Science Fiction

Science Fiction

Patrick Parrinder

Routledge
2017
sidottu
First published in 1979. What do we mean by Science Fiction? What does it do, and why do so many people read it? What are its characteristic values, attitudes and procedures? Is it a creative force in our society, or merely a pathological symptom? How much of it is worth the attention of the ordinary 'non-scientific' or 'non-addicted' reader?That these questions are frequently asked is a consequence of Science Fiction's current status as a highly popular and fashionable art-form. They are not easy to answer because SF is a confused concept and a confused field, varying from formula-repetition and institutionalized self-congratulation on the one hand to the most profound imaginative achievements on the other. This Critical Guide attempts a composite portrait of science fiction as a form of creative literature: not, that is, as a disembodied current of notions and ideas (e.g. about technological progress), nor as a 'sub-literature' which may only one day hope to aspire to literary status.

ELF and VLF Electromagnetic Field Effects

ELF and VLF Electromagnetic Field Effects

Michael Persinger

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2012
nidottu
Recent emphasis upon the importance of the physical environment has made science and the public even more cog­ nizant of the many components of the biosphere. While much attention has been given to ionizing electromagnetic stimuli which causes blatant and unalterable changes in biological systems, relatively little research has been concerned with those electromagnetic signals whose frequencies overlap with time-varying processes in living organisms. Extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields can occur as waves between about I Hz to 100 Hz or as short pulses within this range of very low frequency (VLF) and higher frequency sources. The natural occurrence of ELF signals is associated with weather changes, solar disturbances and geophysical­ ionospheric perturbations. Man-made sources have also been reported. Certain physical properties of ELF signals make them excellent candidates for biologically important stimuli. Unlike many other weather components, ELF signals have the capacity to penetrate structures which house living organ­ isms. ELF wave configurations allow long distance propaga­ tional capacities without appreciable attenuation of inten­ sity, thus making them antecedent stimuli to approaching weather changes. Most importantly, ELF signals exhibit the frequencies and wave forms of bio-electrical events that occur within the brain and body. Thus resonance inter­ actions between animal and nature become attractive possi­ bilities.

Labor in Israel

Labor in Israel

Jonathan Preminger

Cornell University Press
2018
sidottu
Using a comprehensive analysis of the wave of organizing that swept the country starting in 2007, Labor in Israel investigates the changing political status of organized labor in the context of changes to Israel's political economy, including liberalization, the rise of non-union labor organizations, the influx of migrant labor, and Israel's complex relations with the Palestinians. Through his discussion of organized labor's relationship to the political community and its nationalist political role, Preminger demonstrates that organized labor has lost the powerful status it enjoyed for much of Israel's history. Despite the weakening of trade unions and the Histadrut, however, he shows the ways in which the fragmentation of labor representation has created opportunities for those previously excluded from the labor movement regime. Organized labor is now trying to renegotiate its place in contemporary Israel, a society that no longer accepts labor's longstanding claim to be the representative of the people. As such, Preminger concludes that organized labor in Israel is in a transitional and unsettled phase in which new marginal initiatives, new organizations, and new alliances that have blurred the boundaries of the sphere of labor have not yet consolidated into clear structures of representation or accepted patterns of political interaction.

Learning To Depend On God: Timeless Lessons From God's Word

Learning To Depend On God: Timeless Lessons From God's Word

Josiah Persinger

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2016
nidottu
If we want to please God, we must learn to depend on Him. In fact, learning how to depend on God is one of the most important things a Christian should know. Depending on God means acknowledging that God is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Since God is our creator, He is the only one who can supply the strength we need to follow Him. As God's creation, we will always find that reliance on ourselves is never enough. As humans we are "finite", this means we have limits and weaknesses that cannot be overcome on our own. However, God is "infinite". As our Creator, He knows everything about us and He has no weaknesses or limits. The first step to depending on God is acknowledging that we are finite and cannot make it on our own. God hates "self-dependence" and He honors our dependence upon Him. We cannot depend on God without faith, because, unless we have faith in God's promises, there is nothing to depend on. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Hebrews 11:1-3 God honors faith, and without it, we cannot please God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6

François Truffaut: Cinema as an Act of Love: An Intertextual Approach

François Truffaut: Cinema as an Act of Love: An Intertextual Approach

Aner Preminger

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

Aner Preminger, renowned filmmaker, scholar and professor of film studies, provides an unexpected and refreshing overview of Fran ois Truffaut's films, from the perspective of his long and varied career in the art of filmmaking. Preminger introduces readers to theories rarely applied to the cinema, based on the inter-relationships between diverse works of art and the ensuing dialogues between artists. In clear and comprehensible terms, Preminger provides a reexamination of Truffaut, an artist who conducted a vibrant and lively dialogue with his cultural heritage. Fran ois Truffaut: Cinema as An act of love - An intertextual approach includes illuminating and spellbinding interpretations of Truffaut's better-known films, such as The 400 Blows, Jules and Jim and Day for Night, which won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 1974, as well as his lesser-known films, including Shoot the Piano Player and Love on the Run and reveals outlooks new to Truffaut studies. Fran ois Truffaut: Cinema as An act of love - An intertextual approach will appeal to the numerous viewers who love and enjoy Truffaut's films and also to those not yet familiar with his oeuvre. This is a book about a man who loved films, and every chapter bears witness to the author's love for Truffaut's films and the world he constructs therein. Preminger's previous book, Enchanted Screen, A Chronology of Media and Language, published by the Open University, dealt with the history of cinema. His films include Front Window, Blind Man's Bluff, Last Resort, Present Continuous, On My Way to Father's Land, Ransom of the Father and One Eye Wide Open.

Nobody Knows I'm Famous

Nobody Knows I'm Famous

Shawn Persinger

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
"Nobody Knows I'm Famous" is a frank and insightful book that illustrates what it means to be a prolific, eccentric, successful, and unknown musician in the twenty-first century. Guitarist Shawn Persinger came of age in the post-Warholian, pre-Internet 1980s. It was a time when success was measured by bank accounts and record sales, video airplay and magazine covers, home square footage and gossip column romances; a time when fame and fortune seemed promised to anyone who played guitar - though it didn't turn out that way for most. Fast forward 30 years: While producing a far-from-commercial, guitar quartet entitled Halloween Baptizm, Persinger began documenting his creative process with hopes of clarifying some of his long-held beliefs regarding art and achievement; beliefs that seemed to be losing validity or were in need of more than flippant rationalizations. His introspection led to this refreshing and whimsical book that goes far beyond an artist's everyday routine. Filled with practical advice gleaned from firsthand knowledge, Persinger provides a glimpse into the providential workings of creativity and accomplishment: The importance of always following the Muse; finding the balance between self-confidence and self-doubt; questioning preconceived notions; and understanding that there are no absolutes, objectivity is a myth, and everything is relative.

Red Dirt Memories

Red Dirt Memories

Jerry Permenter

Stephen F. Austin State University Press
2019
sidottu
Red Dirt Memories is a tribute to a way of life that has almost disappeared as quickly as it began, taking you beyond pastures dotted with herds of cattle, past the hatchery, the feed mill, and then to the foot of Swift Hill, where a red dirt road winds down then up again for two miles. Then as now, a car raises a cloud of red dust to signal a visitor, where only a clearing is left of the pine shack it once held, with the smokehouse and the outhouse beyond long decayed and torn down. Wild honeysuckle has taken over the chimney remnants, and all the ghosts simply wait for the right moment to conjure their old memories in this timeless collection that reminds us of our similarities, rather than the differences that divide us.

Ethan Leavitt is on a mission to reinvent himself at college, but he never thought that would involve joining a fraternity. For one thing, he's gay, and for another, he was a total nerd in high school. Then during rush week, he and his best friend Jayson get stopped by Oliver, the insanely hot pledge chair at Tau Alpha Theta Tau welcomes all kinds of quality young men, Oliver explains, and their mission is to create a more inclusive society. Ethan's skeptical, but Jayson pushes him along to a party that turns out to be pretty much the best night of Ethan's life. Initiation is really fun, and just like that, Ethan has an amazing friend group, gay and straight. He's feeling for the first time in his life he's found a place where he belongs. Things get a little strange when Ethan moves into the frat house annex and discovers the guys are running a reality-based porn website called Frat House Secrets. But it's not so serious. Anyone who's not comfortable doesn't have to participate, and it's mostly just walking around the house in the buff for the video feed. Going away to college is all about new experiences, right? It's easy money and kind of fun. But someone's watching Frat House Secrets, and they've got a score to settle with Tau.
