Download or read book Lone Star Mind written by Ty Cashion and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is the story the Lone Star State likes to tell about itself—and then there is the reality, a Texas past that bears little resemblance to the manly Anglo myth of Texas exceptionalism that maintains a firm grip on the state’s historical imagination. Lone Star Mind takes aim at this traditional narrative, holding both academic and lay historians accountable for the ways in which they craft the state’s story. A clear-sighted, far-reaching work of intellectual history, this book marshals a wide array of pertinent scholarship, analysis, and original ideas to point the way toward a new “usable past” that twenty-first-century Texans will find relevant. Ty Cashion fixes T. R. Fehrenbach’s Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans in his crosshairs in particular, laying bare the conceptual deficiencies of the romantic and mythic narrative the book has served to codify since its first publication in 1968. At the same time, Cashion explores the reasons why the collective efforts of university-trained scholars have failed to diminish the appeal of the state’s iconic popular culture, despite the fuller and more accurate record these historians have produced. Framing the search for a collective Texan identity in the context of a post-Christian age and the end of Anglo-male hegemony, Lone Star Mind illuminates the many historiographical issues besetting the study of American history that will resonate with scholars in other fields as well. Cashion proposes that a cultural history approach focusing on the self-interests of all Texans is capable of telling a more complete story—a story that captures present-day realities.

Download or read book Greyland written by Dave Van Arnam and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was an alien world of infinite peace...or was it? He awoke as from some misty, prolonged, vaguely disturbing dream, yet somehow he knew that what had happened and what was happening had a strange reality. It was not the kind of reality his disciplined mind would have accepted in the past, though his consciousness rejected the concept of present and past. This reality seemed to exist outside thought and apart from emotion. There was the lingering physical sensation of having traveled infinite distances through unimaginable dimensions. There was, too, the sense of unthreatening mystery, of soft, overpowering greyness. This total greyness meant limitless peace, he seemed to know. He knew his name. He spoke it aloud. The beautiful girl bending over him repeated it. Her skin was grey...

Book Synopsis Ansible: Season Two by : Stant Litore

Book excerpt: Traveling across space and time to make first contact, explorers discover a terrible predator. Now only a band of time travelers stand between humanity and the long dark. The previous Ansibles found themselves marooned, but Zahid, last survivor of "Ansible 15718," commands an interstellar fleet, and Sahira, the psionic savant we meet in "Ansible: Night Land" and "Ansible: Strike Force," will take the battle to the pneumavores, humanity's fiercest predators. In Season Two of Ansible, humanity's last conflict continues to blossom open, dark fire and dark flower, torching all of time and space. These are your descendants' stories. Their cries in the dark. PRAISE FOR ANSIBLE: "Litore's stories aren't only entertaining. They are stories invading our lives, unexpectedly. You encounter them, as you might encounter people. They are those random elements in life that happen to you, like a mugging, like childbirth, like falling in love and marriage, like death and the funeral that follows. They are moments that leave a mark, and leave you changed." - Andrew Hallam, Ph.D., Metropolitan State University of Denver "Stant eloquently writes passages that are so moving, full of passion, fury, loneliness, blind drive ... He takes us to places of amazing beauty, awe-inspiring, as well as places where the implications in the story can leave you almost in despair for the human race." - Nikki Ebright, Director, Myths & Legends Con

Book Synopsis Designing Intelligence by : Rolf Pfeifer
Download or read book Designing Intelligence written by Rolf Pfeifer and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthology from the year 2011 in the subject Sociology - Knowledge and Information, language: English, abstract: This is a book about embodiment -- the idea that intelligence requires a body -- and how having a body shapes the way we think. The idea that the body is required for intelligence has been around since nearly three decades ago, but an awful lot has changed since then. Research labs and leading technology companies around the world have produced a host of sometimes science fiction-like creations: unbelievably realistic humanoids, robot musicians, wearable technology, robots controlled by biological brains, robots that can walk without a brain, real-life cyborgs, robots in homes for the elderly, robots that literally put themselves together, and artificial cells grown automatically. This new breed of technology is the direct result of the embodied approach to intelligence. Along the way, many of the initially vague ideas have been elaborated and the arguments sharpened, and are beginning to form into a coherent structure. This popular science book, aimed at a broad audience, provides a clear and up to date overview of the progress being made. At the heart of the book are a set of abstract design principles that can be applied in designing intelligent systems of any kind: in short, a theory of intelligence. But science and technology are no longer isolated fields: they closely interact with the corporate, political, and social aspects of our society -- so this book not only provides a novel perspective on artificial intelligence, but also aims to change how we view ourselves and the world around us.

Book Synopsis How Many Mutations Are Required to Produce a Human Cancer Cell? by : Pascal Kaufmann
Download or read book How Many Mutations Are Required to Produce a Human Cancer Cell? written by Pascal Kaufmann and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Biology - General, Basics, University of Cambridge, language: English, abstract: The widespread occurance of cancer and its apparent lack of a cause has led to a plethora of myths spanning from a "cancer personality" in the 1970's to mobile phones today. The dissertation introduces some of the theoretical principles of cancer which lifts the veil on the mysteries surrounding its causes. The central issue addressed is whether genetic instability above the background level is necessary to account for the levels of cancer seen. In doing so, it touches on the idea that we are all born with mutations - from the very first division at the embryonic stage we begin acquiring them. This occurs even in a perfect environment without mutagens or any environmental stressors. The common conception, of the cells working together for a common goal is reversed. The body can be viewed as a vast community of selfish cells which are constantly competing for resources in a process analogous to Darwinian natural selection. Evolution at the organism level has resulted in a comprehensive disciplinary system to keep the masses in check. Any individual which hints at crossing out of line is sentenced to the biochemical equivalent of imprisonment or the death sentence. However despite the organism's iron tight grip on the individual cell, it is clear that we all carry the prerequisites of cancer around with us. We will all be diagnosed with "cancer" at some point, the reason it only kills a third is that most die of something else first. Even if we live a perfect life without any disease - there is always the self which is imperfect. This dissertation explains in detail how we are gaining a deeper understanding which offers the hope that in the near future we will no longer need to live in fear of the unknown.

Book Synopsis Science Fiction Magazine Story Index, 1926-1995 by : Terry A. Murray
Download or read book Science Fiction Magazine Story Index, 1926-1995 written by Terry A. Murray and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the appearance of the first science fiction magazine in 1926, thousands of short stories have been published in periodicals devoted to the genre. These stories cover a wide range of subjects, from spacecraft to the human condition, and feature little-known authors as well as masters like Ellison and Asimov. In the past, finding which issue of what magazine ran a certain story was nearly impossible. This much-needed reference tool provides valuable assistance in the daunting task of locating short stories published in science fiction magazines, providing exhaustive indexes to magazines, authors, and titles, allowing a variety of options for research on 34,000 stories appearing in nearly 5,000 issues of 133 genre magazines. Stories from all major American publications, as well as from several minor periodicals, are indexed. Also included is an appendix of the best known and most prolific contributors, giving the titles of all their stories in this work (necessary because the huge author index does not show titles). A guide to how to use this book clarifies its features for the researcher.
