Roger Caillois,Meyer Barash: Man, Play and Games

Description

According to Roger Caillois, play is "an occasion of pure waste: waste of time, energy, ingenuity, skill, and often of money." In spite of this - or because of it - play constitutes an essential element of human social and spiritual development.In this classic study, Caillois defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space, isolated and protected from the rest of life. Play is uncertain, since the outcome may not be foreseen, and it is governed by rules that provide a level playing field for all participants. In its most basic form, play consists of finding a response to the opponent's action - or to the play situation - that is free within the limits set by the rules.Caillois qualifies types of games - according to whether competition, chance, simulation, or vertigo (being physically out of control) is dominant - and ways of playing, ranging from the unrestricted improvisation characteristic of children's play to the disciplined pursuit of solutions to gratuitously difficult puzzles. Caillois also examines the means by which games become part of daily life and ultimately contribute to various cultures their most characteristic customs and institutions. Presented here in Meyer Barash's superb English translation, Man, Play and Games is a companion volume to Caillois's Man and the Sacred.

Albert Einstein: Relativity

Description

From the age of Galileo until the early years of the 20th century, scientists grappled with seemingly insurmountable paradoxes inherent in the theories of classical physics. With the publication of Albert Einstein's "special" and "general" theories of relativity, however, traditional approaches to solving the riddles of space and time crumbled. In their place stood a radically new view of the physical world, providing answers to many of the unsolved mysteries of pre-Einsteinian physics. Acclaimed as the pinnacle of scientific philosophy, the theories of relativity tend to be regarded as the exclusive domain of highly trained scientific minds. The great physicist himself disclaimed this exclusionary view, and in this book, he explains both theories in their simplest and most intelligible form for the layman not versed in the mathematical foundations of theoretical physics. In addition to the theories themselves, this book contains a final part presenting fascinating considerations on the universe as a whole. Appendices cover the simple derivation of the Lorentz transformation, Minkowski's four-dimensional space, and the experimental confirmation of the general theory of relativity. Students, teachers, and other scientifically minded readers will appreciate this inexpensive and accessible interpretation of one of the world's greatest intellectual accomplishments.

There's a force in Arelon known as the Dor that randomly chooses people and grants them divine powers. Elantris was once the city of the gods, where anyone who was 'chosen' went to live. Ten years ago, the Elantrians lost their powers and caught a terrible disease instead. From that point on, Elantris became a quarantine zone for any that caught that disease. Lose yourself in one of mankind's oldest mysteries! An object of centuries of study and speculation, "The Voynich Manuscript" has been puzzling and exciting inquisitive minds since it was brought to academic attention in the 17th Century. But despite the innumerable hours experts have spent poring over its pages, the boundless sea of question marks and dead-ends threaten to drown what little confirmed knowledge years of scholarship has yielded. Although the book remains utterly indecipherable to this day, linguists have uncovered a variety of patterns in the text that they've deemed consistent with the structure of several natural languages. Because the word structures seem to be similar to those of Central and East Asian languages of the 15th Century, some linguists have suggested that the manuscript is written in a phonetic script invented to express a Vietnamese, Chinese, or Tibetan language. Others suggest that it is written in a hitherto unknown Germanic language or Nahuatl language, which would have its origins in central Mexico. Adding to the confusion is the relative obscurity of the manuscript's origins. Passed through the hands of a variety of movers and shakers in the 16th, 17th, and 18th Centuries, "The Relativity free pdf Voynich Manuscript" is said to have been in the possession of Roman Emperor Rudolph II, alchemist George Baresch, and Athanasius Kircher at various points. Emperor Rudolph II allegedly believed the author to be the Franciscan Monk and scientist Roger Bacon (1214 -1292), an assertion that is given some credence today. Nevertheless, the book's authorship remains the subject of fierce debate and speculation (especially since a recent carbon-dating of the manuscript places its creation at the beginning of the 15th Century). A number of experts contend that the manuscript is simply a wildly elaborate and remarkable hoax. Complete with full-color botanical, anatomical, and astrological charts that only serve to deepen the mystery, this high-quality printing of the manuscript in its entirety is the perfect addition to your library. Read carefully, the key to unravelling this titillating historical mystery could be right under your nose. . . .

Paul Halpern: Edge of the Universe: A Voyage to the Cosmic Horizon and Beyond

Description

An accessible look at the mysteries that lurk at the edge of the known universe and beyondThe observable universe, the part we can see with telescopes, is incredibly vast. Yet recent theories suggest that there is far more to the universe than what our instruments record--in fact, it could be infinite. Colossal flows of galaxies, large empty regions called voids, and other unexplained phenomena offer clues that our own ""bubble universe"" could be part of a greater realm called the multiverse. How big is the observable universe? What it is made of? What lies beyond it? Was there a time before the Big Bang? Could space have unseen dimensions? In this book, physicist and science writer Paul Halpern explains what we know--and what we hope to soon find out--about our extraordinary cosmos.Explains what we know about the Big Bang, the accelerating universe, dark energy, dark flow, and dark matter to examine some of the theories about the content of the universe and why its edge is getting farther away from us fasterExplores the idea that the observable universe could be a hologram and that everything that happens within it might be written on its edgeWritten by physicist and popular science writer Paul Halpern, whose other books include "Collider: The Search for the World's Smallest Particles," and "What's Science Ever Done For Us: What the Simpsons Can Teach Us About Physics, Robots, Life, and the Universe"

Larry Dossey: One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters

Description
