DOWNLOAD EBOOKThroughout history, there have been stories about extraordinary, unexplainable, supernatural events. You may have read one of these stories, or you may have seen a story on television or heard one from a friend or relative. When you heard the story, you probably thought it was a fantasy or the person telling it was a fake, a fraud, a weirdo, or a phony. If you read the story in the Bible or in a book, you may have thought that stories about supernatural events do not occur in modern-day society. In this new age of science and reason, there is a logical, scientific explanation for everything, right? But is it possible that even today, in our modern society, there are regular people, who are not psychics or mediums or spiritualists, who have had premonitions, sent telepathic messages, witnessed healings, seen deceased loved ones, seen spirits and ghosts, witnessed objects or paintings inexplicably fall from walls just before a critical moment, and experienced other events that scientist simply cannot explain? In this book, Bernie Brown, a twenty-nine-year retired prosecutor, interviews ordinary people who say they have experienced a supernatural event. Each event is critically reviewed with a scathing analysis to assess credibility and legitimacy. Was it a supernatural event, or was it an event that can be explained by logical reasoning, consistent with the ordinary laws of science and physics? Each case is subjected to a prosecutor's analysis for truth and veracity and an evaluation of the probability that a jury of one's peers would validate or invalidate the legitimacy of the supernatural event. Along the way, Bernie describes his own list of personal supernatural events and subjects them to the same critical, common-sense analysis as all other cases. You will be shocked by his stories and the stories he has heard and surprised by his verdicts. In the end, your concept of truth and reality will be expanded, upended, and redefined; and your perception of the realm of human possibilities will never be the same.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Smart, fast, clever, and funny (As f*ck!)” (Tiffany Haddish), this collection of side-splitting and illuminating essays by the popular stand-up comedian, alum of Chelsea Lately and The Mindy Project, and host of truTV’s Talk Show the Game Show is perfect for fans of the New York Times bestsellers Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling and We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby. From a young age, Guy Branum always felt as if he were on the outside looking in. From a stiflingly boring farm town, he couldn’t relate to his neighbors. While other boys played outside, he stayed indoors reading Greek mythology. And being gay and overweight, he got used to diminishing himself. But little by little, he started learning from all the sad, strange, lonely outcasts in history who had come before him, and he started to feel hope. In this “singular, genuinely ballsy, and essential” (Billy Eichner) collection of personal essays, Guy talks about finding a sense of belonging at Berkeley—and stirring up controversy in a newspaper column that led to a run‑in with the Secret Service. He recounts the pitfalls of being typecast as the “Sassy Gay Friend,” and how, after taking a wrong turn in life (i.e. law school), he found stand‑up comedy and artistic freedom. He analyzes society’s calculated deprivation of personhood from fat people, and how, though it’s taken him a while to accept who he is, he has learned that with a little patience and a lot of humor, self-acceptance is possible. “Keenly observant and intelligent, Branum’s book not only offers uproarious insights into walking paths less traveled, but also into what self-acceptance means in a world still woefully intolerant of difference” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). My Life as a Goddess is an unforgettable and deeply moving book by one of today’s most endearing and galvanizing voices in comedy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKVolume I, entitled “Augmentation of Brain Functions: Brain-Machine Interfaces”, is a collection of articles on neuroprosthetic technologies that utilize brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). BMIs strive to augment the brain by linking neural activity, recorded invasively or noninvasively, to external devices, such as arm prostheses, exoskeletons that enable bipedal walking, means of communication and technologies that augment attention. In addition to many practical applications, BMIs provide useful research tools for basic science. Several articles cover challenges and controversies in this rapidly developing field, such as ways to improve information transfer rate. BMIs can be applied to the awake state of the brain and to the sleep state, as well. BMIs can augment action planning and decision making. Importantly, BMI operations evoke brain plasticity, which can have long-lasting effects. Advanced neural decoding algorithms that utilize optimal feedback controllers are key to the BMI performance. BMI approach can be combined with the other augmentation methods; such systems are called hybrid BMIs. Overall, it appears that BMI will lead to many powerful and practical brain-augmenting technologies in the future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMendacity in Early Modern Literature and Culture examines the historical, cultural, and epistemological underpinnings of lying and deception in early modern England, including the political, religious, aesthetic, and philosophical discourses that governed the codes of lying and truth-telling from the sixteenth to the early eighteenth centuries. The contributions to this collection draw on a wide range of early modern English literature from Shakespeare to Swift, and from travel writing to poetry, in order to explore the extent to which plays, poems, and narrative texts in this period were sites of negotiation, and, at times, of ideological warfare between the moral imperative of truth-telling and the expediency of telling lies. What were the cultural norms of truthfulness and lying, and on what basis were they constructed? What were the consequences when someone did not share the assumed common project of truth-telling? And which forms of communication were exempt from the pragmatic strictures on mendacious discourse? This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Journal of English Studies.
