A Matter Of Life - When Gender Doesn't Work
Eva said she was a woman. Psychiatry said she was a disturbed male instead! Eva wanted her body fixed. The system wanted her mind changed! Transsexuality: A physical disability or a mental illness? Who knows? Who is right? Follow Eva through a maze of ignorance and absurdity on a journey few people will ever venture on and experience what it means to be treated a transsexual by a society and a medical system whose views of transsexuality are about as far from reality as it gets! Then decide for yourself!
Manufacturing Insanity - Vol. 1 - Creating Truth / When Darkness Falls
The treatment of transsexuals turns medicine into a system of well organised prejudice, cruelty and mistreatment. Patients are abused while the perpetrators are convinced that this is necessary, good treatment! In volume I of Manufacturing Insanity Eva examines how it is possible that patients suffer and die while doctors watch in complete denial. Maybe this denial of patient's needs and rights, all the abuse and death is created by an inherent systemic inability of medicine to acknowledge just these needs? But doctors letting their patients suffer and die because they are incapable to accept their own shortcomings? That's insane! Well, maybe not! Because on her way through the jungle of medical history, politics, practice, self-understanding and the patient experience Eva finds that in the end this is all about sex, power and cultist beliefs! The one piece in the puzzle that is completely irrelevant is the emotional integrity of the individual patient! Welcome to Manufacturing Insanity!
Manufacturing Insanity - Vol. 2 - Dangerous Knowledge / The Next Religious War
The treatment of transsexuals turns medicine into a system of well organized prejudice, cruelty and mistreatment. Patients are abused while the perpetrators are convinced that this is necessary, good treatment! In volume II of Manufacturing Insanity Eva contrasts generally accepted views of transsexuality with her own and interprets both views on the background of current medical practice. Eva then proposes a new model for gender and transsexuality and examines why any better or reasonable approach must be unacceptable to current medical practice. In the last part Eva proposes a better system for the delivery of medical services, one that does not leave anybody behind, one that does not accept the death of a patient just because that patient doesn't fit the expectations of the system! Welcome to Manufacturing Insanity!
Stable and Random Motions in Dynamical Systems

Stable and Random Motions in Dynamical Systems

For centuries, astronomers have been interested in the motions of the planets and in methods to calculate their orbits. Since Newton, mathematicians have been fascinated by the related N-body problem. They seek to find solutions to the equations of motion for N masspoints interacting with an inverse-square-law force and to determine whether there are quasi-periodic orbits or not. Attempts to answer such questions have led to the techniques of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory. In this book, a classic work of modern applied mathematics, Jurgen Moser presents a succinct account of two pillars of the theory: stable and chaotic behavior. He discusses cases in which N-body motions are stable, covering topics such as Hamiltonian systems, the (Moser) twist theorem, and aspects of Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory. He then explores chaotic orbits, exemplified in a restricted three-body problem, and describes the existence and importance of homoclinic points. This book is indispensable for mathematicians, physicists, and astronomers interested in the dynamics of few- and many-body systems and in fundamental ideas and methods for their analysis. After thirty years, Moser's lectures are still one of the best entrees to the fascinating worlds of order and chaos in dynamics.

Kirkus Reviews: "This is a stellar read for teens and adults, full of hilarious growing pains, tenderness, and a few surprises. Moser delivers an irresistible narrator in Mo Kirkland. Every page ripples with a controlled cleverness."Mo Kirkland is the average teenager who, like most boys his age, struggles with self-confidence issues. He lives in Boulder Creek, Washington, a small, isolated mountain town that's famous for Bigfoot, a beast that Native American tribes refer to as Skookum. While Mo tries to navigate high school, he discovers that he has bigger problems, like crushing hard for a strange girl named Prophecy, who lives within a commune, cult-like group. When she suddenly vanishes, Mo learns that realistic monsters don't always hide in the woods. Sometimes they turn up much closer to home, and he must face these demons in order to save the girl of his dreams.This romantic fiction thriller has it all, with a plot that's filled with drama, mystery, fantasy, suspense, love, adventure, and a surprising paranormal twist. This coming of age story is good for teens and young adults as it depicts a supernatural romance that's not steamy, with no inappropriate language. It's a contemporary novel that's a bit dark and edgy, as the small town in the book is about to become overrun by law breaking drug dealers. A criminal courtroom trial, bullying, and death make this a best modern read for today's time. It's available in paperback and kindle formats. Great for men and women, and also appropriate for mature preteen boys and girls. It's an interesting and easy read with likeable and engaging characters. It makes an excellent choice for book clubs and for inclusion in high school and college libraries.Grab a copy today and enjoy the chase to the book's beautiful ending

This monograph represents the first comprehensive study of the multifaceted representations of the complex phenomenon of globalization in the diverse repertoire of the 2008 Nobel Laureate in Literature. This interdisciplinary investigation explores the initial euphoria related to the ambivalent concept of the ‘global village’ and how this evaporated dream can perhaps be reappropriated to create a better global society for both the human and Cosmic Other through the lens of Le Clézio’s fiction. Chapter one offers a conceptual framework for understanding the Franco-Mauritian author’s nuanced ideas concerning globalization. It also probes the original ambivalence of McLuhan’s celebrated notion of a global village in addition to its euphoric reception. Chapter two explores the current state of the interconnected, interdependent modern world in which many disenfranchised and marginalized individuals are living a recurring nightmare. Chapter three examines Le Clézio’s deconstruction of the simplistic ideology of consumerism that is indicative of contemporary consumer republics. This section also underscores the intricate systems of hegemonic domination, such as the media, created by the transnational corporations that dominate the global economic landscape to sustain their supremacy. Chapter four delves into Le Clézio’s ecocentric humanism that extends to all other living creatures by debunking Manichean dualities that separate human beings from elemental matter and the rest of the universe. The final chapter examines recent texts, such as Raga, Ourania, and Histoire du pied et autres fantaisies, which encourage the reader to envision what a more just and egalitarian global village might encompass. These works dismiss neoliberal fantasies and consumerist ideology that have justified the systematic exploitation of everyone and everything in the name of progress, but they also urge the modern subject to be resilient in the face of tremendous adversity. Instead of accepting the imposition of a monolithic, socioeconomic model that is riddled with inequality and injustice and which serves the interests of the Happy Few, Le Clézio suggests that the first step is to resist integration into the global village by stoically confronting reality and having the necessary courage to propose another vision which counterpoints McLuhan’s misguided one.
