the unknown. Before she has an opportunity to figure out where she is, an electronic replica of her forms and it is void of all clothing. She tries to reach her double, but she couldnt because she floats in an anti-gravity like environment. She calls her double ELECTRA. Electra can speak and she helps Vera to orient herself. Vera asks where she is and to her bewilderment, Electra tells her that she is in Cyberspace. She needs help and Electra helps her to communicate with the real world, using her laptop. Because Vera and Frank work together on the program, they bring Frank into cyberspace with the same program and then they go to work on the grid. Electra decodes C-mail messages that terminate on the grid, before the grid boosts them to the recipient. This is where Vera and Frank find out that Dr. JENNIFER BARLOW, an employee of RDC commits espionage, sending company secret information to JIM WELLER, from NASA. Jim, in turn, sends this information to YURI GASMAN at the Kremlin in Moscow. Not only that, but Jennifers father, who works for NASA is also committing espionage, sending UFO information to the same source, by way of a drop-off point in an old barn. ABOT, an alien replica, also residing in cyberspace rewrites Veras program, allowing Vera and Frank to return to the real world. Based on an unfortunate accident, they now have a new tool to solve cyber crimes. When Dr. ART DISBROW, CEO of RDC finds out that he has espionage activity in his midst, he was furious. He ordered RAY DOWNEY, his security officer to fix this mess. Ray and the NASA security chief, SKIP FERRELL, work up plans to eliminate the villains. One week later, they eliminate the scoundrels and no one knows who did it. The exception is IGOR BARLOW, Jennifers father. He went to jail.
Book Synopsis The Self and the Quintessence by : Christine Driver
Download or read book The Self and the Quintessence written by Christine Driver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Self and the Quintessence explores Jung’s work on number symbolism and the alchemical journey and considers how they act as metaphors underpinning theories about the development of the self and individuation. It goes on to consider the implications of these dynamics in terms of the symbol of the quintessence and what this represents psychologically. Initially exploring number symbolism and the way numbers can express dimensionality and emergence, this book explores the theories which underpin Jung’s ideas about the self and its complexity, including the dynamics of opposites, the transcendent function, and the symbol of the quaternity (fourness). The book then explores the symbol of the quintessence from a theoretical and clinical perspective and also in relation to its use in alchemy and physics. It goes on to consider the symbolic and psychological significance of the quintessence in relation to complexity, emergence, individuation, wholeness, truth and the spirit of matter. Extending Jungian ideas to explore the archetypal symbol of the quintessence and its psychological significance, The Self and the Quintessence will be of great interest to Jungian academics, researchers and clinicians, and anyone looking to expand their knowledge and understanding of Jungian psychology.
