Apprenticeship Writings of Frank Norris 1896-1898
Frank Norris (1870-1902) has long been recognized by cultural historians as a "touchstone" figure, clearly signaling in 1899 the emergence of an Amer. school of Literary Naturalism. "McTeague: A Story of San Francisco" secured this honor for him that year as it registered more fully than any previous Amer. novel the Darwinian view of life that is the essential characteristic of all subsequent Naturalistic fictions. It thus marked as well the rejection of the Victorian Era's habitually idealistic representations of human nature and its basically religious world-view, offering instead a post-metaphysical portrait of the human condition that has remained popular in 20th-cent. literary and intellectual circles. Includes all of the known writings of Norris published between 11 April 1896 and 1897. Illus.

Pathways Into the Study of Ancient Sciences
These essays offer a sampling of the incredible wealth of knowledge and expertise of David E. Pingree (1933-2005), Brown Univ. Professor of the History of Math. and Classics. His contributions to the history of science are immeasurable. Pingree defined science as "a systematic explanation of perceived or imaginary phenomena" "This broad view of science includes astronomy, mathematics, and other sciences with which we are familiar today as well as those subjects deemed nonscientific by today's standards, such as astrology and magic . . . ."[Pingree] repeatedly demonstrated that not only were each of these subjects worthy of study in their own right, but that in the Ancient and Medieval periods these fields were closely interconnected.

Neuroquantology - The Psychedelic Universe - The Doors of Perception
Psychedelics help in communicating with quantal reality and quantal life. Psychedelics have aromatic rings structure like phenolic compounds and benzene which have macroscopic quantal states and have a wave-particle existence. They can open up ion channels in the neurons and create electron gradients. The electron can exist in multiple superpositions in the multiverse and this helps the psychedelics to help the brain communicate with quantal reality. Psychedelic experiences include fractal geometries and 3-dimensional constructs. It also includes figures like angels and demons. They are algorithmic intelligence structured in quantal foam and quantal vacuum constituting quantal life forms. They are not similar to physical intelligence but can be termed as post-biologic intelligence. The quantal life forms and post-biologic life or algorithmic life structured in quantal reality constitute God-like intelligence.

Increasing the Sensitivity of Surface Acoustic Wave Chemical Sensors and Other Chemical Sensing Investigations
The work involves the fabrication and testing of three different surface acoustic wave (SAW) device designs, an investigation of nanowires sensitive to chemicals and preconcentrator prototypes to include with chemical sensors. The SAW chemical sensor designs include modifications to a basic SAW device to see if the sensitivity of the SAW device is increased. The modifications consist of etched trenches along the propagation field, coating the device with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under the chemically sensitive layer and coating CNTs on top of the chemically sensitive layer. SAW devices are coated with Nafion, a polymer sensitive to ethanol. The tests indicate that trenches etched between the transducer fields increase the sensitivity of the SAW devices. The increase of sensitivity is signified by a shift of peak frequency of an extra 100kHz over the unaltered device after five minutes of flowing ethanol.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Well done."-- Rouzbeh Yassini-Fard, inventor of internet over cable"A provocative invitation to further thinking...accessible and enjoyable...Steven Reed Nelson is a free ranging thinker."-- Charles Giuliano, Berkshire Fine Arts"He isn't just 'some guy' with an idea...a long career in communications and technology...his theory is worth reading." -- Jennifer Huberdeau, The Berkshire EagleIf you read SAPIENS by Juval Noah Harari, then you must read FIRE IN A WIRE.Fire tells the story Sapiens missed, about the most momentous development in recent human history: using electricity.Just as fire enabled the evolution of our prehistoric ancestors, so is electricity empowering our ongoing evolution now.Electricity is the new fire. Fire in a wire.Many archaic humans arose and then went extinct, like the Neanderthals. Conventional wisdom says Homo sapiens is the sole surviving species of human. But Steven Reed Nelson disagrees. He writes that evolution does not end with sapiens. A dynamic new species is emerging, not in some imagined future but living among us today: Homo electric.The electrified world is our natural habitat. We use electricity for everything: from providing food to medical care to artificial intelligence to sex. We can't live without it. It is fundamentally changing who we are. We can see things, hear things, do things, know things and imagine things not possible without electricity.We no longer live in the natural world observed by Charles Darwin and governed by "the survival of the fittest." We can override natural selection. We can alter our DNA. We are taking control of our own evolution. We can, and we must, if we are to survive threats like climate change.If you are curious about who we were, who we are and who we yet might be, read Fire in a Wire. It will challenge you to rethink who you are and who you are becoming as a human being in the Electric Age.

The Links Between Science, Philosophy, and Military Theory
This study examines the links between science, philosophy, and military theory. The author uses two case studies to demonstrate the links between these disciplines. He presents an overview on the rise of Newtonian science, and he examines how the key frameworks and concepts of that science became interwoven into Western civilization to affect its philosophy with an emphasis on its interpretation by the German Romanticist philosopher Immanuel Kant. He then shows how Newtonian science and Kant's philosophy affected the military theory of Carl von Clausewitz. His second case study concerns the theory and philosophy of evolution developed by British philosopher Herbert Spencer and its influence on the military theory of J. F.C. Fuller. The author compares these two case studies to find commonalities between them that suggest a mechanism which explains how and why scientific theory and their philosophical interpretations eventually influence military theory. The author then uses this mechanism as a tool with which "new" sciences such as quantum mechanics, relativity, and complexity theory can be evaluated to see if and in what manner they will affect future military theories. The main concept of this mechanism is that science and philosophy, both consciously and unconsciously, provide frameworks for investigation and systems of knowledge for the military theorist. Finally, this study suggests that new definitions of the concepts of force, space, time, and knowledge will have an influence on future military theory. The shift from the Newtonian framework of cause and effect determinism to the new science concept of probabilities and trends-as well as the shift from the force of heavy mechanics to the new particle wave theories of force-will change man's concept of the battlefield, emphasizing the capability for rapid observation and action.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
