I don’t recall if I saw my first gunman in my childhood nightmares or on my childhood streets. There were plenty in both and they looked very much like each other. So begins Reggie Chamberlain-King’s introduction to The Black Dreams, a thrilling and compelling collection of specially commissioned stories that explore the emotional geography of growing up and living in Northern Ireland. The fourteen stories gathered here criss-cross coast, border and city as they map a ‘strange’ territory of in-between states and unstable realities in which understanding is unreliable. Obsessions, death and rebirth, violence, sexuality, retribution and apocalypse are all part of the rich fabric of The Black Dreams. Bringing together some of Northern Ireland’s finest writers, along with some of the best new talents, The Black Dreams celebrates and extends the rich tradition of the weird, surreal and dream-like in Northern Irish writing. It is also a powerful act of imagining and storytelling – a vibrant, vivid and exhilarating exploration of a world we cannot, or choose not, to see.

40 years have passed since the release of PIECE OF MIND. More than an album, it was a thunderous statement of intent by a band whose meteoric rise from the East End of London would propel them to the world stage, thrusting them into the realms of legend. This commemorative tome, containing comics, art, and remembrances from acclaimed writers, artists, musicians and storytellers, is a powerful celebration of the unparalleled vision which inspired them -- the living legend that is IRON MAIDEN.

"In the beginning, we were just boys. Boys that grew to be hardened men, violent men, men without fear and only one desire: to rise above the foul stench of the Brooklyn Streets that had taken away our souls."Seven streetwise boys form a bond so strong that only death would separate them. Uncle Tony, a hard-hitting gangster with CIA and Black Ops training, introduces them into the big league of the international drug trade that eventually leaves Marco Bolzani running from his ex-business partners, Stockland and Simms, two rogue CIA agents that control the influx of cocaine onto the streets of the US. People are showing up dead and Marco doesn't know why... Until Uncle Tony reveals the deadly truth.This title was originally published as The Last of the Good Guys by John Carbone

This book explores the subject of artificial psychology and how the field must adapt human neuro-psychological testing techniques to provide adequate cognitive testing of advanced artificial intelligence systems. It shows how classical testing methods will reveal nothing about the cognitive nature of the systems and whether they are learning, reasoning, and evolving correctly; for these systems, the authors outline how testing techniques similar to/adapted from human psychological testing must be adopted, particularly in understanding how the system reacts to failure or relearning something it has learned incorrectly or inferred incorrectly. The authors provide insights into future architectures/capabilities that artificial cognitive systems will possess and how we can evaluate how well they are functioning. It discusses at length the notion of human/AI communication and collaboration and explores such topics as knowledge development, knowledge modeling and ambiguity management, artificial cognition and self-evolution of learning, artificial brain components and cognitive architecture, and artificial psychological modeling.Explores the concepts of Artificial Psychology and Artificial Neuroscience as applied to advanced artificially cognitive systems;Provides insight into the world of cognitive architectures and biologically-based computing designs which will mimic human brain functionality in artificial intelligent systems of the future;Provides description and design of artificial psychological modeling to provide insight into how advanced artificial intelligent systems are learning and evolving;Explores artificial reasoning and inference architectures and the types of modeling and testing that will be required to "trust" an autonomous artificial intelligent systems.
Hot Carbon

Hot Carbon

There are few fields of science that carbon-14 has not touched. A radioactive isotope of carbon, it stands out for its unusually long half-life. Best known for its application to estimating the age of artifacts—carbon dating—carbon-14 helped reveal new chronologies of human civilization and geological time. Everything containing carbon, the basis of all life, could be placed in time according to the clock of radioactive decay, with research applications ranging from archeology to oceanography to climatology.In Hot Carbon, John F. Marra tells the untold story of this scientific revolution. He weaves together the workings of the many disciplines that employ carbon-14 with gripping tales of the individuals who pioneered its possibilities. He describes the concrete applications of carbon-14 to the study of all the stuff of life on earth, from climate science’s understanding of change over time to his own work on oceanic photosynthesis with microscopic phytoplankton. Marra’s engaging narrative encompasses nuclear testing, the peopling of the Americas, elephant poaching, and the flax plants used for the linen in the Shroud of Turin. Combining colorful narrative prose with accessible explanations of fundamental science, Hot Carbon is a thought-provoking exploration of how the power of carbon-14 informs our relationship to the past.

The book establishes the science, history and environmental effects of carbon dioxide. SCIENCE What is learned is carbon dioxide comes from animal respiration then it gets into the ocean and through photosynthesis from sun light turns into plant life only to be eaten by zoo plankton and when it dies its skeleton piles up on the shallow sea floor. It is over 3000 ft thick at places like Florida and Grand Canyon and all over the world. 97% of the worlds carbon is locked up in limestone and a little less than 3% in the deep ocean greater than 2000 meters as it is so cold limestone reverts back to liquid CO2. From earth tectonic movements where crusts merge the limestone enters the deep earth and is turned back into CO2 and in addition liquid CO2 bubbles up or forced up from offshore winds a phenomenon called upwelling. This is where 90% of our carbon comes from and only 10% from mankind. ENVIRONMENTAL The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is 380 parts per million while oxygen the inverse gas is 200,000 ppm. Its concentration is just too small to cause Global Warming. Warming is caused by energy reached from the sun. This varies depending upon earth and sun proximity and there are cycles running about every 110,000 years. HISTORY The Greenland Ice core layers go down 400,000 years and analysis of them as shown the past climates and concentration of CO2. Earth has largely been a ball of ice with a warming period lasting about 20,000 years like now then major cooling. POLITICAL FRAUD New trends to finance the electric car claiming it is green is a lie. Electricity comes mostly 40% from the dirtiest fossil fuel which is coal and has 50% more carbon footprint than natural gas. Electricity also comes from natural gas and 27% from nuclear and 6% from wind, solar and hydroelectric. RENEWABLE ENERGY The wind, solar and hydroelectric will never amount to more than 15% at most just too expensive. To run just 1200-watt hair dryer 24 hours a day requires 50 to 120x watt solar one meter square and can cost between $20,000 and $500,000 if you need to buy land in a suburb to accommodate them or to fix them for hurricane conditions. For every home to be able to increase their electrical power use say four times for electric cars will cost every homeowner $40,000 to help pay for the larger power plants and the larger power lines and structures or over 13 trillion dollars. Why go broke making the planet have more carbon in the air. About the AuthorI was a keen scuba diver and spear fisherman. I obtained a degree in Ocean Engineering in 1974 and worked for other companies in Nova Scotia, Louisiana, Texas and Australia as a designer and manager of offshore oil and gas and steam power plant facilities. I started my own businesses in 1994 Lincoln Consulting and OES (Ocean Engineering Systems.) OES through innovation became the world's largest and most prolific subsea pipeline trenching company www.oes.net.au. In 2007, we expanded into alternate energy systems for automobiles and, in 2009, we started designing and building innovative catamaran motor sailing vessels. I am semi-retired my son runs the company from Australia. I enjoy writing books and go diving occasionally and living a secluded good life with my wife in Key Largo.
