DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlastair Reynolds returns to his bestselling Revelation Space universe with two novellas of interstellar exploration. "Diamond Dogs"The planet Golgotha -- supposedly lifeless -- resides in a remote star system, far from those inhabited by human colonists. It is home to an enigmatic machine-like structure called the Blood Spire, which has already brutally and systematically claimed the lives of one starship crew that attempted to uncover its secrets. But nothing will deter Richard Swift from exploring this object of alien origin... "Turquoise Days"In the seas of Turquoise live the Pattern Jugglers, the amorphous, aquatic organisms capable of preserving the memories of any human swimmer who joins their collective consciousness. Naqi Okpik devoted her life to studying these creatures -- and paid a high price for swimming among them.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIgnorance and Imagination advances a novel way to resolve the central philosophical problem about the mind: how it is that consciousness or experience fits into a larger naturalistic picture of the world. The correct response to the problem, Stoljar argues, is not to posit a realm of experience distinct from the physical, nor to deny the reality of phenomenal experience, nor even to rethink our understanding of consciousness and the language we use to talk about it. Instead, we should view the problem itself as a consequence of our ignorance of the relevant physical facts. Stoljar shows that this change of orientation is well motivated historically, empirically, and philosophically, and that it has none of the side effects it is sometimes thought to have. The result is a philosophical perspective on the mind that has a number of far-reaching consequences: for consciousness studies, for our place in nature, and for the way we think about the relationship between philosophy and science.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is an article of faith in contemporary analytic philosophy that the problem of consciousness is conceptual in origin; that is, that it arises because of unclarity in the concept of consciousness (or related concepts), and such a solution to the problem would involve a clarification of the relevant concepts. Ignorance and Imagination argues that solutions of this kind are misguided because they all stem from a mistake view of the problem. In particular, the problem itself is not conceptual in origin but is epistemic; that is, it arises from our ignorance of some of the physical facts. Stoljar argues once one has a clear view of the nature of the problem, a solution to it is relatively easy to provide.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe prophetic church is on the rise to bring a hope reformation to the world! The Hope Diamond is the largest blue diamond on Earth and it is the heavenly symbol of this hope reformation. The Hope Diamond has a voice. It carries a message from God that can be heard by those who understand the scriptural meaning of jewels and color. In this book the Hope Diamond’s true identity and heavenly message are revealed. Five physical senses help people interpret the material world: sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound. Each of these senses has a greater spiritual match! Once awakened these senses defy the limits of what could formerly be perceived and engage us with reality on a whole new level. The spiritual dimension earnestly awaits each individual awakening. Tasting Blue is a collection of prophetic writing that cultures and nurtures the spiritual senses. It beckons each reader beyond the mental confines of worldly perspective and helps us to interpret reality through a different kind of sight. Ephesians 1:17 says that Jesus opens our eyes! The surprise lies, in the set of eyes, that Jesus comes to open. Laura Francis writes in poems and parables-a form of prophetic language seen often within the Scriptures. She writes to accelerate our understanding of spiritual realities. Using scriptural references, her work helps reveal the treasure found within the pages of the Holy Bible: precious words given by God to edify, encourage and comfort humanity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhy do people single out gold, sapphires, diamonds, and other minerals as particularly “precious”? What makes precious minerals “precious”? Drawing from ethnographic and cross-cultural research, this collection of anthropological essays and case studies answers these questions by exploring humans’ multifaceted relationships with the minerals they deem “precious.” The Anthropology of Precious Minerals addresses the entanglement of humans and minerals, with a particular focus on the practices of scrappers, miners, and hunters as they work to extract value. The editors draw from history, archaeology, and ethnography, and remind us that “preciousness” must always be understood in relation to complex cultural, political-economic, and semiotic systems of value.
