Exploring Science Through Science Fiction

Exploring Science Through Science Fiction

Barry B. Luokkala

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2013
nidottu
The material in this book forms the basis of an interdisciplinary, college-level course, which uses science fiction film as a vehicle for exploring science concepts. Unlike traditional introductory-level courses, the science content is arranged according to major themes in science fiction, with a deliberate progression from the highly objective and discipline-specific (e.g. Reference Frames; Physics of Space Travel and Time Travel) to the very multi-disciplinary and thought-provoking (e.g. Human Teleportation; Science and Society). Over 100 references to science fiction films and television episodes are included, spanning more than 100 years of cinematic history. Some of these are conducive to calculations (solutions included).

Exploring and Shaping International Futures

Exploring and Shaping International Futures

"People who run cities like to play Simcity to find out how impossible their jobs are. Hughes gives everyone a chance to play a kind of Simplanet, with outcomes far more complex and uncertain. In the process, the book and the computer program provide a coherent path to understanding an anarchic world." --Ronald A. Francisco, University of Kansas "What will be the future of human demographic, economic, environmental, and political-social systems throughout the 21st century? Where do current changes appear to be taking us? What kind of future would we prefer? How much leverage do we have to bring about the future we prefer? Do YOU share these interests of the book? If yes, you should study the book and learn how to cope with the future with the International Futures approach (IFs) developed by the authors. This large-scale integrated global simulation modeling system is a user-friendly, professional tool for long-term policy analysis and an educational tool in universities. I had a pleasure to learn it personally by cooperating with Barry Hughes." --Pentti Malaska, Professor of MS, DrTech, futurist Honorary member of the Club of Rome What will be the long-term impact of AIDS in Africa or concentration of global oil production in the Middle East? Exploring and Shaping International Futures helps readers understand such global trends in demographic, economic, energy, food, environmental, and socio-political systems. It allows businesspeople, government officials, and others to think concretely about global futures in each of these areas. It is the only book on the market that allows readers to use a computer simulation to track global trends and to develop alternative scenarios around those trends. It is one of relatively few books that really brings computer technology into the classroom, boardroom, or policy planning commission. The International Futures (IFs) computer simulation, around which the book is built, is now widely used in policy analysis as well as education. It has been instrumental in projects undertaken by such groups as the European Commission, the U.S. National Intelligence Council, and the United Nations. After three decades of development and refinement, the computer model is now easy to access and use. Readers can access the website with the IFs computer model at www.ifs.du.edu

Reducing Global Poverty

Reducing Global Poverty

Barry B. Hughes; Mohammod T. Irfan; Haider Khan; Krishna B. Kumar; Dale S. Rothman; Jose Roberto Solorzano

Paradigm
2008
sidottu
This is the first volume in an ambitious new series-"Patterns of Potential Human Progress"-inspired by the UN Millennium Development Goals (MGDs) and other initiatives to improve the global condition. The first and most fundamental of these goals-reducing poverty worldwide-is the focus of this book. Using the large-scale computer program called International Futures (IFs) developed over three decades at the prestigious University of Denver Graduate School of International Studies, this book explores the most extensive set of forecasts of global poverty ever made-providing a wide range of scenarios based on an authoritative array of data. It transcends the "$1 a day" baseline measure of poverty and probes important concepts like income poverty gaps and relative poverty. The forecasts are long-term, looking 50 years into the future, far beyond the 2015 date set out by the MDGs. They are geographically rich, spanning the entire globe and drilling down to the country level, including one of the most important global focal points, India. The poverty forecasts in this book, and all the volumes in the series, are fully integrated in perspective across a wide range of human development arenas including demographics, economics, politics, agriculture, energy, and the environment. Full of colorful, thoughtfully designed graphs, tables, maps, and other visual presentations of data and forecasts, this large-format inaugural volume ensures that the "Patterns of Potential Human Progress" series will become an indispensable resource for every development professional, student, professor, library, and indeed, country around the world.

2010
sidottu
Improving Global Health is the third in a series of volumes-Patterns of Potential Human Progress-that uses the International Futures (IFs) simulation model to explore prospects for human development: how development appears to be unfolding globally and locally, how we would like it to evolve, and how better to assure that we move it in desired directions. Earlier volumes addressed the reduction of global poverty and the advance of global education. Volume 3 sets out to tell a story of possible futures for the health of peoples across the world. Questions the volume addresses include: -What health outcomes might we expect given current patterns of human development? -What opportunities exist for intervention and the achievement of alternate health futures? -How might improved health futures affect broader economic, social, and political prospects of countries, regions, and the world?

Strengthening Governance Globally

Strengthening Governance Globally

sidottu
Strengthening Governance Globally is the fifth volume in the series 'Patterns of Potential Human Progress'. Each volume considers one key aspect of how development unfolds globally and how better to move it in desired directions. This volume identifies the provision of security, the building of government capacity, and the broadening of inclusion of governance on which high-income countries have traditionally made long historical transitions. In contrast, many developing countries today struggle with all three governance transition dimensions simultaneously. Strengthening Governance Globally uses the growing empirical database on governance variables to understand historical change.

Wisdom of the Earth Speaks: The Truth About Medicinal Aromatherapy

Wisdom of the Earth Speaks: The Truth About Medicinal Aromatherapy

Barry B. Kapp

AUTHORS PRESS
2018
nidottu
Barry B. Kapp has written a philosophical overview of the importance of the Tree and Plant Kingdom in our lives and how to use Medicinal Aromatherapy for addressing all conditions within us spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Barry feels and knows that the Tree and Plants operate on a paradigm of Divine Love at all times. He feels that Medicinal Aromatherapy wrestles constantly between the Divine Love and Fear paradigms. He states that Medicinal Aromatherapy ran parallel down through history with Herbalogy. Herbalogy seemingly was always in view for all to see, but True Medicinal Aromatherapy was in the background found in Mystery School Teachings. He firmly knows that the Essences of Trees and Plants are the original medicine of the Mother and is the most powerful medicine when pure.This Book addresses 12 major points on "Truths" that lie on every level of Human Existence in relationship to Earth Mother via the Tree and Plant Kingdom. There are two additional sections. One on "Frequently Asked Questions", that have been asked of him over the years. The other section contains over 30 "Medicinal Angel Essences", descriptions and Tree and Plant channelings.This Book is unlike any Aromatherapy Book you will read as it contains some hard truths about our relationship to ourselves and the natural world in which we live. This book has the ability to make you cry, get angry, laugh, and experience joy. For those looking for the deeper answers about our relationship with Mother Earth via Medicinal Aromatherapy, this book will not only blow you away, it will blow truth into your heart of hearts.

The students of Black Academy named themselves and their athletic teams "Black Mambas" after a snake that was not black, but was quite deadly. An apt name in a school where nothing was what it appeared. It was a school of savants designed to produce a corps of assassins to fill the ranks of Misty, a secret and quite illegal branch of the C.I.A. Randall J. Black Academy was as enlightening as it was dark, an institution filled with love and vengeance, brilliance and death. This school, tucked away in the Maine Enchanteds, was where Jerome Track began changing the world. Black is the second book of his autobiography.
